Sucks about the shipping stupidity, but nice find on sealed with whatever that extra adapter is supposed to do.

Interesting adaptor, reminds me of the old PC Parallel Disney Sound Source Speaker that came with Roger Rabbit.

Speaking of Roger Rabbit, came across this:

I am not sure what the adapter is for, but yeah, I thought it was cool. :D I'll have to google it. 8)

The seller had used a stock photo so I thought the adapter would just be inside the main box, I did not know it was two boxes sealed together.

I do not collect sealed games but when that is the way I find them I get them anyhow. I like to see the all the stuff that came with older games but I cannot bring myself to open them. No point since I usually cannot play the game as it comes...I do not have floppy drives.

Edit: Looks like an Atari joystick which can be used in place of a mouse and a speaker can plug into it. This game must have been released around the time mice were just becoming popular I guess. The back of the box says the adapter is used to output 8 bit digital sound.

Looks like it is that Sound Source adaptor. A Covox one.

Joystick digital adapter in place of newer sound card analog PC Joystick adaptor.

It does seem to perform the same function as that Disney one.

Found a better pic, have this VGA game (The white box edition) with speaker somewhere in the washroom.

Been many years since I played it. I think it did have a red book or code wheel like the game Out of this World. I do remember the soundblaster not supporting the voices, only music. Only the Sound Source would pick up Roger in that old Disney game.

Octopod, you could use any amplified speaker with your game. The "Sound Card" is in that plug and PC programming.

Are you talking a code wheel like the ones used for the Gold Box games? That primitive DRM was a lot better than the new stuff, huh?

I would love to be able to play some of the old stuff that I have on a older computer with floppy drives and all but that is not happening anytime soon. I have been sort of looking for a Commodore 64 off and on though.

BTW CRTGAMER, that Roger Rabbit game looks great.
