The unforgettable cover of Steve Burcell will be the great claim to attract players

Limited Run has announced its next sale: neither more nor less than The Secret of the Monkey Island in its Mega CD version, on February 28 in two batches: at 10 am and 6 pm on the East Coast (4 hours) in the afternoon of 28 and 12 at night of 29 in Madrid). This is an opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic covers of the video game – as well as one of the best graphic adventures of all time for those with their Mega Drive and Mega CD and functioning.

The reissue comes in two editions, a simpler one that reproduces the elongated boxes with which the Sega CD games in the USA were released. The other is a collector's edition with a large box and several extras, art cards, certificate of authenticity and a price of $ 74.99. The original boxes of the game in its different versions are sold at high prices in the second-hand market, generally above € 100 (and € 200) so it is easy to anticipate that there will be a lot of competition to be done with this edition.

Rediating old glories

Limited Run's specialty is based on physical formatting of indie games that, under normal conditions, would remain as exclusively digital. With this they offer service to those who do not fill them having a game in a digital bookstore, and to those who want to have a title that they already have, but in physical, for the satisfaction of having it or for rewarding what they have enjoyed. But in recent times, the company has also found a reef reissuing new physical versions of classic games, something that raises a lot of expectation and that usually leads to fleeting sales in which you have to be from the first minute to have hopes of getting a copy – they are also, unfortunately, a real feast for speculators, who take advantage of limited stocks to try to make easy profits over time.
