I don't collect Maxis specifically, but have a lot of there stuff just
because it's so good. The first Maxis game I have (and the first that I
know of) is Skychase. It's a split-screen, two player combat flight
simulator from 1988. Not what you think of when you mention Maxis, but it's

I can't say I know much about Maxis collectors, but I do know that Robosport
had quite the cult following for a while (especially in Europe since it was
released on the Amiga as well as the PC and you could do multiplayer bouts
across the platforms).
Not sure how big it was in the states though...

I've seen people selling the original release of SimCity on eBay. Didn't
pay attention to what it was going for, though.

I can't speak for RoboSport, but I do remember several times seeing the
more obscure CIBU Sim titles like SimTower and especially SimHealth go for
substantial sums (in the $50-70 range). It probably wasn't for collecting
purposes -- at least at the time I saw these auctions they weren't among

Edward,
I'm sorry to hear about your wife. I hope you two find the miracle you seek.
