Title: Captain Blood boxes
Post by: Gryzor on 14:13, 13 September 11
I remember buying this, and it was in a vinyl-like case: big, rectangular and very thin. But I haven't seen it anywhere online as far as I can remember... anyone knows what I'm talking about?

Mmm... I've only seen the spanish tape version, wich came in a double jewel-case.

Nope, this is a normal, large carton box type. Imagine a vinyl disc case, although a bit smaller.

Are you sure that it's not the first cover that appears in CPC Power (http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&onglet=jaquette&num=2)?  ;)

I have attached a "funny" video with the sacrifice of the CPC used in the creation of Captain Blood ;D

THe first or the fourth? I seem to remember it opening like that - like a double vinyl album, and the disks were in one of the 'covers' which was like an envelope... Ah, I'd surely love to have one of these!

The installation in the video is amazing!!! Is Ulrich held in such high regard??

But, breaking old computers... can't understand this.

Yeah, the installation is fantastic, i want one :D

With respect to Ulrich, i always have had in high regard the work from the people of Ere/Exxos/Cryo.

In this moment, Ulrich & Bouchon are behind Captain Blood Legacy (http://captainbloodlegacy.blogspot.com/), a remake of Captain Blood, and the snapshots looks great  :D

In those wonder years, the CPC was new and easy to find... and for a god you need to sacriface something valuable, use an msx instead, and the wrath of god will fall upon us xDDDD

Come on people, don't take it so seriously people with green hair hammering a CPC... its the spirit of the 80s  :P

Post by: Gryzor on 11:24, 14 September 11
Nah, the spirit of the 80s was taking the CPC to bed with you.

@Markus, this looks like a CD sleeve, right?

Yes but it's much larger! 23x23cm!
Like a maxi-single ;)

Oooh yeah, that's the one, baby (not you, Markus or Bryce)!!!

I wonder for how much it usually goes. Not exactly in the most prosperous period right now...

But, oh, "Versand nach: Deutschland" :(

You can call me baby if it makes you happy :D

If you let me know your limit, I can bid on it for you. Or bid yourself and give them my address for delivery.

Well, the thing is, calling you baby won't make me happy. No offense meant, I'm sure you're a sweet and caring guy But I'm going for something more... bouncy. I wonder how you got that idea. Was it the "shower" incident?

Ah, ok then, I'll email you. Thanks tons :)
