This came in the post yesterday:
Kings Quest Collection and Gabriel Knight 3 (sealed)
I bought both for 2.57 USD each.
Very lucky, especially since it was from someone that really looked after his games, excellent condition!

Bought another copy of Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle Of Flesh. This one is not from Sierra Originals, so I hope it's uncensored!
't Was a great day for second-hand store browsing. With pain in my heart I left an Atari arcade machine for Super Sprint behind
which was out my budget range and would have been a pain to lug around on my bicycle.
Besides Phantas 2 I also acquired Mystery of the Druids, Alida, Ark of Time and Reah. Never heard of any of them, but you never know...

If it's the EU release (which has "18" requirement instead of "M" ESRB rating), then the most graphic scenes are censored.

Checked it on your site: it's the US box. Phew!
(Although it didn't come in box. Of today's purchases, only Druids came in a box... and by jove it's the ugliest box in the woods.)

Got this today from the local 2nd hand store!
The inside part of the box is missing though (theres 2 parts, the top and bottom - the top is missing) otherwise its in great condition.
Never even heard of this game.
I bought it because it says "Sierra" at the bottom of the box
Again, I'm not that nuts about collecting anything outside of the true quest style games, so if someone wants to swap this game for a 'true' Quest game, please let me know

Woot. Got Space Quest 1 EGA for 18 bucks + 5 S&H.
Will believe it when it's in my hands. It's the final piece I was always missing of the classic Sierra Quest game series.

Great! That means you will swap it for my "The last dynasty"?
That would make you a good, kind hearted person, and you DO want to be a good, kind hearted person, don't you? don't you?

It would work if it wouldn't be Space Quest 1 EGA. If you really want that one, you just gotta outbid him on the auction. It isn't that hard, really

I just picked up an original jewel-cased Torin's Passage from Value Village today for $3.99. There's gold in there sometimes. I also picked up Rebel Assault II and Serious Sam 1 for the same price each. X-Wing Collector's CD was also there but I already have that. A shame, though, because the version I have has just purple ink on the disc while the version in the store was multi-coloured. It would have been nice to have that one as the Collector's CD I have of Tie Fighter is also multi-coloured.

So pissed.
SQ1EGA was without the box. The dude put a picture of the box - but didn't actually come with a box.
So I have the disks and the manuals, but still no box...
Anyone have a spare Space Quest 1 EGA box?
Ugh.
