Hi All!

My baby (collection) that I started a while ago is a collection of all of the PC/DOS/Apple/Amiga, etc. games that come in unique or oddly shaped packaging. Such example is Ultrabots robot legs box, Suspended face in a box, Day of the Tentacle triangle box, and the Eidos hexagon shaped boxes. I know there are a bunch of games on my list that are a very rare tall order, but alas, here they are:

Hi, I have a copy of 7th Guest Limited edition with the VHS, though I have to check if it's a french or UK/US version.

EDIT: It's a UK version, in relatively bad shape but maybe salvageable, I'll send it to you just for the shipping cost. PM sent.

Thanks for the reply - is your copy the special edition with VHS:

Or the one I am looking for - the limited edition:

The Limited Edition looks like and open up like a book, whereas the special edition with VHS is the normal box. Thanks!!

It's that one, though from a quick search and your pictures it's missing some king of sleeve.
