The Bird Sanctuary

Druid - Packaging

The disk versions for the C64 and Atari 8-bit versions of Druid included box copy on the back of the sleeve, which said:

As Last of the Great Druids, wander through the Dungeons of Acamantor with your mighty Golem by your side on a quest to destory the four demon princes. Firebird publishers of the UK's most exciting software challenge you to defy the forces of evil and attain the highest status in the holy order of Druids, Light Master!

Details

Druid was released in a double-cassette case for the tape versions and a slim black wallet for the C64 disc version.

The inlay was bright red, following on from the recently abandoned 'Hot!' range. There was no copy on the back of the cassette inlay to describe the game or show screenshots. Instead, the inlay opened up to include the instructions for the game.

Magazine adverts

The 8-bit Atari version of Druid failed to get a mention in the orginal advert.

The game was also licensed to Dexter Soft to produce an MSX 2 version for the Japanese market in 1988.
