Let me get this straight... it was factory sealed, and you opened it? Shocked

Yes it was.

I can only explain it through an illustration. Some people are happy to see a racecar in a museum, whilst one could say it's true place is on the track and seeing and hearing it scream by, rather then having it collect dust.

Same with this, it should be documented, tested, for people to see, and enjoyed of course.

If it was documented somewhere else, I might have considered leaving it sealed.

Boxed cards like yours, well you know what's in it because of others, and you can have a spare card to play around with, so it's more logical to leave a box sealed. Not so with this one I'm afraid.

Glad to see the thing breathing again! Thanks for your understanding! I wish I had two though! One sealed, one to play with. Oh well, that's highly improbable.

Most people probably never seen this card retail and there aren't any pictures anywhere else.
So, seeing all the things in this box is much more interesting for your site visitors, than a sealed box.

It would be very interesting, if you could mace some videos of running games on this Card! Grin

Especially Flight Unlimited had very good textures for it's time...

That would be something absolute exclusive on your site, like the videos to your pyramid 3D. Wink

Thanks! I thought you might like it. Wink

I agree, that would be very cool, I've got so little free time though. Sad

Oh ps. Flight Simulator was such an excellent, pretty game back then, and still is. Very impressive, played it to bits.

Well as you can see the cards are not very different from each other so the NFR/Prototype tag was the only interesting thing about it. More intresting I find to be the other member of the Gloria family Gloria XL & XXL Gloria M & L
