Does anyone out there happen to know where I can track down the original 1985 version of Jingle disk? The only image I can seem to find online is the 1986 version, but they removed a lot of the animations from that one I'm more nostalgic for the 85 version anyway because that's the one I had growing up. Not necessarily asking for an .img file, I'd be more than happy to purchase a copy if I can find one (for a reasonable price). However, eBay also seems to be failing me as far as tracking a copy down.

huh. I have never seen a 1985 version of that program. I have an original 1986 disk (I swear I had two of them, but only spotted one tonight) and it matches what you're finding online.
I'm sorry I don't have a better lead for you, but I will officially put it on my missing list.

Yeah, it's out there somewhere. LGR did a video about Jingle disk and actually shows the 1985 version, which shows the opening with the jack in the box, which is exactly how I remember the disk I used to have opening. You can check it out here

FOUND IT! After doing some more digging I found a message board where some guy was hosting an ftp site with various vintage Christmas software. I was able to grab a copy of it from there.
EDIT: I'm an idiot. That "guy" hosting the FTP site was Trixter! If you're reading this, thanks for the upload!

well well well. trixter's been holding out on me then.
Glad it has been found, and now that I'm aware of two versions of it, it will go immediately into the total dos collection forever.
