Empire of the Overmind
by Avalon Hill
(Tan box with wizard / princess cover art)
I've come across two very different package variations for this early
parser adventure:
In this version, which I call the "tan" box, the game comes on
cassette, with multiple systems included on a single tape. (Avalon
Hill's games were relatively small and compact, since the game
engine wasn't very extensive.)
The "Rhyme of the Overmind" prop is identical in both versions, but I've
got the instruction manual in two different sizes: a tall, narrow version
and a more standard 8" x 5" booklet.
Avalon Hill's GFS Sorceress and Lords of Karma were sold
sold as both disk and cassette versions as well, but the only difference
with these is the back of the box, which has a picture of a diskette or
tape, as appropriate. The front cover art is the same in both cases.
Ripper may have been disk format only.
