content	sioc:content	[The following is a complete documentation of all ephemera encased within the Nintendo Dual Screen (NDS) re-release of Chrono Trigger. Discrepancies and similarities between physical materials such as guide books, manuals, posters, storage media, and media containers, along with trends — especially between the various video game iterations — will be discussed. Beside each description is a high-quality image of the document in question.] General Comments about the Packaging for the Nintendo DS re-release of Chrono Trigger The first-run copies of the NDS iteration of Chrono Trigger are indicated by a sticker on the front of the packaged shrink wrap. These stickers indicate that they come packaged with a limited-edition poster — which is the same poster found packaged in the original Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) release. Other copies released after this initial point, retracted the limited-edition poster and, as such, it is a unique artifact. About the Version Used in this Project Thanks to Greg Philbrook's donation, a first-run copy (which includes the limited-edition poster) of the artifact was utilized for the traversal, interview, and further examination of the NDS re-release. This complete artifact was important for the player for the purpose of reviewing game mechanics and controls, as well as gaining a more in-depth knowledge of this iteration as a whole. It was made known to the player which version this was, and the history and culture intrinsically attached to it. Nintendo DS Box Contents ▹ One Nintendo DS Game Card ▹ One instruction booklet ▹ One one-sided complimentary poster Nintendo DS Box, Front The box features artwork from the original SNES release of Chrono Trigger (that is also present in the form of a companion poster for both releases). Below is the publisher's logo "SQUARE ENIX" and the ESRB rating "E10+" (Everyone 10+) — which is noticeable because of the rating's distinction between the first two iterations. These ratings were "K-A" (Kids to Adults 6+) and "T" (Teen), respectively. Along the side of this box, is the NDS logo. Nintendo DS Box, Back The back liner reads: "The RPG of the Ages Returns. When a newly developed teleportation device malfunctions, young Crono must journey though time to rescue a mysterious girl from an intricate web of past and present perils. Enhanced with dual-screen presentation, stylus controls, and a host of great new features, the classic tale transcends time once again!" Two captions read: "Bonuses include brand-new dungeons and a multiplayer area," and "Timeless gameplay feels fresher than ever before!" Above each of these captions are images revealing the gameplay and dual-screen capability of the NDS. The images are, (from left to right) first a battle scene (with Ayla, Crono, and Frog) against Azala and her pet the Black Tyranno from the Prehistoric era, a scene of Marle, Lucca, and Robo in the Epoch, and lastly, artwork of Frog, Marle, and Crono is depicted. In the top right corner, an icon states that "Wireless DS Multi-Card Play" is an in-game function between two players and requires both players to own a copy of the video game. Below is an official Nintendo seal, a Nintendo logo, and a Square Enix logo. Lastly, the ESRB rating is specified further: (Everyone 10+, Animated Blood, Mild Fantasy Violence, Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol). Nintendo DS Game Card, Front The following is a standard Nintendo game card and measures at 1.4' x 1.3' x 0.2' in size with a weight of 3.5 grams. This game card reiterates information displayed on the box. Nintendo DS Game Card, Back The reverse of the game card is standard and blank. Nintendo DS Instruction Manual, Front The front cover is minimal in aesthetics, much like the PlayStation (PS) re-release instruction manual — with only the Chrono Trigger title logo present amidst a white background. Similar to the NDS box, the left side of the instructional manual is embellished with the NDS logo. Nintendo DS Instruction Manual, Back The reverse side is blank, except for the presense of detailed information pertaining to Square Enix, which reads: "SQUARE ENIX, www.square-enix.com, Published by Square Enix, Inc., 999 N. Sepulveda Blvd., 3rd Floor, El Segundo, CA 90245." Nintendo DS Instruction Manual, Contents When compared to the PS and SNES booklets, this manual stays true to the original SNES guide, utilizing the same table of contents imagery and character artwork (never depicting any of the cutscenes from the PS re-release). This manual is also far more colorful and vivid than the PS booklet, in a way reflecting the same atmosphere present in the original SNES instruction booklet. Although similar to the original in these aspects, this iteration is, by