Re: [SWCollect] Been Awhile, Hasn't It?
Hey Chris, let me know how bidville works out, I've never sold anything there although I've tried. If you find top load NES make sure you get the bone handle controllers with it if you want it for value as well as use I got mine from Funco/Gamestop years ago, they price all NES the same (at least they used to), had to keep checking til I got lucky. Nice little system, I've never had to clean it. Only bad thing is it does not have RCA output, only RFU although it can be modded.

Re: [SWCollect] Been Awhile, Hasn't It?
Yup, this list switches between frantic activity and solemn silence. Around here, well, I got word from Ken Love, producer at Activision, that they are planning a Zork IV. We've had occasional email contact since then and it looks like it might take off, but it has been awhile. I am also starting to sell the dozen or so Space Quest Collector's Editions I have here via ebay. If any of you are interested, give me a holler. Oh, and we have a damn hot heatwave in Germany. Today we had 36°C, that's 97°F for you on the other side of the big pond. They say we are in for a constant climate change in that direction, meaning in 20 years we can have palms instead of oaks lining streets. Marco C.E.

We've had occasional email contact since then and it looks like it might take off, but it has been awhile. Really? That surprises me. The last I'd heard, Activision had dropped the Zork line of games and hadn't bothered to renew their ownership on the trademark. I am also starting to sell the dozen or so Space Quest Collector's Editions I have here via ebay. If any of you are interested, give me a holler. Which version is this? There are so many Sierra collections out there. B-) -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
