About Murder on the Zinderneuf...I have the DOS version, and I'm in the
Northern Hemisphere! :-) I had no idea it was valuable at all. I don't
remember where/when I got mine, but the person would have been lucky to get
$5 for it. I don't see how the DOS version would have been especially rare.
Jim,
I've sent Jon Freeman a note asking if a DOS version of CCC exists. He made
the game and has an excellent memory, so I should be able to let you know
soon.
Why isn't Quest for the Ring at the top of my list? You should read my
thoughts about what makes a game valuable. It can be found

Now, or earlier? I went bonkers when I discovered Asimov, and the 150
or so images I tested out were at least 90-95% cracked. Maybe I got
lucky... or maybe

Okay, well the word has come back from Jon, and the answer
is...inconclusive. He said there wasn't one when he left Epyx to form Free
