Thanks! I'd say it's probably one of the first decent collector's edition released on the PC in that it came in an oversized box with plenty of extra's and not just the game repackaged. Released way back in 1994 so it's definitely up there in the old stakes according to the DB.

I love how it comes with a VHS tape just for that extra retro feel. :)
