Deadline
by Infocom
(Folio package)
The very first release of the Deadline folio looks quite different from later versions, open at both ends and openable from the front. The image is a bit cropped due to the size of my scanner, but you can see how the detective's picture protrudes into the gap left by a wraparound cover that doesn't go around all the way. The brown police folder is visible through the outer covering. On the back, only Zork I and II are mentioned, as they were the only other Infocom games available at the time. This places this version around the second quarter of 1982; Zork III and Starcross were released later that year.
