Hi guys. I've just bought a boxed version of Thief: the Dark Project, obviously an used item. Do you know any method on how I could verify if this is in fact an original release of the game? The seller described it as a premier version.
Or, do we have any list of most important releases and the looks of CDs and covers?
Thanks,
Konrad

By Premier Version, I think you mean Premier Collection, which was a repackaging from Eidos at the time. It was to sell the games at a lower price, and it was easier to find these in France than the original version. I think the Premier Collection was specific to Europe but I'm not sure.
The original thief games in Premier Collection were in big box format, as well as tomb raider 1 & 2. A lot more games were in the collection, such as Deus Ex, Hitman or Project IGI, but I don't know if these were released in big box format or simple dvd cases.

Thanks for replies. Not sure if this has anything in common with premier whatsoever. No "premier" word on the entire box. Here is what I've got:

Not a trapezoid, I made these pictures from an angle.

The EAN code appears to be real (but could also have been copy pasted)

Thief has had a lot of releases. I got one from Twinpack myself which contains Thief 1 & 2.

I'm planning to buy some more boxes soon and for some reasons I need to know a little details about the box itself. Now I know the country and how to verify which of them at least appear to be legit from the EAN code. Thx!
