Sorry!! I used the wrong word here! I meant “badly edited”, in dutch the word for text editing is “redactie” or “redigeren”. That’s where the mistake came from. 😅 I’m referring to the Monkey Island anthology where they put the logo’s in the wrong order and, if I remember correctly, delivered a book which had some questionable spelling and grammar.

James Woodcock of Pixel Refresh interviewed me about the poster project, and for the first time I'll show a more in-depth look at my restoration processes. Also, this was my first appearance on a podcast, so I stumble over the English languange a lot. Still, I hope it's enjoyable! https://www.pixelrefresh.com/game-gadget-podcast-25-restoring-retro-game-posters-with-jan-hofmeister/

Spammer trying to sell these fine leather jackets. To us! 😏 Thought I'd share in this... related topic 😂

Just watched it, very interesting! Thanks for sharing your processes, really cool to see! Incidentally, if you're looking for a new entry to work on, I'd love to see a high quality recreation of the landscape 2D Full Throttle cover that Peter Chan did, using the various available sources:

Oh, that's nice of them to make that afforda.... Oh. And yeah, I don't quite get what "redacted" means in this context, but I have to kind of agree with at least some of the sentiment. I'd rather have a nice-looking throwback PC game "big box" with a couple of nostalgic paper feelies and a sturdy game case within, compared to a lot of these extravagant collector's editions where the game itself starts to feels like an afterthought. The Monkey Island anthology set came with a lot of cool stuff, but I really do wish they could have packed the statue and book outside of a more reasonably-sized display box to show off on a shelf... because the box we did get is literally too large for any of my shelves. The RtMI box pictured on the Limited Run site looks like it's probably about the dimensions I'd picture for a retro PC game box, but I'd be nervous to make assumptions after I so underestimated the size of the Anthology box. Seriously I hate to complain about that set because it's such a nice tribute and it's full of such cool stuff but it is literally sitting in the corner of my living room floor because where else am I gonna put it. And it's funny because this happened to me twice: the amazing interactive Linking Book box that Cyan put together for the Myst series 25th anniversary collection was also about twice as big as I thought it'd be. At least that one fits snugly into a bookshelf. Ah well.

What the hell does this even mean?

I hate that physical releases have come to this… I just want a nice boxed version like in the old days. Not some overpriced, belated, badly redacted fanbox with some poorly made trinkets…

I asked Ron and Dave about this on Twitter, and turns out the violinist was made solely for the teaser trailer.

Really like the look of the big box, but as usual with these types of CEs I'm not that interested in the things included in it - and certainly not enough to pay the higher price. I'll be getting the standard Switch edition.
