Gallery of Witchaven box/jewel case/CD cover art

I've recently updated my site, now including a bunch of images taken from various Witchaven releases I've collected, which can be seen towards the bottom of this page:

Nice collection of CD's.

Did you happen to have the box for the '3 Level Interactive Preview'?

I'm not at all rubbing it in your face I was wondering however.
I don't have it either, but have a small image of it on my WH page. (I did have a large image of it but since deleted it, I'm sure its on a backup perhaps)

I'm pretty sure that Lasersoft was a Europe release only, and must have came out a year or more after the game was released.

I wasn't aware that it had a boxed release, so no; just the jewel case as seen.

I'm not sure as to whether it was a Europe-only release or not; the Lasersoft logo is suspiciously identical to the logo of Laser Magic that made the Doom Companion Edition and Demon Gate discs for Doom so I'm not sure if it's a case of US/Europe divisions of the same company or what the relation between the two is.

It wouldn't be the only example of a company of this type using more than one name, like with Micro Star / Crystal Vision.

Europe Release; Perhaps its not ,as it has a RSAC Advisory label on it. I guess that rating is a US origin.

Yeah, I also got to thinking that the coupon being in a dollar value would be odd for a European release.

Brilliant! I have WH 2 big box and the softkey compilation, but I can't get my emulators to work with the cd detection routine, the demos run ok with Virtual PC 2007

Which CD routine are you speaking of?
Which game?

I've expanded the gallery some with a few new acquisitions (and additional pictures from the previous sets, like manual covers).

If you use DOSBox then "mount d <path to your cdrom drive> -t cdrom" should work. (Omitting the -t cdrom part could trip things up)
You can also rip the disc to an ISO and then "imgmount d <path to your ISO> -t iso" instead, which is nice if you want to set up a custom config that automatically mounts stuff and runs the game for you.
For other emulators... I dunno. In EGwhaven I disabled the CD check routine. Some of the official WH1 patches do that also. I believe that the "Witchaven Dehacker" tool can also accomplish that.
