Unfortunately I can't tell you any more about Police Blotter. I only have one copy and it's MS. On top of that, it's currently in storage, or I'd give you the description from the box. The only point I'll make is that it is an odd platform/media combination --- 1988 and Apple II/DOS with 3.5" and 5.25" disks. The only game I have like this.
First of all Apple II/DOS games (in same box) were pretty rare for quality titles. Secondly, 3.5" and 5.25" disks were very rare for 1988 titles. They were most popular around 1990-91 (when both drives were still common). 1992-93 3.5" become the game standard. I only know a couple of games on 3.5" in 1988 that were new...some might have earlier copyrights, but they were older games (with older copyrights) remanufactured later. My guess is that Police Blotter was actually released in 1989 - 92. Hugh -----Original Message----- From: C.E.

Indeed, they released a ton of titles and most are relatively easily to find, but most aren't very sought after by collectors. It's a shame, there are some neat pieces in some of them, such as game boards and markers. If anyone is looking for any particular titles, I have a boatload I haven't gotten around to listing yet. Hugh, I notice you list "Police Blotter" as an adventure, can you tell me a bit more about it? I haven't seen it on any of the adventure lists I've come across. > Lee just pointed out an AH game I have to put on my want list...Incunabula. > Anybody have one for trade or sale? Don't have this one, sorry. My current overlooked company is Med Systems / Screenplay. They published graphic adventures, RPG hack-and-slashes, and maze quests in the early 1980s. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
