Strike Commander (jewel case and CD review)

Strike Commander, comes on a double CD jewel case for MS-DOS 5 or higher.

The CD has the color grey, with no numbers regarding how many CDs are.

The double CD jewel case is made of grey plastic, with the front and back, transparent.

 

Beside some numbers, the CD have written on, two IFPI. They are the same. I : 0 is embosed as dots.

_ Mastered BY NIMBUS is like a easter egg, because of the _ in front.

 On the CD back, they are written on reverse.

The CD jewel case have vertical ridges on top and lower part and in another vertical places.

When you open the case, on the left there is a space for a cd (my case came with CD with some game demos
that didn't belonged there).
The middle front and back of it has a hole not made for any CD to be hold there.

There are two transparent dents that have white material under them. Maybe white paper.

 

 

On the middle back there are two bumps. It is for the game extras (written pages).

On the final back of the case there is a space for a second CD, but acording to Mobygames and other proof on Ebay,
only a CD exist for the game.
My CD resides on the final back of the case.
The Poland version has different writings and images on the back cover, than France, Germany and United Kingdom
has.
The front of the CD jewel case is in english language.

The back of the CD jewel case is in France, Germany and United Kingdom language.
I have a purple sticker on the back of the CD cover. The purple sticker has a rectangle, circle and piramid shape
made of white lines with the blue sticker background and ELECTRONIC ARTS written on it.
Behind the sticker put on paper (see Mobygames link, there without the sticker) there is a text, Made in the E.C. and age requiments.

Next, in this series, Wing Commander Privateer, regardless if i post something else in between.

Do you know that ... (part 1)

Wing Commander Heart of the Tiger (jewel case and CD review)

 

The front, middle and back of the CD-s jewel case.

Al CD-s open either way.

On all four cd-roms it is written EIN CHRIS ROBERTS SPIEL.

As they are CDs, on them it is written Diskette 1, Diskette 2, but they are not. This is odd. The CDs light rainbow effect is on the CDs photos.

The same photos are under different colors.

All black CD jewel cases are glued on carboard pieces that present themself with black rectangular boarders.

The cardboard pieces are glued themselfs to the main long slim cardboard, but with a different glue, not silicon.

The manufacturer is (under the second and third CDs, repeated two times, upside down) :

DIGIPAK ® Manuf. By J. Upton, England 021 692 1171, as licenced by AGI USA

Beside some numbers, the CDs have written on them a sign and DADC AUSTRIA

Every CD jewel cases have on theyr right two small round bumps, maybe from the molds, here showned with the red lines i added.

The four corners help with lifting the CDs easy, than the usual way.

I don't always have acces to a PC and it takes some time to post.

Next, in this series, Strike Commander, regardless if i post something else in between.
