Found this interesting little item on eBay and had to have it!
www.ebay.com/itm/110933026562?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Never knew that Capstone/Interplay made a deal with anyone to have the game include a gamepad as a pack-in. Haven't heard of the company Winner and Google searches don't bring anything up about them either. Sent Les an email to see if he can shed some light on this little mystery.
Once I get this in my hands, gonna have to do some extensive research. Also planning on taking pictures of this and adding it to my C7 site along with any info Les might be able to hopefully provide. First real update in 4 years! It's just too bad the site is starting to look like an abomination with all the Tripod ads and banners plaguing it.  |

This product has now been sold using the "best offer" feature. But, for whatever it's worth, here's a sale for the CD version, still sealed. The seller has been voted wih 100% Positive feedback. |

Just arrived in the mail today. The box sustained some damage do to the idiot that shipped it did so in a bubble envelope. Moron... I've already notified him of my displeasure. The contents however were unharmed.
The 707 Joypad looks brand new, as if it were never used. Not a single scratch or scuff on the body and the cord is nick free. Came with a fold out style instruction sheet. A registration card was also included for the pad. Everything else is pretty much the same as what you'd find in a normal floppy release of Corridor 7. I am over all pleased with this purchase.
Did some further investigating into this Winner company... Would seem that "Winner Products USA Inc" is the full name and was an electronics retail chain based in City of Industry, CA. I would assume that they obtained a license from Capstone to bundle their product with a copy of C7. Plastered on the front and back of the box is their logo, so I would assume this was sold only through them. Interesting, to say the least, but I wish I could find out more. Unfortunately there isn't a whole hell of alot to go on.  |
