 Anyone know anybody who worked at Activision in 1993?

Tony Van most likely did... let me check his user account at MobyGames:

Yep, give him a yell -- he can probably help.  Give him a small paragraph
summary and tell him I sent you.

C'mon, give us a hint at least :) Was it a computer game on a cellphone or similar?

I can even imagine now... For direct MobyGames news, call Mr. Jim Leonard on 555-ZORK! ;)

Re: [SWCollect] New topic--Collectors UNITE!

2003-01-31 Thread Stephen S. Lee

I go away for a week and this mailing EXPLODES!  Sheesh :)

Anyway, I'm 29.  I'd tell you how many months but no one else seems to be
either, so there :)

Referring to another discussion: I also own an Ultima II large box.  In
fact, I don't have either of the other two package types available for IBM
at all -- this is the only U2 solo I have at all.  Some idiot put this up
with a Buy It Now! of $25.  Who was I to turn that down?  It had even
been up for like four hours when I nailed it, too.  The box is in rough
shape, unfortunately, so it's not worth the full $200 or so, but it's
still one of my great prizes.

 Damn, and I thought I was the youngest at 30 :-)

 But I'd say we roughly all belong to the same generation, born between

2003-01-31 Thread Chris Newman
This is usually good for a double take in a conversation, and what better timing. My
birthday is 6/6/66 and the person who did the sound for The Exorcist and, I think,
The Omen is named Chris Newman.

Don't make me angry. Just don't.

I can't even hint because anyone who monitors the list could figure out not
only what game it was but what it is used for.  Suffice it to say it is as
geeky as trying for Ultima as a phone number :)
