Greetings everyone,
After lurking in this little list for 2 months now I felt now it's the time
come out of the closet ;)
As you can see, my name is Stefan Lindblom. I am from Sweden, 25 years old,
and as my friend Pedro here pointed out, don't look nerdish enough to be allowed
to
Hi Stefan,
welcome to the list! Thanks for introducing yourself, always great to learn
how other collectors got drawn into the hobby. Your story of investing a
small fortune to build your initial collection sounds all too familiar,
I've only recently come to balance out my spendings through
One of these is a copy of Star Saga: One for the Apple II. All the
materials inside are unused and the manuals are shrinkwrapped. I
don't recall hearing about it until I found it, but I thought it was
cool finding it in that condition. I have no sentimental attachment
to it, however, and

Then there was Edward Franks, hi Edward. I bought a big box of old SSI Apple II games from him, the big box format.
Hello there. I remember that big box of SSI games I shipped to you. I was happy to get them off my hands
You have a splendid memory indeed then :) Glad to
you remember me as well, I am happy to be here although my knowledge will be far
inferior you all of you. I might be able to add something every now and then
though.

Hi Lee,
A bunch indeed.. imagine all those books along with all the games and it
would be a marvelously looking bookshelf. But hey, all game collectors
already know that :)
And yes, I have that Trail Map, still in shrink though so I dont know what
it looks like.. have to get another one
I also collect AH games. My list is here:
http://www.classicgaming.com/gotcha/avalonhill.htm (no history section for
AH yet...need to get to that). For some reason AH games are not very
desirable on ebay (with only a few exceptions like Telengard). AH was one
of the most prolific publishers of
Hi Hugh,
Wow, is that your page? Got tears in my eyes just
by opening the SSI link.. have to take a break and have some dinner and read it
later, been looking for some good SSI history. For me the guys in the SSI groups
are gods :)

Thanks
for the kind words and sorry about the tears...a few people have complained
about my color scheme, but you're the first to actually complain about eye
strain :-))
If
you're that big an SSI fan, you should also check out my history of Tactical
Design Group, who developed a lot of
Both sets have at least one error-free set of disks (why collect
if you can't play)?
I've been thinking about this... and wouldn't it be safer to play off backup
copies? I mean, the disk could get munched in the drive, the label could
get scratched going in and out... or is that attitude too
Too anal? Certainly not for me, and I doubt for most people
here... I didn't want to blab/stray off-topic or I'd go off for 50
pages. I image all the floppies (either normalize them or make nibble
images) copy them over a string of computers and burn the images on CD
for use on an
Copies are the way to go for playing, and I usually let other people do the
copying. Finding good original games at a garage sale, thrift store, flea
market, etc. is a rarity for me (especially since I don't go often anymore).
However, I've found hundreds of copies or loose originals at these
Thanks for the minor deity status! I'd actually like to see what the
complete EA Apple II catalog looks like. Do you have a list you could send
me? Also, does that include IIgs?
That reminds me of another good poll for you guys. I mentioned some of the
best games I got for free. But I'd be
Regarding Odyssey: The Compleat Adventure:
I remember this one, this was a GREAT game! It's in four
parts, right? First you fight monsters, trade, and acquire
enough money to build a ship and leave the island, then you
have to navigate the ocean, find a magic artifact in some
catacombs
Hmm. Now I have an urge to go find Dungeon Campaign and
Wilderness
Campaign...
Yes! I have mint copies of these two as well. Man, I am pretty loaded
with Synergistic Software. :)

Speaking of Wasteland, if any of you have a copy that you'd really love
to have autographed, I could probably arrange for you to have your copy
autographed by Alan Pavlish... :)