far, the most vague in its descriptions of events and characters, and only mentions a few of the items and tech moves featured in the game. There is also no walkthrough segment. These trends directly coincide with the abandonment of video game hint-lines as the Internet is an even greater repository for video game knowledge. Nintendo DS Poster Included inside the box, in conjunction with the manual, is a complimentary poster (an exact replica of one of the poster's featured in the SNES release — which has also been displayed on the front of the NDS Chrono Trigger box). Additional Nintendo DS Re-release Artifacts The following is a 2009 Japanese guide that was available to players at the time of Chrono Trigger's NDS re-release. A number of translations have been completed by members of the Chrono Compendium. It has been compiled in three Adobe PDF files down below. Please allow adequate time for the file to download. ▹ Chrono Trigger Ultimania Part 1 (2009) (pdf, 108 MB) ▹ Chrono Trigger Ultimania Part 2 (2009) (pdf, 50.2 MB) ▹ Chrono Trigger Ultimania Part 3 (2009) (pdf, 93.2 MB)

This complete artifact was important for the player for the purpose of reviewing game mechanics and controls, as well as gaining a more in-depth knowledge of this iteration as a whole. It was made known to the player which version this was, and the history and culture intrinsically attached to it. Nintendo DS Box Contents ▹ One Nintendo DS Game Card ▹ One instruction booklet ▹ One one-sided complimentary poster Nintendo DS Box, Front The box features artwork from the original SNES release of Chrono Trigger (that is also present in the form of a companion poster for both releases). Below is the publisher's logo "SQUARE ENIX" and the ESRB rating "E10+" (Everyone 10+) — which is noticeable because of the rating's distinction between the first two iterations. These ratings were "K-A" (Kids to Adults 6+) and "T" (Teen), respectively. Along the side of this box, is the NDS logo. Nintendo DS Box, Back The back liner reads: "The RPG of the Ages Returns. When a newly developed teleportation device malfunctions, young Crono must journey though time to rescue a mysterious girl from an intricate web of past and present perils. Enhanced with dual-screen presentation, stylus controls, and a host of great new features, the classic tale transcends time once again!" Two captions read: "Bonuses include brand-new dungeons and a multiplayer area," and "Timeless gameplay feels fresher than ever before!" Above each of these captions are images revealing the gameplay and dual-screen capability of the NDS. The images are, (from left to right) first a battle scene (with Ayla, Crono, and Frog) against Azala and her pet the Black Tyranno from the Prehistoric era, a scene of Marle, Lucca, and Robo in the Epoch, and lastly, artwork of Frog, Marle, and Crono is depicted. In the top right corner, an icon states that "Wireless DS Multi-Card Play" is an in-game function between two players and requires both players to own a copy of the video game. Below is an official Nintendo seal, a Nintendo logo, and a Square Enix logo. Lastly, the ESRB rating is specified further: (Everyone 10+, Animated Blood, Mild Fantasy Violence, Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol). Nintendo DS Game Card, Front The following is a standard Nintendo game card and measures at 1.4' x 1.3' x 0.2' in size with a weight of 3.5 grams. This game card reiterates information displayed on the box. Nintendo DS Game Card, Back The reverse of the game card is standard and blank. Nintendo DS Instruction Manual, Front The front cover is minimal in aesthetics, much like the PlayStation (PS) re-release instruction manual — with only the Chrono Trigger title logo present amidst a white background. Similar to the NDS box, the left side of the instructional manual is embellished with the NDS logo. Nintendo DS Instruction Manual, Back The reverse side is blank, except for the presense of detailed information pertaining to Square Enix, which reads: "SQUARE ENIX, www.square-enix.com, Published by Square Enix, Inc., 999 N. Sepulveda Blvd., 3rd Floor, El Segundo, CA 90245." Nintendo DS Instruction Manual, Contents When compared to the PS and SNES booklets, this manual stays true to the original SNES guide, utilizing the same table of contents imagery and character artwork (never depicting any of the cutscenes from the PS re-release). This manual is also far more colorful and vivid than the PS booklet, in a way reflecting the same atmosphere present in the original SNES instruction booklet. Although similar to the original in these aspects, this iteration is, by far, the most vague in its descriptions of events and characters, and only mentions a few of the items and tech moves featured in the game. There is