When you remove the sleeve and open the box (which is pretty big!), it's like Christmas! 😀

Inside, there's a 112-page manual, 9 floppy disks, a rune table and a world map. The latter two are printed on "weathered" paper 🪶

You can see the entire illustration on the cover of the manual (on the box sleeve, it's cropped. The manual includes sections on how to install the game on Atari ST/Falcon and MS-DOS, but those versions were never released (since the development studio closed).

So happy to finally own Ambermoon! ✨

It might be the most beautiful and ambitious RPG ever released on Amiga. With a cover art that's to die for 🤩

And I haven't even shown you the contents yet!

A very large box for the game Ambermoon (1994, Thalion Software) — On the cover, which blends fantasy and science fiction, we see a group of four adventurers (dressed in medieval attire) standing on a rocky surface. Behind them, in the background, is a beautiful galleon and a starry expanse featuring two large planets, one of which resembles Earth. In the foreground, seen from behind, is a hooded humanoid creature standing on its two hands (similar to those of a sort of iguana visible nearby) as if trying to pull itself up, with its gaze turned toward the adventurers.

I can't wait to show you the new retro game I got this week 😃

It's a little-known (but great) Amiga game that I've been looking for for a long time. The cover art is gorgeous.

I hope I'll have time to take some nice photos tomorrow 📸

Here's what's inside The Drifter box! 🎁

There's a poster, a manual, Steam and GOG keys. And a CD!

So I'm going to install the game using my external CD drive 😀

Got my copy of The Drifter! 📭 😀

It comes in a beautiful box, the same size as the ones for Lucasfilm Games titles.

I hope I'll find time to play it this weekend 🤞

The contents are almost identical in both boxes.

The plan of the yacht is in English. And the manual is divided into two parts, each translated into three languages.

Here's the back of the boxes 🔍

The French edition highlights the plot and characters, while the English edition focuses more on the game’s features.

How could I have forgotten to show the English edition for the 35th anniversary of Cruise for a Corpse?

So here it is, next to the French edition ⛵️

I remember calling Micromania several times during the summer of '91 to try to order the game. It wasn't until the start of the school year in September that the game was released ⛵️

I couldn't wait to get home from school so I could play it!

My precious copy of Cruise for a Corpse / Croisière pour un Cadavre (French edition), bought in 1991! It came with a coupon to win an 8-day cruise on the Nile. I didn't win!
