make sure you install QEMM

Played some old school games recently. Kept wondering what DOS is. Dayum, don't know if I've ever seen such an old school setup before 😮

Good Man!! I have flashbacks

Nostalgic

I still have my complete copy. It came with both 5.25 and 3.5 floppies. My box, manual and map are a little worn but I have it. I still have my complete Star Flight 1 too. That one has a code wheel copy protection.

Those book-styled releases by Electronic Arts are actually very nice - they are more durable, since you don't wear flaps while opening them. Also, after opening the box, to the left is always some backstory and introduction of authors (including photo) - great way to give credit to people who worked on the game, instead of just listing them on the last page of the manual no one cares about.

Looks like a Star Control 2 clone, never heard of this game before.

the box art also must have been different between regions, because the msdos box i have, has the same art as the amiga box in your video. quick check online, confirms (wikipedia), that it is the european box artwork.

I like that even though your copy is missing the metal pin, you still mention and show it in the video. Thumbs up !

how they managed to forget to add a save function to this game, i still don't understand. still a hefty price for the 'worst' star trek game.

Great video! Remember when this game got released.... Instant classic and must have for every serious collector!

Awesome game and that box cover art looks just amazing! Have this in my collection as well. Future grail piece i.m.o.

glad to have been recommended this

Cool channel idea!

uuuhmmm... looks like you forgot to put the floppies back in the box 😄

Very nice collection! I too collect Big Box PC Games! Greeting from Canada and happy collecting!

Another fun fact, a sequel to Star Control 2 is in the works! Featuring the two original developers, Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III! As the Star Control name is nowadays owned by Stardock, it's under a new name Free Stars, with the sequel being called Free Stars: Children of Infinity

Back when you bought a game, half the fun was looking at all the stuff you got in the box along with it!

I played a ton of Star Control on a Demo PC at Sears as a kid.

Charming... I like your unboxing style alot, another nice thing is those boxes are fully complete, so one can use your videos for reference. And you even took the time to read included lorebooks in some of your videos aloud, which is a nice feat really. Big thumbs up !

Ah, my first flight simulator! Could never beat the campaign. Loved the manual, tho. I tried to cite it for some school paper one time, I think, but my mom shot that down (no pun intended). 😂 Thanks for the shot of nostalgia!

Amazing! Great memories!

The manual alone is worth the purchase!

Bloody hell, this has brought back memories...it is still probably in the attic somewhere.

That book alone was worth the money I paid for the game (and the game was fine indeed) Actually it's still in my bookshelves in 2024, next to SWOTL...

Amazing, they wrote an entire book and put it in the box!

I have always wanted to get my hands on this game.

What number of "The Adventurer" is that?

This, Day of the Tentacle and Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders were my favorites. Oh the childhood memories. Played them on the Commodore 64.

Hi, Im about to start a series of docu videos on adventure games, starting with Maniac Mansion. Im looking for some help with fact checking, and review mostly. Still working on the script, but it gets almost impossible to find experts on this game

Yes, people who played all the other Ultima games thought you know what would make the next game better platforming and we will make it so terrible that if you don't have pixel perfect precision you will fall in the water and die instantly, what were they thinking

can't be that many copies of that complete in the box still around

they had to add 5$ onto the price to cover the cost of that manual

I can remember going to the store and buying this when it first came out

Thanks for your video... Love to explore the goodies in the boxes with you! 🥰

Great game. My Mix 'n Mojo spinner wasn't nearly that pristine, I played the game too much for that!

nice The 5.25 inch version seems quite rare and seems to be sold for the most on ebay.

Consider doing a video on LucasArts' underrated 90s' classic, The Dig. The memory of that game still lives in my head. ***Edit, I commented before I saw the video, I did not expect to see an ad for the Dig. 😅

I managed to convince my parents to get a me my first CD drive and this game for my birthday back in high school. It was only a single speed so the game ran slow but it was cool to see moving video back then.

Amazing. I spent some dumb money about 20 years ago buying up old box editions of Avalon Hill/Atomic Games products from around the same time as this game (a bit later). There they sit, on the shelf, waiting to be chucked out by whoever draws the short straw to clear out my stuff once I shuffle off.

That was wicked. Perfect condition as well! Do you have SWotL (Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe)? I loved that one.

Nice nostalgic look back. Back in the day before RUclips (1995 ish) I used to do game reviews for a local Cable show called "The Computer Program". The first game I reviewed was Rebel Assault. The host had made a promise to a LucasArts rep that a review would appear on his show. That then fell to me (2 Years Later). At the time there was no way to capture game footage, so I had to aim a camera at the screen and attempt to play the game. I still have the review and I'm thinking about posting it in my channel. In fact, you know what, I'm going to. Give me some time and I'll make the transfer. You can see how we did it in the dark times. LOL.

Even as a kid I thought to myself, what kind of name is Rookie One?

I loved this game as a kid. Thanks for the nostalgia hit!

I hate those cardboard sleaves, can really scratch up the disk. Just shell out for a jewel case lucasarts lol. Otherwise a nice big box with great box art.

Thank you for these videos! So many good memories :)
