Correction: It is the only one *known* to be in existence outside of his
house. :) If another is found,
I know IBM also published a statistic-based college football game around
that time frame. I don't remember the name. Probably IBM College Football

Oh, it's still a nice price for the bundle. He didn't tell me that it had
been for all those items, he just told me he had sold the Akalabeth he had
traded with LB himself, and when I asked him for how much, he just said "a
five digit value"...

I just remembered a game I really used to like but I have forgotten its
name. Maybe one of you can help me.
I've played it originally on a Sinclair Spectrum, but I think it existed
for other platforms. I'm pretty sure the game's name was one word only. The

No one is going to change my mind that Ultima V is one of, if not the best
RPG of all time (IV and VI are close). Anyone who liked those games should
also try Magic Candle 1, in a few ways even better than UV!!! I recommend

Oh, and it isn't the "Starcross saucer". There's no such thing as a
