I still have games in their original shrink wrap that I bought in the
90s. Hell, I have something called Echelon that looks like it came out
in the freaking 80s sitting on my shelf still shrink wrapped.

There were (at least) three games called "Echelon". One, from access,
was released in 1987 (the box is largely in shades of blue and black).
A second came out in 1998; it was a strategy game from Midas
Interactive. It's box is largely red. A third, released by Bethesda in
2001, features a box whose primary colors are blue and gold(ish).

I rather enjoyed the third, even if it was a buggy, Euro-jank mess.
The first was a bit too old-school for me (argg! PC-speaker sound!).
And I never even heard about the middle, second game until I started
writing this post.

So which box you got? Blue, red or gold?

     I'm opening it. Ripping the wrapping off is half the fun!]
