Really? I found a shrinkwrapped John Madden Football (but for the C64)
for $3 a little over a year ago on a clearance rack. Couldn't sell it

I've found Micro League baseball to be very common ( have about 6 for
various platforms), but Micro League Baseball II is relatively rare...that
might have something to do with the price (but I'd never pay near that much
for it).
I've found the original John Madden Football (from 88/89) to fetch

mouse, and I don't think they would have included mouse support for an IBM
game in 1987, did they?

Hey John, if you wouldn't mind, can you share the highlights of your resume
