Hey, you're lucky! How much did you pay for the game, by the way?

Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....

It was a buy it now price of £11.99, with £2.45 shipping. (Sellers photo below.) The contents were all in an unused condition: minty-mint. Guess I lucked out with that one! 😀

Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles Adventure Game.

It states: "Sensational 3D graphics ..." 🤣

I bought this game because I enjoyed the telly program from ages ago.

Moby Link:

The Press section indicates that the game sucks though. 🙁

🤣

The following are not games, but selected back issues of Computer Gaming World. I bought these things on ebay in September 2009, but it just arrived last week. Not the seller's fault (in fact, the seller is very cooperative), but S/H from Canada to Indonesia always takes MONTHS, unlike from the US or UK which merely takes few days.

This Saturdays raid at my local game pusher, resulted in these 3 games:

  • Command & Conquer - Red Alert.

    I know, it is released as a free download, but it is always nice to have the box. The box is in very good condition, and so is the manual, registration card and quick-chart.

    50 SEK ~ 6 USD.
  • Fallen Haven - by Bluebyte.

    Unfortunately it is one of those re-releases, so it is not in the original box. Oh well, one can not have everything. I have been a Bluebyte since I discovered Battle Isle, so this one was a must-buy item.

    50 SEK ~ 6 USD.
  • X-COM Apocalypse.

    This one is interesting. Nice box, in good condition, and filled with a lot of documentation. The box is a little special. On the side there is a sticker with the text: For Sale in S.E. Asia Only. Now how that box has ended up in Sweden is any ones guess.

    The price was interesting to. The price-sticker said 40 SEK (a bargain), but the store-owner said the price was 400. At that point I lost interest. He then offered to sell it for 100 SEK ~ 16 USD 😀

Went to the "Caritas" (like salvation army, they take in stuff people don't want and sell it very cheap then) yesterday to look what software they have. I bought the following, almost everything without a cover, just the CD:
Deus Ex
Bioforge (with the CD-Cover-Manual)
A sampler of Origin games containing Ultima 8, Wing Commander 2, Strike Commander and Syndicate
A Windows 95b installation CD (german)

€1 for each CD 😀

Funny stuff, when I looked at the U8 install.bat. Just a snippet of the language selection stuff 😀

:langE
cd english
install.exe -YOUR_MOTHER_WAS_A_HAMPSTER %2
cd ..
cd engspch
install.exe
echo.
echo Done!
echo.
goto end

:langF
cd francais
install.exe -YOUR_FATHER_SMELLED_OF_ELDERBERRIES %2
cd ..
cd frnspch
install.exe
echo.
echo Finis!
echo.
goto end

:langG
cd deutsch
install.exe -WHY_ARE_YOU_READING_THIS %2
cd ..
cd gerspch
install.exe
echo.
echo Fertig!
echo.
goto end

That reminds me, I visited the Caritas shop (5th district) some time ago to look for some interesting hardware, but alas they only had stuff too modern for my liking (Athlon boxes, etc...).

Interesting, I want to the Carla Shop in the 21st to leave some stuff (my gf moved in with me and we had some stuff twice) and they don't take anymore PC hardware because it was too much for them to handle and they had to throw it away...

Congratulations for the games that you bought. I wish I have the time to play games anymore, like a marathon playing, but can't do it. Gotta work to earn some little dollars.

Descent 2, "budget version" by the looks of it, but hey it only cost 9p. Can't remember what the shipping cost was, but it was about £1.

@Davros,

Thanks for the link!

@keropi,

Hehe, that looks gruesome! Does that game use the old Build Engine, which was used in Shadow Warrior?

My Descent 2 bargain from ebay (published by Softkey), doesn't have any CD audio on it. 🙁 PC game CD-ROMS, which lack their CD audio tracks, are turning out to be a bit of a nuisance.

I grabbed a boxed *very nice condition* copy of Blood 2 😁

@retro games 100:
I actually prefer FM/GM synthesis in games that CD-Audio tracks... most of the times I hunt floppy disk versions of games because of that 😀 (2 examples come in mind , alone in the dark 1 + 2, cd-audio is not my liking)
