It was given to me by a former Microsoft employee, who was one of the first few hundred in the door and was a multi-millionaire when she retired. She gamve this to me to try out before it ever went out."
Anyone have any more info on this sort of pressing? Again, I just don't know enough about PC stuff to determine the origin.
I normally shy away from this stuff, but The Neverhood is amazing and I just had to gamble on this one.
Thanks!
Well, at least the disc itself seems consistent with the fact that release copies of the box for the Neverhood have Microsoft authenticity hologram stickers on them. Having said that, Microsoft was only the distributor in the US, not the publisher which was Dreamworks. In any event, unless it has different content which a golden copy probably would not, I can't imagine it going for significant money. I have tons of similar discs for lots of 90s PC games and I'm not aware of much of a collector's market for them. Companies tended to press tons of these for everything from testing to press distribution to OEM partner sales pitches. This one might draw some interest because the game has a cult following and goes for good money mint and sealed, but again part of the attraction is the game box and disc artwork and this is just a CD-R with a printed sticker attached.
