Original Box Design for Destructor

[NIAD]

Here is another box design of Coleco's that varies from the final release... this time it is Destructor.

 

As with "The Dukes of Hazard", this early box design varies greatly from the final release. It uses the large CV&ADAM Splash info area instead of the diagonal Info Bar and again it does not mention anything about being for use with the Expansion Module #02.

 

Funny thing in this case is that the French/Canadian cartridge label WAS released using the artwork from this box design, but the box used the blue text artwork from the U.S. final release.

I had never seen these pictures. Thank you for sharing. Where are they from ?

These could be proof that designers and coders basically worked on games and then coleco brass would come along and go I want this to be one of the games that you need the expansion 2 for and then they would have to adjust.

I think they came from the Coleco Electronics 1984 Catalog that may have been distributed only at Toy Fairs OR it was from the one of the Coleco Calendars. These pics were sent to me by a former Coleco collector and I have one more (unfortunately only one more) to share with everyone later today when I have some time.

 

Either way, I tried desparately to acquire these items, but to no avail, and all I have are these pics , but that's still better then nothing.
