I nearly jumped a hole through the wall with happiness today... found a Sierra Originals Gabriel Knight 2 for E2,50!
Box is in good condition, but I can't find any graphic novel.

...so if I become silent, you know what I'm doing...

As far as I know, GK2 hasn't any graphic novel in it...

Great find, though!

Darn, missed out on LSL1 (EGA) again. It went for $49. Anyway, got Ecoquest instead:

Looks in good shape. I just need Goofy's Word Factory to complete my Sierra Disney games, but I think that it might be where you are keeping that copy of GK4 that you were going to give Al.

Goofy's Word Factory was never released, even though it was as good as finished. Sierra and Disney ended their cooperation in 1986 after the Black Cauldron was released. So, Al Lowe, who was the director of Sierra/Disney games, would have to start with something new, which turned out to be... Larry in 1987.

Of the DIsney titles, I'm still missing Mickey and Donald.

I know that it was never released. You missed the last part of my post:

Looks like you got the American release, which has no copy protection.

Had another lucky strike at the Geldrop second-hand store. Found many games I had already (and I'd been looking for GK1 for so long!) and went home with Sierra Originals versions of Gobliiins 1/Gobliins 2, and Goblins 3, and to top it off some LucasArts: Sam & Max Hit The Road, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, and Grim Fandango.
...And I haven't finished playing with the GK series yet. Aah... life is good...

Nice. For the Gobliiins games, save yourself a world of pain - rip the audio tracks to ogg or mp3 and play the games with ScummVM.

I wish there were some second hand stores around here. :(
