Condition Note:
This software collection is pre-owned and vintage. The outer cardboard big box shows minor shelf wear and light edge softening expected for a 25+ year old cardboard package, but it retains great color and structure. The inner manuals, jewel cases, and insert cards are clean and free of heavy creasing or writing. All compact discs and the 3.5" floppy diskette are visually in very good cosmetic condition. Software media is sold as-is and untested due to age. Please inspect all high-resolution photos to view the exact items and condition details.
