Display MoreSome wonderful soul uploaded an entire beautifully preserved Computer Shopper to the Internet Archive! Shall we take a moment to... shop for Origin games like it's 1994?! Let's see what we can find...
Hi-Tech USA has a Wing Commander / Ultima VI CD-ROM for just $18! This would've be an OEM copy published by Software Toolworks, which worked out a deal with pre-EA Origin to offset development costs on three CD-ROM games in exchange for rights to release OEM versions.
Hardware bundler Media Vision has a bespoke multmedia kit that comes with Ultima Underworld and Wing Commander II. EA developed this release and licensed it to a LOT of early PC and addon manufacturers. It doesn't include the Wing Commander II expansions!
Treasure Chest Peripherals is taking first generation OEM CD-ROMs and bundling them together for big bucks! $89 will get you the Software Toolworks Wing Commander Deluxe CD-ROM and a couple other excellent games.
MultiMedia Direct has the Ultima VI/Wing Commander CD-ROM for $29... better get it at that first place!
But the folks at Discount Micro have it for just $14! They also have a Wing Commander I and II CD-ROM, which would've been this 1994 retail bundle release from Origin.
Vektron International has also created their own 'Game Pack' out of cheap OEM releases including Ultima VI/Wing Commander... $100 is highway robbery! I could sure go for a game of Stellar 7, though...
MultiMedia Perfection will give you $20 off your Ultima VI/Wing Commander purchase if you bundle it with a CD-ROM drive!
ComputAbility has a whole range of Origin products including Academy, Privateer and half a dozen addon disks!
Raceway Computers has the retail version of Strike Commander CD-ROM! Full speech, people, don't sleep on this update.
Multimedia Super Source (are you detecting a trend?) has the OEM versions of U6/WC and Ultima 1-6, plus the retail versions of Strike Commander, UW/WC2, Ultima Underworld 1 & 2 and Wing Commander II Deluxe.
Free Spirit Software has got the retail copies of Strike Commander, Wing Commander II Deluxe and Wing Commander II/Ultima Underworld. Plenty of pornography, too!
World-Net Microsystems has the OEM Wing Commander I Deluxe for $18.
And here's the Software Toolworks Ultima I-VI CD-ROM from... Best Buy?! Huh!
