I saw a copy of RoboSport in a thrift store today. Got home to see how much it goes for on eBay and couldn't find a single copy, either active or completed. This leads me to ask, are there people (here or elsewhere) that collect Maxis games? I know there are collectors of Infocom and other IF

It's a split-screen, two player combat flight simulator from 1988. Not what you think of when you mention Maxis, but it's a GREAT game. Anybody know an earlier Maxis game? I just read up on the history of Maxis, and SimCity was actually released for the commodore in 1987, and was the first