also no walkthrough segment. These trends directly coincide with the abandonment of video game hint-lines as the Internet is an even greater repository for video game knowledge. Nintendo DS Poster Included inside the box, in conjunction with the manual, is a complimentary poster (an exact replica of one of the poster's featured in the SNES release — which has also been displayed on the front of the NDS Chrono Trigger box). Additional Nintendo DS Re-release Artifacts The following is a Japanese guide that was available to players at the time of Chrono Trigger's NDS re-release. A number of translations have been completed by members of the Chrono Compendium. It has been compiled in an Adobe PDF file down below. Please allow adequate time for the file to download. ▹ Chrono Trigger Ultimania (2009)

Nintendo DS Box Contents ▹ One Nintendo DS Game Card ▹ One instruction booklet ▹ One one-sided complimentary poster Nintendo DS Box, Front The box features artwork from the original SNES release of Chrono Trigger (that is also present is the form of a companion poster for both releases). Below is the publisher's logo "SQUARE ENIX" and the ESRB rating "EVERYONE 10+" – which is noticeable because of the rating's distinction between the first two iterations (which were "KIDS TO ADULTS 6+" and "TEEN," respectively). Along the side of this box, is the Nintendo DS logo. Nintendo DS Box, Back The back liner reads: "The RPG of the Ages Returns. When a newly developed teleportation device malfunctions, young Crono must journey though time to rescue a mysterious girl from an intricate web of past and present perils. Enhanced with dual-screen presentation, stylus controls, and a host of great new features, the classic tale transcends time once again!" Two captions read: "Bonuses include brand-new dungeons and a multiplayer area," and "Timeless gameplay feels fresher than ever before!" Above each of these captions are images revealing the gameplay and dual-screen capability of the Nintendo DS. The images are, (from left to right) first a battle scene – with Ayla, Crono, and Frog – against Azala and her pet the Black Tyranno from the Prehistoric Era, a scene of Marle, Lucca, and Robo in the Epoch, and lastly, artwork of Frog, Marle, and Crono is depicted. In the top right corner, an icon states that "Wireless DS Multi-Card Play" is an in-game function between two players and requires both to own a copy of the video game. Below is an official Nintendo seal, a Nintendo logo, and a Square Enix logo. Lastly, the ESRB rating is specified further: "EVERYONE 10+, Animated Blood, Mild Fantasy Violence, Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol." Nintendo DS Game Card, Front The following is a standard Nintendo game card and measures at 1.4' x 1.3' x 0.2' in size with a weight of 3.5 grams. This game card reiterates information displayed on the box. Nintendo DS Game Card, Back The reverse of the game card is standard and blank. Nintendo DS Instruction Manual, Front The font cover is minimal in aesthetics, much like the PlayStation re-release instruction manual – with only the Chrono Trigger title logo present amidst a white background. Similar to the Nintendo DS box, the left side of the instructional manual is embellished with the Nintendo DS logo. Nintendo DS Instruction Manual, Back The reverse side is blank, except for the presense of detailed information pertaining to Square Enix, which reads: "SQUARE ENIX ®, www.square-enix.com, Published by Square Enix, Inc., 999 N. Sepulveda Blvd., 3rd Floor, El Segundo, CA 90245." Nintendo DS Instruction Manual, Contents When compared to the PlayStation and SNES booklets, this manual is stays true to the original SNES guide, utilizing the same table of contents imagery and character artwork (never depicting any of the cutscenes from the PlayStation re-release). This manual is also far more colorful and vivid than the PlayStation booklet, in a way reflecting the same atmosphere present in the original SNES instruction booklet. Although similar to the original in these aspects, this iteration is by far the most vague in its descriptions of events and characters, and only mentions a few of the items and tech moves featured in the game. There is also no walkthrough segment. These trends directly coincide with the abandonment of video game hint-lines as the internet becomes an even greater repository for video game knowledge (for more information please see the Chrono Trigger SNES release). Nintendo DS Poster Included inside the box, in conjunction with the manual, is a complimentary poster (an exact replica of one of the poster's featured in the SNES release – which has also been displayed on the front of the Nintendo DS Chrono Trigger box). A comparison image of the two posters has been reproduced.

