Re: [SWCollect] Bah, ebay/paypal

2004-01-23 Thread Brian the Fist
Has anyone tried e-Gold (www.egold.com)?  I stumbled across it a few
days ago, and it seems pretty neat as a PayPal alternative..

Re: [SWCollect] A game called Whiz Kid

2004-01-23 Thread C.E. Forman
I've heard of it somewhere, but it's possible you may have mentioned it
before.  Any accompanying docs, or just the disk?

Subject: [SWCollect] A game called Whiz Kid


 Talking about preserving games... I have an old Apple II diskette with a
 graphic adventure game called Whiz Kid. It's in the style of the early
 Sierra Hi-Res Adventures, with graphics on the top and text on the
 bottom of the screen. The following information is given at bootup:

 Venturwiz (tm)
 Graphic Adventure Series #2
 Softdisk - Rich 'n Famous Series
 Copyright 1984 Gary Bond

 As well, it mentions later on that the author has also written:

 Graphics and Sound Wizard
 The Princess and the Valley of Fire

 Searching the web and the newsgroups doesn't bring up a single match.
 Neither does it show up with anything related to Softdisk. Has anybody
 else heard of this game or know of any other games in the Graphic
 Adventure Series? It actually seems like a decent adventure although
 the parser is not exactly of Infocom caliber.

[SWCollect] Legend closed

2004-01-23 Thread Marco Thorek
You may have heard it already, but Legend, the company run by former
Infocommie Bob Bates and his partner Mike Verdu, has been shut down by
its current publisher, Infogrames.

The Legend now had only little to do with the adventure games they once
developed, but it still is bad to see another great name go.

Here's the news:
