Re: [SWCollect] Micro League Baseball

This is the only sports game I've ever seen that's fetched a good collector's price, wonder what's so special about it? I know I've gotten a lot of Shoppe requests for Micro League. The Micro League series was a hit (no pun intended) in the early days because they were pure statistical simulations -- like fantasy football but for more than just football -- and they were very thorough. The baseball series in particular was updated by several yearly update disks with complete team rosters. It was a mandatory thing to own if you were a baseball fan and used computers, kind of like how XOR Corporation's NFL Challenge was a mandatory software title for anyone into fantasy football. Useless detective work: The seller uses webtv, so he's probably an older retired guy getting around to selling his stuff. The buyers were half new, half experienced. Based on their previous purchases, they are all sports fans primarily and computer users secondary (more likely, a distant third :). Maybe that helps understand the high price -- some baseball fan out there was a big fan of (some team) in (some year) and wanted to simulate fantasy baseball using something universally known to do it well.

[SWCollect] Phantasie II
Anyone got an idea what the original box contents were? Of the few that I've seen, the manual says Phantasie I II on it. If anyone has it handy, can you enumerate what originally came with it?

RE: [SWCollect] Phantasie II
Many thanks. Not sure what gives that Phantasie II comes with what looks like a re-issue or value pack manual. I read somewhere that its almost suicide to play Phantasie II w/green characters, and that its strongly recommended to transfer veteran Phantasie I chars. If PII is a continuation of PI perhaps the manuals are the same for both games so they labeled it accordingly. -Original Message- From: Alexander Zoller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, November 30, 2002 7:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SWCollect] Phantasie II Probably incomplete, there should be some kind of reference card also.
