Title: Russian Titan Quest Gold box (unreleased?)
Post by: Prosoro on 15 January 2019, 10:43:14: Maybe there's some TQ members here that can answer this for me..

During my usual searching sessions on the vast internets for all things TQ related I came across this unique Gold Edition box cover which, according to Mobygames, was only released for retail in Russia.

But then again perhaps it wasn't? And (much to my disappointment) I can't seem to find it anywhere else, including of course any of the online trading sites (ebay/amazon etc) listing this version.

This leads me to believe that it was a potential prototype or concept cover for the Gold Edition that for whatever reason wasn't used ....unless someone has it??! (please post pics if so ;)) In any case it's a real nice cover with the Greek marble ^^ Hope someone here can confirm the story behind it.

Torrent trackers eh, so as in only downloadable with the torrent showing this image? But still no sign of a physical boxed copy..? :-\

Post by: mammoth_hunter on 17 January 2019, 10:52:40: Unfortunately I stopped using trackers several years ago and the one in question (free-torrents.org) does not exist anymore indeed. But if there were disc images, there was a disc they were made from.

...

Found it on rutracker. But it looks like my account was deleted for inactivity. I only see one image in the post, maybe there are more in the files there

Post by: Prosoro on 24 January 2019, 12:35:00: Hey Malgardian, yeah that's also the same edition I own as well. Guess it likely is just a 'promo cover' or concept that Iron Lore/THQ never used..
