This one could well be my find of the year. I was looking for a boxed Dune but didn't expect to get this one!

What's the condition of the Exxos soundtrack CD? Have you tried running ExactAudioCopy on it?

I've been wanting to get my hands on just that soundtrack CD, didn't know it came in a big box copy. I thought it was a mail order thing.

Disc looks like it's never been played. I burned myself a copy to keep from messing it up.

Spice Opera is interesting to listen to, a few awesome tracks and a few that are less great. It's not as super rare as some say, there is one on UK eBay right now for £20.

Awesome finds - love that California Games box art.

Cool stuff! I'm a big fan of the small box and LP-style slip cases. Hope you got lucky and all the disks work.

I'm not massively interested in collecting the SSI Gold Boxes, mainly because they're so rarely seen in Germany... but I'm interested in playing them one day. So I won this pristine copy of the Forgotten Realms Archive on eBay the other day:

Picked this up; the magnetic windows version of the games. I have/had all other versions. This one is complete (unwrapped cassette tape etc). just need to find a 3.5" drive to transfer the disks off... This will go nice alongside my Legend Entertainment collection box.

^ I guess Magnetic Scrolls are the UK equivalent of the Legend adventures.

Some new games here over the last few months.

I bought that also a while ago on sale.

Haven't tried testing it on a Windows 98 machine yet.

Yeah, I need to try that too. I can't get D3D working without terrible graphical glitches. Tried all the switches. So I play it with software rendering on my XP machine which is still good.

The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

How is Longbow for you?
I got this game from a friend who was ridding himself of all of his old games, so I basically got this huge lot of older games of which many I never even heard of or at the most very vaguely.

Whats missing in your collections?

Haven't tried it yet, but I read that's it's one of the best DOS chopper sims.