General introduction to Uncle Roger and instructions for interacting with "A Party in Woodside" 2. Introduction to "A Party in Woodside" with instruction for interacting with it 3. Introduction to "The Blue Notebook" with instructions for interacting with it 4. Introduction to "Terminals" with instructions for interacting with it One player's manual 1. "A Party in Woodside" 2. "The Blue Notebook" 3. "Terminals" Nintendo DS Box, Front The box features artwork from the original SNES release of Chrono Trigger (that is also present is the form of a companion poster for both releases). Below is the publisher's logo "SQUARE ENIX" and the ESRB rating "EVERYONE 10+" – which is noticeable because of the rating's distinction between the first two iterations (which were "KIDS TO ADULTS 6+" and "TEEN," respectively). Along the side of this box, is the Nintendo DS logo. Nintendo DS Box, Back The back liner reads: "The RPG of the Ages Returns. When a newly developed teleportation device malfunctions, young Crono must journey though time to rescue a mysterious girl from an intricate web of past and present perils. Enhanced with dual-screen presentation, stylus controls, and a host of great new features, the classic tale transcends time once again!" Two captions read: "Bonuses include brand-new dungeons and a multiplayer area," and "Timeless gameplay feels fresher than ever before!" Above each of these captions are images revealing the gameplay and dual-screen capability of the Nintendo DS. The images are, (from left to right) first a battle scene – with Ayla, Crono, and Frog – against Azala and her pet the Black Tyranno from the Prehistoric Era, a scene of Marle, Lucca, and Robo in the Epoch, and lastly, artwork of Frog, Marle, and Crono is depicted. In the top right corner, an icon states that "Wireless DS Multi-Card Play" is an in-game function between two players and requires both to own a copy of the video game. Below is an official Nintendo seal, a Nintendo logo, and a Square Enix logo. Lastly, the ESRB rating is specified further: "EVERYONE 10+, Animated Blood, Mild Fantasy Violence, Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol." Nintendo DS Game Card, Front The following is a standard Nintendo game card and measures at 1.4' x 1.3' x 0.2' in size with a weight of 3.5 grams. This game card reiterates information displayed on the box.

title	dcterms:title	Photos of the Folio, CD, and Flash Drive and Their Contents for Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl
description	dcterms:description	Photos of the folio, CD re-release, and flash drive re-release and their contents for Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl
content	sioc:content	This section of Pathfinders contains 23 images of Shelley Jackson's folio, CD, and flash drive ofPatchwork Girl. The photos detail the material aspect of the work and show the information that readers glean from its presentation. Folio Contents 1. Floppy disk, 3 1/2," both original folio and re-release version 2. Booklet 3. CD, .047" thick and 3.150" in diameter 4. Flash Drive, 2014 re-release 5. Registration card Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl, by Mary/Shelley and Herself was published in 1995 by Eastgate Systems as a 9-inch by 6-inch folio made of heavy card stock. When opened, the folio reveals a pocket on each side. The pocket on the left contains the 3.5-inch diskette of the work, along with a registration card. Diskettes were of "HD" capacity (either 720 kilobytes or 1.4 megabytes), formatted for Macintosh or Windows (MS-DOS), since at this point the two operating systems used exclusive data systems. A notation on the reverse of the folio (see image of Folio Back, below) indicates the operating system. There is no indication on the diskette itself. The pocket on the right side of the folio holds the back page of a 16-page booklet that gives directions for "Getting Started." The look of the folio with its front and back cover and interior paper contents resembles a book environment and, thus provided a breadcrumb leading readers from the world of print to the world of the digital where they were headed with electronic literature. Note that the folio has a minimal spine of about one-eighth inch, sufficient for main title of the work, author's name, and publisher's name, and so may be shelved like a book. A note on the verso of the folio credits Eric Cohen with "jacket design." Folio, Front The front of the folio shows a title page in the manner of a 19th-century novel such as Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus. Jackson's full title and description of the work is: "PATCHWORK GIRL, by Mary/Shelley and Herself, a graveyard, a journal, a quilt, a story, & broken accents." The list identifies the major sections of the hypertext. The author's name, Shelley Jackson, follows this list, separated by a decorative graphic. Below the main title is a collaged monochrome graphic, presumably created by Eric Cohen, assembled from four images of women in portrait pose, modified by various digital processes that evoke the allotropic "patchwork" process by which Jackson's title character -- and her text itself -- come together. The cover is rendered in black ink over a sepia background that resembles a photographically magnified page from an old book. The text, which