And Macadam Bumper was also the first Ere Informatique game I ever played! 😀
The only other game I’ve had in this format was Crafton & Xunk ❤️

I'm really glad I found this edition of Macadam Bumper 🥰
It was the first pinball game I ever played. I had the original game on Amstrad CPC. Later, I played a cracked version on Atari ST.

Here are some photos of the 15-cm sarcophagus with the sword resting on top. The sword is magnetic. It can be stored in the sarcophagus.
If you'd like to see photos of other items, feel free to ask!

A close-up view of the George Stobbart figurine and the USB-C drive 🔍
Even though the face looks different, it’s actually quite well done!
(the figurine is 10 cm tall)

After waiting for over a year and a half, I almost didn't dare to hope for it.
I finally received my collector's edition of Broken Sword Reforged 😀
The box is huge!

after 15 years of waiting for a copy i could afford, i finally have an original copy of an underrated graphical adventure: Inherit The Earth - Quest for the Orb.
this is one of those strange games that gets dismissed by adventure gamers because it never cleanly fits into established genres. the mix of traditional 2d side-view art and isometric tile-based adventuring is in itself unique to this game. it pays off with a strong world/setting, and a surprisingly interesting final chapter.
you really get the feeling that the team *cared* about this project, and wanted you to enjoy what they made. because of this, the originality and authenticity more than make up for the (at times) uneven craftsmanship.
April Lee's ink illustrations in the manual were a welcome surprise. you might recognize her work from card games like Warhammer and MTG. less well known is that she was a staff artist at New World Computing, on several Might & Magic games, including HoMM. and then also did contract work for the Dreamers Guild.
best of all, one of the Dreamers Guild founders - Joe - continues to support the game with patches and new versions for Mac/Windows/Linux every year:
