When I got my manual, a couple of the pages' corners were ripped off, and what was supposed to be the corner was stuck in the middle of the book... I had to tape it on

and all of my manual's pages look a little like this:

Code: [Select]
------
      \-------------

(that being the top right corner of the pages)

If you ever get misprinted money, keep it!  It is worth so much more because of all the precautions they take to make sure that doesn't happen.

It wasn't misprinted (the words and everything were all correct apart from the typo's everyone knows about (The "yourr" in the front of the book where it talks about firewalls)) but the machine that cuts the paper to staple them together into the book form, screwed it up.

The box was also a grey/silver color.

One of my manual pages has the pictures upside-down.
I think all of them are like that. It's the page with the microwave right?

Oh the back of my box, I remember it had 2 paragraphs from the leaders of Eden and Plymouth both. The paragraphs were anger at the rival colony. The Eden one was computerized text, the Plymouth counterpart was in cursive handwriting.

That's how my friends looked (I've been playing on a burned copy for about 5 and a half years now....but I recently bought the game for myself) and that's how mine looks that's on the way. I too have never seen the all black cover....maybe a made up picture?
