Title: Game Submission - Burden of Proof
Post by: bombatomba on January 29, 2013, 06:46:49 PM
I wasn't actually sure where this question would go, so I put it here.  Recently I submitted a variation for a know title, but since it is extremely obscure (and thus likely to stay in the submission queue for a while) I thought I would add this to it.


3-D Ultra Pinball: Creep Night [PC Treasures, Inc Version] (Publisher Variation)

I think one of the main problems is that the publisher is listed as Sierra/PC Treasures, Inc..  A bigger problem is that despite my most aggressive research, I was unable to find the game as being sold by PC Treasures, Inc.  Not even my old standby - The Wayback Machine - was able to solve this crisis, so now I will provide visual proof.

Note that the box appears identical to the original 1996 version, though what you can't see is this box is very thin, "budget-style."

The back of the box also looks the same, though you can see the PC Treasures, Inc. "tramp stamp."  Note the copyright is the 1996 - the original release.

The writing around the edge of the disc (it's a little hard to see) shows the actual copyright: 2004, the date of the re-release.  This, combined with the fact that PC Treasure's Inc. simply licenses and redistributes old software for a limited time, is why I included Sierra as the co-publisher.


Hope this helps.

For the effort alone, I made sure it got reviewed and approved immediately. Thanks!
