Been trading with him before. Always the rare quality stuff. But check this one out: Ken Williams just gave his personal address to have the Mystery House autographed by him and Roberta! I'm in the 1000th heaven! Seriously, it's a dream coming true!

Nice! Do you read his blog? He's sailing in Japan right now so it may take a while for that signature. You must post a photo of it when you do get it!

Ken's such a genuine, down to earth guy. He called Patrick a few years back when we tried starting up a game under his lead (it's how we met). His voice sounded very intelligent with a higher tone to it than we'd imagined, and he even was OK with us meeting up with him in Seattle to play golf! What a guy! Of course, we never did go to Seattle.

Yes, i know. Told him i could handle another month or two . I just hope the seller does his thing and the postal services don't mess up . First thing i'll do when the whole procedure is done, is to make a scan .

Congratulations Rudy! I second the warm feeling about Ken Williams. Even on Facebook, he's just so nice and friendly. Can't wait to see the scan with their signatures!

It arrived! I can honestly say that opening the box, seeing Mystery House and holding it in my hands made my heartbeat go a little faster. Wow, just wow .

Next step: send it back to the USA

Some more...

Looks like you purchased from draconiansgames! Is this your first copy of King's Quest V 1st release?

Third time i'm buying from him, last month too. And yes, it's my first copy of the first release of KQ5.

Those purchases look fantastic.

Pharaoh, with documentation, in box!

UK.

I found a video game store near my house that just opened up. I went in to scan and actually found some Sierra.

Granted, FEAR isn't classic Sierra, but I thought $4 was fine for boxed with everything. I also got The Rise and Rule of Ancient Empires. I had never heard of it, but I knew I had to buy it once I saw the Sierra logo.

Nice that it is near. Stores like that are "catch as catch can." You need to check them on a regular basis, but usually expect you'll find nothing. Half Price Books used to be a good place to look, but now rarely have anything older than 4-5 years old.

Yeah I'm actually going to give the owner my number to give me a call if he ever catches a Sierra game. Hopefully something good may come out of it.
