*'''Description:''' A compilation of King's Field I-IV, bundled together in a large box. It was released in celebration of From Software's 20th anniversary. It also comes with several extras, which include a memorial DVD, a soundtrack CD, a map of the game world, and an art book.
*'''Description:''' The Darkside Box is a limited edition, numbered collectors compilation released to commemorate From Software's 20th anniversary. The full color, 54 page soft-cover art book has some sketches of item/creature concept designs, and many screen shots from the game. The music CD includes sample tracks from all 4 KF games and the "Additional" games for the PSP. The relatively uninspired video DVD has a couple KF commercials but mostly shows gameplay footage. The game manuals are similar to the stripped down versions that came with the "Best" releases which are missing some of the character, item and story descriptions that came in the original release manuals, but they bear the new SLPS numbers for the Darkside releases. The game disk labels are updated to a matching design, but the data has not been changed from earlier releases.  
*'''Includes:''' Four game discs, four game manuals, soundtrack disc, video disc, art book, map, slipcase, case.
 
*'''Includes:''' 6 disks (KF1-4, "Memorial" video DVD, "Best Soundtrack" music CD) in a foldout case with a slip cover, an art book, a small numbered folder with it's contents (4 game manuals, sound track card, foldout map of Verdite) and the main box (main box bottom, main box cover, short outer label slip-sleeve, inner cardboard spacer shim, second cardboard side-spacer shim).
|
*'''Language:''' Japanese
*'''Release Date:''' Unknown
*'''Description:'''  The official From Software picture of the box set shows significant differences from the final retail release (different box art, gold foil slip cover with gold lettering, and a thicker apparently hard bound art book etc). While it seems likely that at least one copy of this variant was printed, there is no confirmation that it was ever released to the public or if the pictured copy still exists somewhere.

  • Language: Japanese
  • Platform: PS1 and PS2
  • Release Date: 1/25/2007
  • Original Price: 9,800 Yen(~$125)
  • Serial: Boxset: SLPS-25725, KF1: SLPS-03578, KF2: SLPS-03579, FK3: SLPS-03580, KF4: SLPS-25725
  • Discs CRC: KF1: 54c8f64a, KF2: 11fbcd36, FK3: 9fc2fde0, KF4: 87edf9db
  • Description: The Darkside Box is a limited edition, numbered collectors compilation released to commemorate From Software's 20th anniversary. The full color, 54 page soft-cover art book has some sketches of item/creature concept designs, and many screen shots from the game. The music CD includes sample tracks from all 4 KF games and the "Additional" games for the PSP. The relatively uninspired video DVD has a couple KF commercials but mostly shows gameplay footage. The game manuals are similar to the stripped down versions that came with the "Best" releases which are missing some of the character, item and story descriptions that came in the original release manuals, but they bear the new SLPS numbers for the Darkside releases. The game disk labels are updated to a matching design, but the data has not been changed from earlier releases.
  • Includes: 6 disks (KF1-4, "Memorial" video DVD, "Best Soundtrack" music CD) in a foldout case with a slip cover, an art book, a small numbered folder with it's contents (4 game manuals, sound track card, foldout map of Verdite) and the main box (main box bottom, main box cover, short outer label slip-sleeve, inner cardboard spacer shim, second cardboard side-spacer shim).
  • Language: Japanese
  • Release Date: Unknown
  • Description: The official From Software picture of the box set shows significant differences from the final retail release (different box art, gold foil slip cover with gold lettering, and a thicker apparently hard bound art book etc). While it seems likely that at least one copy of this variant was printed, there is no confirmation that it was ever released to the public or if the pictured copy still exists somewhere.
