Empire: Total War

From Sega Retro

Does anyone know what a "Total War Collection" actually is?

My expectation was that at some point, Sega bundled all of their Total War games into one package and called it "Total War Collection". Except I'm finding games being sold separately on eBay and in this case, even a re-release of the re-release:

Is it basically just a glorfied budget label or am I missing something?


Oh and btw, there is another Total War Collection that has six game in one DVD case. And a "complete collection" that isn't complete. -Black Squirrel (talk) 07:23, 24 July 2017 (CDT)

I checked about these very quickly and it seems there are two different releases: one by Avanquest Software with 4 games, and a different one by Sega with 6 games. The former comes with 2 CDs and 2 DVDs, while the latter seems to perform an online installation (by the back cover probably all about Steam stuff). I know this doesn't help a lot, but perhaps it can get you started. --AllisonKidd (talk) 17:45, 24 July 2017 (CDT)
There is a budget label too, apparently... I've found other games on eBay but too lazy to find them again right now. As a side note, some games seem to include digital manuals in the discs rather than printed ones (less stuff to be scanned!). --AllisonKidd (talk) 20:37, 27 July 2017 (CDT)
