Looking for Kilrathia Saga?

The big problem with Kilrathi Saga was that it was released at the wrong time -- it came out for Win9x before Win9x was the accepted standard... lots of people (myself included) bought it *only* for the manual -- presumably, people who weren't as obessive collectors didn't buy it at all.

Origin got burned because of this, because they put a lot of money and such into KS -- and they released it as a full new game, with manuals and everything instead of a piece of shovelware.

Further, it didn't work when it came out -- DirectX 2 and 3 just weren't stable enough to do the game properly. It's rather amazing that the later versions *do* run KS near perfectly...
 
My manual is bound with wire bindings, just like the calendar. My box is several thousand miles away, so I'm afraid I can't give you the UPC or EA code.

I bought this one in Singapore, BTW, and indeed it was printed in Singapore.

Exactly why I couldn't get it when it was released, cos I didn't even have Win95 at the time! And by the time I did, well, KS had long disappeared from the shelves... and that must've only been a few weeks later.
