Has anyone heard of this publisher?

Hello there

Over the years I've been buying and reading classics I haven't read before. The other day, I ordered a 7 book set of Jules Verne that contained all the books I wanted to read (plus An Antarctic Mystery which I know nothing about). The price seemed really good on the book website. It just arrived today, and upon first opening it, I was greeted by what I think is a very obvious AI image cover. Then on checking the bottom of the box, the supposed cost of the set is £62.93, whereas I paid just over £12 for it! It all feels really shady to me. I tried googling the publisher, but they're called "Classic Editions" which as you can guess isn't so easy to actually find what you're looking for.

I just checked the Amazon page for the reviews (the other website I bought from only had basic reviews) and a couple of the reviews say that there are mistranslations in Journey To The Centre Of The Earth, as well as character misnaming, which paired with the AI picture and weird price is making me think it might be some AI translated thing?

Has anyone ever heard of this publisher? It just feels so strange

Thank you

Today in gaming: The Crash Bash demo version on Spyro 3 is officially 26 years old

So I was having a chat with my brother yesterday and I mentioned Crash Bash. He told me that there was a near complete version on Spyro 3, so I went ahead to try it out (I knew the regular demo was there, but didn't know about this debug version). When I saw the date, I was shocked to see that the build was dated for today, exactly 26 years ago.

Damn, how time flies...
