[SWCollect] Silas Warner

Title: Message I just received word today that Silas Warner has just died.  A very sad event and one that is slightly related to me since I suggested that we recreate Castle Wolfenstein back in 1992 (Wolfenstein 3D).  At least I got to meet Silas, hear him speak on MUSE Software, and hang ou

I'm with Howard on this one. From what I recall, the plan was actually to release a number of games in the "Tales" series, the first one being the Bard's Tale... this was to be followed by things like The Knight's Tale, The Wizard's Tale... hence why BT1 was actually Tales of the Unknown: Vol 1

First time I see that one too... interesting. I think the first ever release was the one with the orange booklet in a baggie. Does anyone know for sure? I think, however, that Zork/Zork I wins hands down for the most package variations! Dan Chisarick wrote: I think Castle Wolfenstein should wi

I think Castle Wolfenstein should win the "most package variants of any software title ever". Not counting overseas packing and I don't think they had 'budget' packing, there's like 4-5 variants of the Apple II version perhaps? I never saw this one before: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.

Most of these TRS-80 large manual adventures sell for around $15 - $20.  I see Xenos a lot less than the others, though.  (Pyramid 2000, Bedlam, Raaka-Tu, etc.)  I think when I got mine I traded what I considered to be a $30 item.   - Original Message - From: Freddie Bingh
