posteda neat 1993 Privateer advertisement from Computer magazine. We've shown it off
before, or so I thought, so I almost passed it by. It is a little bit sharper than the one we have in the archive though, so I decided to take a second look. Upon closer inspection, tiny little differences started to emerge. This one is listed as "Circle Reader Service Number 248" instead of Circle Reader Service #94." The text indicating the game was "Available at a software retailer near you" and that it's "A stand alone game made in the USA" were conspicuously missing. One word of the actual ad text is also different: enemies "
alsowant your cargo" rather than "want your cargo
too." Last, but not least, the word
Privateeris no longer italicized before the awesome quote,
"Where deals are made with a handshake and broken by the volley from a Meson cannon."Pretty neat!
