Today marks the 25th anniversary of Soul Reaver! 🦇 🎂 🎊

So I'm taking this opportunity to share my copy 🔥

This game was so impressive for its time! 😍

So, the painting is by Bob Wakelin 🖌️ (thanks @stefanjl for the info!)

Here's the back of the box and the contents.

As you can see, this is the Amiga version. I used to play Ivanhoe on this computer 😀

Received this beautiful box yesterday! 😀

I really liked this game despite its flaws.

I wonder who did the illustration because it's gorgeous! 😍

The Outcast cover art is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen 🤩

(this is my copy, bought in 1999 💖)

Here's the back of the Dungeon Master box 💫

With nice screenshots and a description in 3 languages 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇩🇪

It really is a great box ❤️

Box contents: disks and manuals for Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back.

There's also this sheet with symbols. I don't know what it's for (probably related to CSB)

A few years ago, I managed to unearth a copy of Space Quest III 😀

I made a thread on Twitter showing images of the contents if you're interested:

I can't resist showing you the manual page describing the game concept and the presentation of each level.

(the manual is in French only)

The aim is to bring an android back to life by restoring its circuits.

Here's the back of the box and the contents 📦

There's a description of the game, and something rare enough to mention: the names of the developers!

Michel Rho, Rémi Herbulot, Patrick Dublanchet, Stéphane Picq. All very talented people in their field 🙂

So I'm very happy to own the box 💖

Oops! 🤭

When I opened the box, I got popcorn everywhere! 🍿

I must leave you now. The movie's about to start 🎬 🏰 🎺

As many people enjoyed the video I posted on Defender of the Crown, I had to show off the gorgeous box 🤩

Even the floppy disks have a nice label! 👑

A funny anecdote: for a long time I thought that the first time I played Operation Stealth was on Amiga (because I remember the music from this version very well). Until I found the box several years ago. It was a shock!

Now that my collection of Delphine Software games on Atari ST and Amiga is complete, I had to capture the moment! 😀

The only originals I'd kept were Operation Stealth, Cruise for a Corpse and Another World. The others I bought (back) over time 💖

This is the first time I've handled the Castle Warrior box.

It was the only Delphine Software game (16-bit era) that I had never owned.

Here's an overview 📸

New entry! 📭

It was the last Delphine Software game missing from my collection 😀

Castle Warrior was the second game developed by the company (after Bio Challenge and before Future Wars)

I really like the design of the box 💫

Let the die be cast! I opened the book carefully 📖

The first pages are adorned with pictures and inscriptions. In a foreign language that sounds strangely like German. I can't quite make it out.

Could it be a warning? 😱

Received a mysterious package today 📦

This book seems very old... What dark secrets could it hold? 💀

The temptation to open it is strong! Will I resist? 😅
