Package Contents
The Slash version includes an envelope containing the manual, IBM and Compatibles Data Card, three 3 1/2" disks, and may or may not include a Slash registration card. The Slash version can be distinguished from the original Strategic Simulations version by these characteristics:
- Both versions comes in the Strategic Simulations printed setup box.
- The Strategic Simulations version has a system requirements label on the the lower left front corner of the box wrapping to the left spine of the box. The Slash version has no system requirements label.
- The quality of the contents inside the Slash package are of lower quality than the original Strategic Simulations release.
- The disk labels on the Slash version are laser printed on white labels.
- The Slash has the original Strategic Simulations printed manual, although the box is absent of typical SSI collateral material such as a product catalog.
