Hello,I'm new on this list so a little
introduction could be in order.I'm from Finland and I actively collect (and
research)classic adventures/RPGs for any systems;mainly Sierra, Lucas,
Tolkien, Ultima, ADD and SSI fantasy.My web page with collecting info

Hi!
Excellent update on your site!
Seems faster too.
It's just great to browse the many old cool game and fantasy covers
not to be found anywhere else on the net.
And all those item pics are honorable.
Though there is this one thing still; I sometimes like to open the
page in a new window that
Thanks for all the answers and welcomes!
(I would have joined sooner, but as Feldman said, one had to find here :)
BTW, how many people are on this list approximately?

My blood pressure boils just from reading this.
Unfortunately the character has plenty of negative in the

At least you seem to have gotten the bids

I was just browsing through a 1985 catalog from SSI and noticed two
posters
and a t-shirt I don't think I've seen before.
I've noticed those too; the Questron poster would be cool to have :).
The catalogs of old games have many memorabilia mentioned and sometimes
pictured.

Yeah this is crazy. And concerning.
First the prices doubled and now there's been over
500% rise _from that_ in many titles recently.

Which MSX version? The console version didn't have any maps but the
