Description
This is the original marketing material for Wayne Gretzky Hockey. The game itself is not included. A cover letter by Wayne Gretzky (probably a facsimile, not an original signature), the advertising brochure, and a letter from the then president of Bethesda Softworks. For the collector, a peek into the past of PC gaming. This is the actual brochure I received in the late 1980's.This is a unique marketing ploy that Bethesda used to sell the hockey game. I haven't seen any of the other computer game sports franchises initially marketed using a letter from the sports personality him/herself. Marketing is a little bit more sophisticated now, less personal, much more flashy. A throwback to when the nascent PC game industry was still finding its legs.
Wayne Gretzky Hockey was the first hockey game/simulation available on the IBM PC personal computers.