may come from Frankenstein, appears in a type face that mimics antique handwriting. Folio, Back The back of the folio continues the book-like design motif, offering contents similar to the back of a traditional print publication. Text on the back of the folio is divided into two parts, upper and lower. The upper part is set off with decorative borders. The upper part begins with an endorsement by Michael Joyce, the first two lines set as headlines, the remainder as centered body text. Joyce's remarks read: "Hypertext's next step... PATCHWORK GIRL is spectacular in every sense (from Rayban to Debordian to Cirque du Soleil). It is embodied writing in the company of Helene Cixous, Carolyn Guyer, Jeannette Winterson, and its progenitor and co-author (the other Shelley) Mary. Jackson weaves aspects of the Frankenstein tale, graphic novels, feminist meditation, and pure storytelling into a riveting work of multiple fiction with a fugue-like poetry and an artist's eye distinctly its (and her) own. This is a work of dream and desire and defying boundaries, an electronic collage, a theatre of windows, and a cyborg song of communion and reunion." --MICHAEL JOYCE." Following Joyce's endorsement is an image of (a young, gamine) Jackson at left, with a thumbnail biography of the author at right. The text reads: "A self-described 'student of the art of digression,' Shelley Jackson holds an AB in studio art from Stanford University and an MFA in creative writing from Brown University. Her work has appeared in Degenerative Prose and various journals, including Conjunctions. She has written and illustrated a children's book, The Old Woman and the Wave, to be published by Orchard Books." The lower part of the folio back, below the decorative border, begins with a line specifying the disk format (Windows or Macintosh) and advising that either configuration "Requires 2 MB RAM and a hard disk drive." The format selection is indicated with a circular white appliquée. Publisher's information follows: Published by Eastgate Systems, Inc. 134 Main Street Watertown, MA 02172 (800) 562-1638 (617) 924-9044 Adjacent to this information, on the right, is the ISBN-10 code for the work, running vertically: 1-884511-23-6. Immediately to the right of the ISBN-10 is an inset barcode. Folio, Opened The opened folio reveals a slot, or pocket, on the left hand side where the diskette is kept. The inside, left-hand side of the folio's cover advertises Diane Greco's Cyborg: Engineering the Body Electric and provides copyright information for Patchwork Girl. The work is copyrighted 1995 by Shelley Jackson, with all rights reserved. Cover art and documentation are copyrighted by Eric Cohen. Trademark recognition is given for Macintosh and Windows. Publisher information is given here also. On the right hand side is the 16-page booklet that contains directions for reading Patchwork Girl on both Windows and Macintosh. Also included in the booklet is a biographical sketch of Shelley Jackson and information about where to get answers to technical problems. Folio, Booklet, Removed At right is a page advertising the Storyspace Hypertext Writing Environment, the system used to produce Patchwork Girl and other Eastgate titles, some of which are listed in a box at right (Patchwork Girl, A Dream with Demons, afternoon, Victory Garden, Socrates in the Labyrinth, and Cyborg: Engineering the Body Electric). Booklet, Front The covers of the included booklet are printed on thin card stock, with the interior pages on letter stock. Ink is black throughout. The cover of the booklet repeats the folio cover, minus the sepia-toned background and faux-antique text. Booklet, Table of Contents At the top of the first page is a list of Contents: Getting Started with Patchwork Girl (one section each for Macintosh and Windows), About the Author, and Questions. Immediately following are Acknowledgements: "The author would like to thank George P. Landow, Dan Russell, and Robert Coover for their help in the composition of Patchwork Girl." Booklet, Back The back cover of the booklet repeats publisher information. It also includes a second indicator of operating-system format, this one including an option for "Both" Windows and Macintosh. Floppy Disk, Front The 3 1/2" diskette containing Patchwork Girl is a double-sided, high density unit marked with the legend "HD" on the black plastic casing. The front of the disk has a white label overlapping onto the reverse, 2 1/4" of the front and 1/2" of the back. The front part of the label shows the title, printed in two lines centered, with author's name directly below it in italic capitals. Underneath is a red containing the text "SERIOUS HYPERTEXT from." Beneath this line and words is the Eastgate logo (a drawing of a stone arch) and contact information for the company. All lettering on the label is in a dark red ink. Floppy Disk, Back The label on the reverse of the floppy disk reads, "Copyright © 1995 by Shelley Jackson © 1992-95 by Eastgate Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Unauthorized distribution or sale of this material is expressly prohibited." Re-Release, Front This is the packaging for a re-published version of Patchwork Girl brought out after all copies of the initial version had been exhausted. The package includes diskette and booklet shrink-wrapped