A closer look reveals...
The
Immortal, full package: Box, manual, cart, official hint book
Sword
of Vermilion, full package: Box, manual, cart, official hint book
Crusader
of Centy, full package: Box, manual, cart, official hint book
Though
The Immortal itself, complete, is a rare enough thing, but having the
actual mail-in only official hint book puts it through the roof. It was
only available if you bought it through the mail-in card in the game box.
The hint book is pretty cool, it's written from the wizard's, that you
control, point of view. He goes all the way through the dungeon, solving
the puzzles, thus helping you solve them in the game, talks to the other
characters, etc. It's a very well written book.
Though
upon its release, the option was given to buy the hint book(then,
shrinkwrapped
to the back of the box) with the game, most people felt the $10 increase
in price wasn't worth it. I bought the hint book(I think it was
$3), alone,
from a guy a long, long time ago, just to have it in case I ever bought
the game. Found the game a couple of months ago, complete, except
for
the hint book, for $5! Now I have it all...
Ah,
the already hard to find Crusader of Centy, coupled with the
extremely
hard to find official hint book. The game is fucking great, even if it
is a "Zelda 3 clone"! One piece of advice, though the hint book
is a pretty
rare thing to find, it's not worth your time. It's almost pure text,
with very few maps and pics...and it's in black and white! Ugh!
