Default Obtaining the hard copy of the game with full box, manual etc

Hi all,

20 years ago when I bought the game, my parents stole the box and everything and destroyed it.

There no longer seems to be a way to obtain the game in the box. I see some used copies on Amazon but I'm not sure of those.

I know there is no answer to this but I just wanted to show that there is still someone willing to buy a new copy of the game in the box. I would buy two copies, one NRFB and one to play.

Cheers

Mustang

The boxed CD version was discontinued several years ago, it (physical box, "geting started" printed manual and CDROM) was expensive to make, store and assemble and also it was rather pricey to ship to those customers based outside of the USA.

Plus those outside the USA sometimes got hit with a dose of VAT or some other form of import tax depending on where they lived.

There is only the electronic extended version available now.

It was a cool box, if you published a image of the box design I would make my own.

Contact Shrapnel, they are the producers and so may have an image - I havent ever seen or held the physical product.

If everyone agrees I will also offer a copy of the box for sale, without the cd of course.