against a cardboard backing. Re-Release, Back The reverse of the re-release packaging is blank. Re-Release Booklet, Front The re-release booklet is identical to the booklet included in the original release. Re-Release Booklet, Table of Contents The re-release booklet is identical to the booklet included in the original release. Re-Release Floppy, Front Diskette included in the re-release packaging shows small differences from the initial release version (beige color, embossed "HD" indicator), but is essentially identical. Re-Release Floppy, Back Diskette included in the re-release packaging is essentially identical to original release. CD Re-Release, Front The CD-ROM version of Patchwork Girl was released in 2001, as the standard design of personal computers no longer included a diskette drive. the Compact Disk is readable by both Macintosh and Windows systems. The cover art (most likely by Eric Cohen) suggests two patches of skin connected by a line of fine sutures. (This image has the unfortunate effect of also looking like a crack in the CD, at first glance.) The title of the work appears in capitals. At left is a copyright statement. Eastgate's copyright date is given as 1992-2001. Author's name appears in large, italic capitals below, followed by publisher information. CD Re-Release, Back Reverse of the CD-ROM is blank except for manufacturer's marks. CD Re-Release Liner, Front The CD has an updated cover image by Eric Cohen. His original four-part collage now sits in the middle of a three-image stack. It lies over a lighter image that may suggest scarred skin. Over both this and the collage graphic is a darker image with fine graining suggesting unmarked skin. The left edge of this top image is a smooth but irregular curve which on close inspection shows regular indentations, as from surgical sutures. This line cuts through the collage and the lower graphic, giving the overall composition a striking element of depth. The collage graphic remains in black, with the two new layers both rendered in a red-toned sepia. Jackson's name, in italic capitals, appears in the upper left corner of the cover. The main title of the work runs in larger capitals along the bottom of the cover. CD Re-Release Liner, Back The graphical background for the reverse of the liner is the same as the front. the image of the author shows a (puckish? pensive?) red-haired Jackson aiming a Polaroid instant camera in our direction. (This image also appears on Jackson's Wikipedia page.) The biographical sketch has been updated to include several publications subsequent to 1995, including three publications on the World Wide Web (My Body, Stitch Bitch, and Musée Mécanique). More print works are also mentioned, including her story collection The Melancholy of Anatomy, which had yet to appear in 2001. "She lives nowhere in particular and specializes in everything." CD Re-Release Case, Front Front of the CD case showing liner cover graphic. CD Re-Release Case, Back Main title of the work runs across the top of the insert in large capitals. Following this are endorsements. Joyce's earlier text is edited to a single line ("Hypertext's next step... spectacular in every sense"). There is a new endorsement from Robert Coover, exxerpted from his keynote address to the 1999 Digital Arts and Culture Conference: "Perhaps the true paradigmatic work of the era..." Below is the author's name in large bold italics. Following this, the legend "CD for Windows and Macintosh OS," and below that, two paragraphs offering operating system advice, first for Windows and then Macintosh, adjacent to the ISBN and barcode inset. Windows system requirements are listed as "Windows 95, 98, NT, me, 2000, XP, or later: insert this CD into your computer, and run SETUP.EXE to install Patchwork Girl. Requires: 486, Celeron, Pentium, or faster processor." Macintosh advice is: "insert this CD into your computer and double-click the "Patchwork Girl installer" to install Patchwork Girl. Requires Mac OS 6.07 or later. Below these elements, the Eastgate logo flanked at left by contact information, now including an e-mail address, with the Eastgate signature and postal address at right. CD Re-Release Case, Opened Reverse of the cover liner at left, CD in case at right. USB Stick Re-Release, Front In the fourth quarter of 2014, Eastgate re-issued Patchwork Girl with updated installers and application code compatible with current versions of the Macintosh OS. Anticipating a time when standard personal computers will not include CD drives -- already the case on thin-format laptops -- Eastgate issued the work on a removable storage chip with a plug interface for Universal Serial Bus, referred to in their catalog as a "USB stick," and also popularly known as a thumb drive or flash drive. As of June, 2015, the new release is available only for Macintosh. USB Stick Release, Back Reverse of the USB stick. Note the distinctive bamboo casing. USB Stick Release, Contents Contents of the USB stick viewed in Mac OS 10.10. Drag-and-drop installation is available for the included version of Patchwork Girl. Note the folders below the installer alias, one each for the "Classic" (pre-OSX) versions of Mac OS, the other for OSX versions prior to 10.7. The PDF document contains a reformatted version of the instruction booklet from the first release.
