H...haven't investigated that one
Does anyone have a complete list of which games came in which type of
packages? For example, I know Skyfox and Wasteland come in bifolds,
Starflight comes in a trifold, and Music Construction Set comes in
both a bifold and record sleeve (I think). If this was listed on the
GOTCHA pages, I
