Something tells me that design is a bit... specious as to originality. Particularly the "Best" with an extra 'e'.;)

looks cool albeit the misspellage, not a "real" cover though IMO

Yeah, looks nice.
 
Though it's photoshopped or so.

what is this dimension pack thing, was there an expantion we never heard about in the works
or is this just a fake

Volition would never just use the same box cover with a bit of cluttered extras for an expansion. I dont know what that is, but who cares.

edit.. juse?... =just

:wtf: an expantion


I wish there were an expantion though. Although it does look little more spatious, they did a good job, hell I give 10 thumbs up.

it seems this isn't a hoax... there was a mention of it on gamespot.de somewhere (can't read it though :p) Strangely no one ever mentioned it here and we have plenty of europeans here....  (it's also possible it's some screup of the goty, with all the award thingies on the box)

No, many sites gave awards to FS2. Like best space/combat sim of the year/month etc...

Hmm, it just might be SOTYE/gold edition with blah... but probably fake.

Post by: Nico on August 29, 2002, 07:45:56 am
Avalon...? might  be an "unoficial" version of FS2 with lots of maps gathered from the net, I've seen stuff like that already. Of course that's illegal.
" mant HLP freders are fainting"
Probably it's not that anyway.

I think I saw that box in the [V] offices....not sure.  Its just some package deal.

Eh, it's not too likely that anyone's gonna try to sell a freeware game. Though I'm not sure how much it's gotten outside of HLP that FS IS freeware.
Title: I found this Picture online about FS2...
Post by: CP5670 on August 29, 2002, 12:24:15 pm
Now I am really confused...so what exactly is this thing? And if it is simply a cleverly edited image, why was it made?

1)
This is the german version of the FS2 with an extra campain. I have got it and also the box. If my scanner would work I would show you a pic of it.
2)
Beste = best, look at a dictionary near you.
3)
What is the other country boxes look like? Many of you thing that this is a fake, so you must have an other cover then we have. Please show me.

I have never watched this show in my life, so I guess the same could be said for me. :D

The box looks similar with the Deimos and the beam but the scene is in a gray nebula instead, there is no GTVA sign and it doesn't say anything about a "dimension pack." I cannot find a picture of it at the moment but I have seen pictures of the box and CD case several times on ebay items; you might be able to look at one there.

I guess Templar... I have gold edition and it has Templar too. :) And then some standalone missions.
 
Edit: As for The Simpsons, I haven't watched it for a while. Not that good, in my opinion.
