I got alarmingly lucky yesterday and found the Roberta Williams Anthology in a thrift store less than five minutes from home. I got it for $4.32 -- more than ten times less than it's selling for on eBay (although one of the international sellers is letting it go for roughly the same price...odd). It's just the 4-CD jewel case, but I haven't gotten this excited over a game find in years.

Wow! Seriously why are there no such thrift stores in San Diego? That's an INCREDIBLE find. I need to replace my own RWA. Mine was lost or borrowed to someone - no idea where it is. A few of my games vanished in the multiple moves.

Have you received your Willy CD, yet?

That sounds wrong. Of course, my mind is constantly in the gutter.

I have most of those games -- in their original boxes too. The only three that I don't "technically" have (but do own) are KQ1, KQ2 and The Black Cauldron for my old AppleII. Obviously, I can't run those today, even with an AppleII emulator. These games were on 5.25" floppy diskettes and even 3.5" drives are becoming difficult to find, let alone 5.25" ones.

Won 2 rare boxes last night:

King's Quest 3 (first release grey box, 1986)


And Space Quest 1 (first release 1986)

[Tawmis]

Son of a... Did you win that Space Quest on ebay?

[Rudy]

Yep, last night. It was a bit annoying cause the auctions ended at 5AM local time. I had to bid hours before the end and go high enough for others to give up on it, lol.

What's interesting is that, with the exception of a few games (such as Breach 3), I own every game shown here and more. Nearly all of my games are in their original boxes too.

If I were to going to purchase an older game, I'd probably be interested in Aces of the Deep. I have every other Flight Simulator made by Dynamix, including a demo version of Desert Fighters, which was never released. A friend of mine worked on that game and was surprised I had it, too.

Can you post a zip of the Desert Fighters demo here? I could put it up on SHP with the other demos.

You outbid me then... well I was one of them. Linked it in my Trying to Acquire Space Quest 1 EGA thread.



Well at least I know it went into loving hands... when I got beat.

I would, but I have it on a disc that's not with me at the moment. When I can get, I'll send the ZIP to you.

[Collector]

That would be great. No rush.

I know I've already bought this game, but I couldn't let this one for only $16 get by me
