Don't have the original release box but I don't have this version. Two games in one. What times we lived in back then.

A small, six-building town, of blue buildings with red roofs, stretching along a road into the horizon. The lines of the roofs don't line up with the buildings. The border is grey. On the horizons, one sees cactuses. Below in the text area, it reads "YOU ARE IN THE VILLAGE OF SERENIA. AROUND YOU IS A DESERT. COMMAND?_"

TWiR covers an unusual global gaming contest and the hosts talk about the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Could Book Club be in our future?!

Plus more news for retro Star Wars game fans, an incredible Sinclair C5 hack, and more when This Week in Retro 259 arrives Saturday!

In this EXTREMELY text- and font-dense ad, a Commodore 64 is a computer flying to space, and the red Action Replay cartrige is a shuttlecraft about to dock with it. Headings include "WARP 25 BREAKS THE 5 SECOND BARRIER!!!" "PLUS UNIQUE CODE CRACKER MONITOR" and "POWERFUL DESIGN WITH ON BOARD L51 LOGIC PROCESSOR CHIP"

All the fun you can squeeze into 64k! youtu.be/PM18XTdua8s
We look at the international sensation Jet Set Willy and 1984's explosion of open-world adventure gaming. Plus a full Quake-style FPS in just 64k, and new flow coding and game engines for classic hardware.

>TAKE PITY AND EXAMINE IT.
Nobody's angry with Chris for self-destructive adventure game choices, just worried about him. 1984's hottest adventure titles, up-to-date coding environments for out-of-date platforms, a full 3D FPS in just 64k, and more when This Week in Retro 258 arrives this Saturday!

Going through all the CRTs today and every single Amstrad monitor works. These things are bombproof.
