Pointless (me) bidding for it though, it'll prolly go for 🤑 😳

😢

That is the Australian Black Diamond re-release.

I would prefer to get this cover version.

But I got the Electronics Art's Classics version.

Hmm System Shock series? That game really something special?
I got System Shock 1 sealed brand-new in big box, complete and so on for about 7 Euro. That was around 5 years ago. Hmm what's the big deal about it, am curious? 😀

You can learn a bit more about SS2 here, and check out some ratings etc -

I'd be happy with any of them. 😀 So long as they were complete and the CD playing surface was in very good condition. Can't stand CDs with marks on them. Hate having "read errors".

Ah, Looking Glass Technologies! The most underrated company of all time which was killed by the ignorance of the mass population. It still has a cult following even though the company is no more.
Every game from Looking Glass has some features which make it stand out from the rest. And System Shock is one of them.
But for most of the people who are relatively new to the gaming scene will be put off by the primitive no-mouse-look interface. And you can't change the default key layout which may also be frustrating. I really hope some fan will create a patch for mouselook and the ability to reconfigure the keys. Nonetheless, be assured that there are hardcore followers for this game. Err...I'm one of them. 😁

those obscure freeware gems i mention about from time to time that have been gone forever is on my priority higher than any commercial old title

Real Myst (for PC). How come this game is so rare & expensive? Logic says that it should have sold by the bucket load when it was first published, yet it seems that there's so few copies available.

Ooh, I have Realmyst! How much do you want to pay for it?

Please can you describe its condition, including the CD(s) playing surface(s), and whether the box is complete, etc? Thanks a lot.

A game named Rooms of Doom. I saw it for sale once on ebay, but i missed the bid.

In case any of you know where I can find it, please let me know!

Well, a bit pricier than last time, but still.... 😁

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Rooms-Doom-PC-Dos-Complete … =item483b0d59ee

Whoa, necro thread. 😁

Why not...

I want complete boxed versions of...

Blood
Blood Plasma Pak
Blood II+Expansion
Duke Nuke'm 3D+Official Expansions, all editions.
Shadow Warrior
Redneck Rampage+expansions.
Aliens VS Predator+Expansion
GTA 1+2+London 1969
Sam and Max hit the road
Grim Fandango
X-Wing Collectors Edition
Tie Fighter Collectors Edition
Jedi Knight III
Doom, Doom II, Hexen, Heretic, Strife, Hexen II (CD and Floppy versions)

and on and on... all I can think of off the top.

Davros: ah, there's now 2 people in the world who own AHX-1, I also have it =]

Aliens VS Predator+Expansion

there was an expansion ?
all I know of was avp + the gold edition

Heh...

Ok, yeah.
I know, 16 months old and whatnot, but I thought DOS_Boy might like it regardless... 😎

Not the most common item on ebay, so...
(though hindsight beeing 20-20 etc, prob would've been better just sending a message)

Oh well - wonder who actually got it, for the best offer ?
Anyone here wanna take the rap ?

PC:
Wing Commander III - I loaned mine to a friend who was killed in a motorcycle accident and didn't get it back
Wing Commander I - one of my floppies has a disk read error, tried to read it on multiple drives
Little Big Adventure
Unlimited Adventures

Amiga:
Black Crypt
Bloodwych
Galdregon's Domain
Stunt Track Racer
Starglider
Time Bandits

The Neverhood.

Then there's a bunch of somewhat underwhelming games like Powerslave, Tekwar, Pod, Amok, Star Fighter, ect.

OI how dare you describe Pod as underwhelming

Dunno, the only overwhelming moment with Pod is when playing multiplayer (I played it multiplayer in the university's computer lab once or twice).

X-Com Collector's Edition
Man I'd like one of those...

Hello - do you have X-Com Interceptor? I have the official strategy guide for this game if you want to buy it off of me.

I want the PC version of F-29 Retaliator. With complete box and manual! I want it! I want it now!!! 😁

I've got the PC version of F-29 Retaliator that I mentioned. Fully Boxed with a perfect condition Manual! 😁 😁

And now, I'm still looking for fully boxed Wages of War : The Business of Battle. (New World Computing).

I'm going back for all the SSI games that I missed or got rid of long ago. Fantasy and wargaming was never the same since then.

Heh, it's the prequel to Bioshock and Bioshock 2 that's all that's special about it. (as if there needed to be more). 😁

It's kinda like asking old time Mac gamers what the big deal is about Marathon.

I don't know how much of FeedingDragon's list he/she's still looking for, but (just in case anyone else is interested), I'm selling 2 Forgotten Realms CD-ROM compilations on eBay this week. One is the 2001 Gamefest compilation (with PDF documentation); the other is the 1997 Interplay Forgotten Realms Archives, with a thick combined paper manual, codewheels where needed, and the SSI cluebooks for the original 4-game "Gold Box" Forgotten Realms series (Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Secret of the Silver Blades, and Pools of Darkness). These are duplicates of my personal copies, acquired recently at a convention, and both include original disks & the original box.
