(bad controls, overly simplistic, etc.) Nah, unthinkable. Short answer: Happens now and then, I guess :) Long answer: I think it's proportional to the time you've dedicated to it in the past. I still play a lot of the Spectrum's Formula 1 now and then on an emulator, and most of the RPGs I enjoyed in the early 90s I still pick them up to play again (or else why am I building a retro-gaming 486?!). But obviously if you think of a game you just played for a few hours/days back then you won't be dedicating some minutes to it nowadays. -- Pedro R. Quaresma Salvador Caetano IMVT Div.

Re: [SWCollect] New topic--Collectors UNITE!
There's another thought I had concerning this: many of us have games in their original shrinkwrap. The manufacturers of these games probably never figured they would ever stay for so long in that shrinkwrap, so might we actually create ourselves a problem if we leave those precious games in there? There is surely no air circulation going on through the shrinkwrap. Good shrinkwrap jobs have the pencil-eraser hole in the front and back. I may have actually brought this up in a column once (or was going to): If the shrink threatens to compress and damage the package, we may have to decide slitting it slightly is acceptable. Like the action figure collectors who decided cutting the spare battery out of the package was better than having it rupture and leak acid all over an MIP fig. -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.

I don't know...I hate the idea of keeping software in shrinkwrap.

Re: [SWCollect] New topic--Collectors UNITE!
All my collection is shrinkwrapped only. I don't need to touch the stuff inside the box, I did that when I actually played them many years ago ;) They look nicer in the shrinkwrap imo too. I'm not in it to make money, but there's nothing wrong with keeping the maximum value in tact for my collection, right?

Re: [SWCollect] Heads Up
Not immediately. He hasn't been selling T-shirts for very long, and he didn't have the DaftShop storefront back in December when he sold the first two. Couple of bidders got overexcited on the first one, but when he stuck the second up right after it pretty much revealed they're fakes. I'm still posting the column because (1) he did try to deceive people, and (2) after all the crap he's thrown my way I just plain *want* to publicly humiliate this guy. - Original Message - From: Jim Leonard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 1:37 PM Subject: Re: [SWCollect] Heads Up Based on his auction details (DaftShop Funny T-Shirts and Stuff, plus the obviously silly description) I would think it would be pretty obvious that the shirt is not authentic.

Oh, I'll love to hear about that. BTW, one dude actually bid on it. I told him it is a fake, referencing your site. He wrote back that he asked the bidder about the authenticity of the t-shirt and if he can't prove it to remove him from the bidders list. Apparently he did. However, who in their right mind believes the story he put up for that auction? He states he has a t-shirt store and then that he happens to have found this brandnew looking Infocom shirt in a garage sale? How naive can people really be?

[SWCollect] Gosh, you look weird
Hey oldies, The pic of Chris on Mr morons auction brought a thought to my head. What do you guys look like? Or am I the only one having this morbid interest? Might be.. I know what that Pedro guy looks like, and I believe John has very long hair. But as for the rest of you, I have no clue. Not sure, maybe all of you want to remain anonymous. After all, this is a mailing list that maybe even that schmuck has signed up to, just to lurk or something.
