OK, a bunch more before trying to get out the statues and the rest out of the polystyrene. I need to be extra careful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huz Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 That floppy disk isn't even write protected. RISKY. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rum Rogers Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 OK, this is what we were all waiting for anyway I suppose: And everyone's favorite candle holder! There's more stuff but I guess I'll leave the rest as a cliffhanger for the other collectors? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 The contents of the USB and the reason for two ToMI discs are the two biggest question marks for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rum Rogers Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 @Laserschwert Well that's disappointing, I can't seem to read it at all. I'm on Windows 10 so it's not like I messed up a Linux setting. Currently raging. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a machine with Linux at reach right now, but I highly doubt it's the issue, since 99% of the players will open this with a Window system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite literally starting to think I had imagined it (as I never gained any traction talking about it over the last 30 years) so I'm very happy it is now a stated fact! Yes!! Me too! I swear I saw something along these lines but I'd never been able to verify it anywhere. I've even asked about it online before, but nobody answered. Every Amiga mag is available as an online scan these days. I'd love to find that original advert, but I'm super glad it's finally been confirmed, too. El Carlo. How interesting!

Thank you for all the support, guys! Thanks for all the amazing pics! So great to see it in more detail as someone who doesn't own it. Other owners: Please share divulge! (My secret hope: Ron has written his answer to the whole "Secret of Monkey Island" thing for inclusion on the floppy disk... but nobody owns a floppy drive anymore... argh (actually I do)) Edited December 15, 2021 by ThunderPeel2001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummbuddy Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I'm hoping it's just a wav file of Dominic's singing on MI3. "For those cold, dark shipboard nights, We've got boxers, briefs, and tights Made from cotton, silk, or satin, In styles Anglo, Dutch, and Latin, When you sail don't take a chance Wearing nothing 'neath your pants! Trust...Silver's Long Johns! (They breathe!)" (Thanks ScummBar!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATMcashpoint Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 My copy arrived today. I can confirm that part of the USB stick is corrupt. The USB stick is supposed to contain the EGA, VGA floppy, and Amiga versions of MI1; the DOS, Amiga, and Macintosh versions of MI2; CMI; EMI (for PC, not PS2); and TOMI (probably the DVD version since it's labeled "no DRM") . All of the floppy versions of the games are supposed to come with both raw disk images and Kryoflux images included. However, EMI is corrupt, as is the Macintosh version of MI2 (both raw images and Kryoflux data). The CDs only include the SEs of MI1 and MI2. However, the version of EMI included there seems to be OK, thankfully. Also, the EGA and VGA floppy versions of MI1 are labeled as "5.25" and "3.5" disk versions for some reason, though they appear to work fine. And the vintage MI1 CD version does not appear to be included, perhaps because it was felt to be "included" already in the MI1 SE. On a much happier note, the book included with the Anthology set is absolutely awesome. For example, aside from the "El Carlo" thing - which is part of a larger design document apparently included in full, which also includes Largo's original name, "Lord Jack" - there's also a memo from the LucasArts testing department about MI2, written by the late Judith Lucero. Ron posted the first page of this as a memorial when she passed away, but the full thing is included here. Judith Lucero was also interviewed for the book before she passed, which is very cool. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATMcashpoint Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Further update: Disk 22 appears to be blank. Also, I inserted the USB drive into my computer a second time and now it's refusing to read at all, much like the issue @Rum Rogerswas having. Fortunately, I copied all the data off of it that I could beforehand. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
