Box version added on Kickstarter! Kickstarter Adventure will be enhanced by exclusive box version
The Kickstarter project 'Nelson and the Magic Cauldron' by Manuel Schenk Games will be enhanced by a exclusive box version by Letterjazz. But it can only be purchased unitl the 26th of december, when the campagne will end.
Box versions are classic packages of computer games during the 80s (and 90s). In this golden age of roleplaying and adventure games the games where sold in a wunderful printed box including printed handbooks, maps and much more - next to a pile of discs for the game itself. Even opening the box should transport the athmosphere of the game.
The box of the game 'Nelson and the Magic Cauldron' will have a wunderful printed and stamped surface. It will include a map, some special game cards and probably some secret surprises. The game itself will be on a stylish USB stick.
The game is already successfully funded on Kickstarter. Many adventure fans asked for a box version, so now is the time to reveal it. "A normal box version can be produced by many people, but a box of this quality can only done by letterjazz. The classic printing machines fit perfect for a classic point & click adventure", says Schenk.
Happy Gaming!
