It would explain a lot of odd, quirkish behavior. And I myself am mildly
obsessive-compulsive in other areas of my life besides collecting.

I know of one (Infocom) collector in Germany who collects one version of
each
Plus every Moonstone in Ultima VI is a little bit different. Thus you're
getting a unique item with each copy you obtain! B-)

Absolutely I would buy them all! However, I would likely use 90% of them as
trade material to get other games I wanted. But that would be the only
reason I buy something I already own...because I can get something else I
want...eventually.

You have just stated that about 50% of game collectors in the world, and
including reknown ones like Jason P.
Well, there is one other valid reason. Let's say that only 100,000 Ultima
IV's where ever produced (for the sake of a round number). And let's say
that half of those have been thrown away, lost or otherwise damaged beyond
recognition. That means that if you own 5 of them, then you own .0001% of

Hello again,
Something recently occurred to me, about collectors likes us (at least I
fall under the following category):
I collect RPGs as a hobby (nothing new here), the same way others collect
adventures, Infocom games, EA flats, etc. Right? Right.
But some of us know that it isn't just a hob
>From what I can tell (screenshots on the back, as I don't have a working C64
yet) the game is the same, just with a few minor details changed: Mars

dossier in Infocom's, etc.
