lol, and now buddies will track down the buyer and pay him 10x the price

 

As for the box, looks kind of tacky but def. interesting and a very nice find. Would be nice to know more about why it was made and if BL was ever actually intended to be distributed separately.

I mailed it off tonight. Prior to that I did compare it to the released. The one explosion screen shot was added on the back all others matched. There are 2 sets of numbers on the left and right bottom corners. Those numbers were close but were different. Not sure what those numbers mean but it might have had something to do with a seperate release? I dunno.

From what I can make out in the picture, other differences include a "Teen" front logo and back description and a 1or2 player logo that looks much different than the usual one (IIRC the release version was only 1 player). Brings up alot of questions; I'm guessing that the artists simply hadn't actually played the game though, lol.

This came from a company employee not from a retail store. When a project was in development a box would sometimes be thrown together to pitch the project. From my understanding that is all this was. Not sure if that makes it a better or a worse collectable to you guys but it was created prior to production before code was complete. It was just a placeholder.
