Here we have an old-school big box edition of the brilliant new graphic adventure 'Thimbleweed Park', a game which trades on its developers shared history at Lucasarts where they put together what are considered by most people to be some of the finest of the graphic adventure genre.
The game itself is a colourful update of classic late 80s early 90s graphic adventures like Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island. The beautiful thing for fans of those games is that Ron Gilbert(creator of MI series co-creator of MM), David Fox(Zak McKracken), Gary Winnick(co-creator of MM) are all on board for this. The game has a lot of humour and brings you right back to those times and features plenty of in-jokes.
As well as the game you get a Floppy Disk (sprite sheets on it). You get a map of TWP, A Newspaper, a Game Manual some Stickers and Post-It notes (Specs of Dust).
This collection is a wonderful thing to behold- it feels looks & is just like an old style big box, only this is packed with goodies unlike the old days where you just got the disks and manual.
I'm seriously considering buying another copy to keep the one I have and just put it on my shelf.
I only have two games still in shrink-wrap and it will look great on my shelf!
The thing is none of these goodies would mean a thing if the game was not up to scratch but the game is fantastic and well worth your time and money (about 20 hours play time) this collectors edition just puts icing on the retro cake.
Awesome
