I was waiting for this event to show you my copy I received last month 😀

It's the first edition, recognizable thanks to the illustration and the title "Virtual Dreams" 💫

I think it was only released in Europe.

The news are bad in Louisiana on this Thursday, August 25, 1924! 📰

Here's the front and back of "The Mystery Examiner" newspaper (8 pages)

I really like the illustration on the back! 😍

Finally, here's the tiny copy protection booklet that is barely bigger than a paper clip! 📘📎

It's 256 pages long! And on each of these pages, you can see the two objects you have to select on the screen 🔍

After selling it back a few years ago (2015) with no regrets, I finally bought back this nice French compilation of the first two Dune 🌌✨

So I own again the Amiga and PC versions of the two games 🥳
