RE: [SWCollect] Ouch
Again .. I still disagree for the simple fact that a game can re-shrinkwrapped and one can obtain the same quality of wrap that most games were shipped in (the softer, more pliable wrap). Take a hole punch to it and you will fool most people. Add to that all of the games that are floating about that were re-shrinwrapped after being returned to a software store. I, as well, know about this having worked at Babbage's and Egghead. A LOT more re-wrapping went on at Babbage's though as we had pretty low standards when it came to quality, you had to have written on the box to get it defected (generalization). How do you guys use this scale anyway? I've had games quoted to me a few times based on this, and in my experience, the grades are always over-blown unless it is something from Chris' store. A shrinkwrapped game that has bowing on the side or a crease on the flap is not MS (just something I've been told and sold before). There is a valley between F(S) and MS, yet many people have no problem liberally throwing MS about when it does not apply. Personally, I don't grade games as my perspective will be different than yours so I just send pictures.

RE: [SWCollect] Ouch
I still maintain the guide is confusing since you have one situation where a grade and modifier can not be used together. The highest level should simply be Mint and if sealed it gets the (S). If you insist on the "Mint Sealed" rating then it should be moved out of the same category as NM, F, VG, G, and ED since it does not share the same level of application. That being said NM should also be changed to have a definition that reads as near mint, i.e. "Almost perfect, only the slightest blemish precludes it from being Mint". It seems to me that the biggest problem is that the scale deviates from other, much more established grading scales in use in other fields of collecting. I can not find any scales that define a near mint rating as actually being mint and this is the biggest problem I have with this list. I don't see how having shrink-wrap, means that we need a scale that deviates from other scales. I know it won't be changed but I just want to it to be known that there are others who disagree with it.

RE: [SWCollect] Ouch
For me, the scale is rather useless at any rate. We buy a lot of stuff on eBay and the scale has no use there, we are lucky to be able to get a half way decent condition from the seller without offending them in some way by asking detailed questions. When trading amongst ourselves I find people almost always tend to overrate what they have so having a scale is useless if it is interpreted differently. In the end, pictures are the only scale that matters to me.

RE: [SWCollect] Is this particular version rare?????
Rare opened? Maybe 2 or 3 a year on eBay though this is only the second Apple ][ I've seen and I just won the other opened for $52. Rare sealed, even with the advertising stickers on it? Of course. Still, I think it would sell for more if it was the IBM version. I have the IBM version shrink-wrapped and since it is the same package as the Apple ][ then I probably won't bid on this. I had always assumed the Apple ][ release was the same packaging as the C64 but this shows it is not. I suppose there may be Apple or IBM releases in the same packaging as the C64 and vice versa but I have yet to see them. http://lucasarts.vintagegaming.org/maniac.php Freddie Lucasarts Museum - http://lucasarts.vintagegaming.org > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 9:51 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [SWCollect] Is this particular version rare? > > http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3089791979&; > ssPageName=ADME:B:RECO:US:2 > > > -- > This message was sent to you because you are currently > subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.

I guess the Zork Trilogy is as valuable as the Suspended Mask now :rolleyes: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3081032440 .. and to think I only paid maybe $20 for a complete Zork Trilogy a few months ago on eBay and this one had the Zorkmid still in a little baggie.
RE: [SWCollect] Sierra/Lucas/Tolkien/Ultima/AD&D/SSI - info and questions
The KIXX re-releases of the Lucasfilm games have very little value. Just $5-$10 for Maniac Mansion and Zak. I've found reports that the Enhanced Maniac Mansion contains a poster of Zak McKracken (instead of Star Wars) in the game room. I loaded the Maniac Mansion from my DOTT Tri-Box CD and it was the V1 (not enhanced), same with the Maniac Mansion on the DOTT CD in the Lucasarts Archives. I did that because I found it commonly reported that the enhanced MM debuted in DOTT. I then loaded Zak and MM from the Lucasarts Classics (from 1992) and voila there are the enhanced versions of both (As reported by SCUMMVM). I think it is rather safe to assume this is where the enhanced versions made their debut. Now if you were going to play Zak, you would still want to play the 256 color FM Towns version.

The "hi-res" version if Zak that you have is the FM Towns (Japanese PC "Console") 256 color version that is playable on the SCUMM emulator. I do own a shrinkwrapped copy of this one. I do believe the "enhanced" maniac mansion is the one from DOTT as it was not released on the FM Towns.

I'll include that. Since I only have my sealed copy of Zak, I only have one of them. Do you have both of these?

RE: [SWCollect] Sierra/Lucas/Tolkien/Ultima/AD&D/SSI - info and questions
Hi Jukka, I'm the one who is going to manage the Lucasfilm section of the CURIOUS ratings. I do think I have almost everything you have listed on your webpage. I am going to be putting up a webpage that details Lucasfilm/Lucasarts games, focusing on the adventure games with each game receiving its own page with a breakdown of the versions I am aware of. I'll need your help on some of this. When I have it semi-complete I will give you the URL so you can add any information to it. Here is a semi-complete list of what I have: Labyrinth CIB Labyrinth Cassette (CIB) Maniac Mansion (Sealed) First Release, straight letters Maniac Mansion (CIB) First Release, Letters with Meteors Maniac Mansion (Re-Release) Maniac Mansion (CIB) Famicom Maniac Mansion (CIB) NES Maniac Mansion (CIB) NEW Hint Book Zak McKracken (Sealed) Zak McKracken (Sealed) FM Towns Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade (CIB) Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade (CIB) Fm Towns Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade (CIB) Action Game Loom (CIB) Loom (CIB) CD Version Loom (CIB) FM Towns Monkey Island (CIB) Monkey Island (CIB) CD Version Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis (CIB) Monkey Island 2 (CIB) Day of the Tentacle (CIB) Day of the Tentacle (CIB) Triangular Boxed Version (this one --> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3079582111 ) Full Throttle (CIB) Full Throttle (CIB w/ Bandana) Hint Books for all of the games (except the MM Famicom, that is hard one to get) . And so on (Sam & Max, Grim Fandango, etc).. Some things I still need: Labyrinth (Famicom) Indiana Jones & The Fate of Atlantis (FM Towns) Monkey Island (FM Towns) Monkey Island 2 (FM Towns) Full Throttle (the attached image) (I need more info on this one) Monkey Island Sega CD ** I am almost 100% certain there is no other versions of Zak I can get the FM Towns games at any time really, but only if I wish to pay $200+ each for them. The FM Towns monkey island games are the rarest where Loom is the most common. Thanks Freddie <>
