He's been on the hunt. He did have to sell quite a bit of his collection a few years back; so this is all recovery mode. (He's pressing F7 to restore, right now)

I have most of what I want - there's just a few I'd like to get my hands on again, Championship Boxing and Black Cauldron.

Other than that, like all the Hoyle, Fishing, Sports, etc - don't personally interest me for myself.

But Rudy does it all (maybe because he does want it), but I think it's mostly to have a complete archive of everything Sierra on his site.

"Rudy's acquisitions" continued

Got a bunch of things I never had before, as well as alternate releases and recovered some of my old boxes.

And some more...

Nice going. I have the non-Discovery version of EQ1, but not that one. I would like to expand my Discovery series. Outside of those the only one missing is the HL2, which is not high on my list.

That's a big box, like the size of GK Mysteries etc.... I'm curious about the quality difference between the original Half-Life and Half-Life Source (remake with the Source engine, which is supposedly included in this collection). Box also includes the T-shirt, HL2 itself of course, HL2 Prima Guide, and quick reference card.

Not to take the spotlight off Rudy, but I had the good fortune to find this last week: The box may have been opened, but the disc and guidebook are still sealed up together. So nice to feel that 90s shrink wrap intact.

Look what I found.

Nice going! Do you have anything to play it on? I am not sure what would be involved with doing a ROM dump to play it in an emulator.

I think I still have mine that I bought when it originally came out with the rest of my console games. I really should dig it up and check.

Sweet! Box and all? Lucky!

Absolutely. Though it's currently buried in the closet. I have played the ROM in the past though through to the end. This will be interesting on the original hardware though .

If I do still have it, I doubt I have the box. I don't recall the box being in the bin; just the game. But that was many, many years ago.

Ah I see. Still nice!

Well. Not so nice. I no longer have it. I am assuming during one of the moves; I had let someone use it and never got it back, before moving back to California. No idea who might have it. And if they did - they probably don't anymore!

Hey! Stop hijacking my thread!
