No Joe, Drash is not on my list, never been :)...
As for registration cards it is my understanding that they are just consecutively
numbered and not game specific...? AFAIK this particular card can be
found in all other Sierra releases of that period as well.

 Are there many computer games that had less than 1000 sold 
 (Akalabeth sold 3)? Even if so I'm sure they would pop up if the price was 
 right, it's just because of the prices (note each auction uses info from a 
 previous auction) that Drash is showing up now. And it will dry up, not sure how 
 many before it does (but not a LOT).

I don't know how many Drashs have been sold... but I'd bet it was a
typical bargain bin item for quite some time. And you know that 'rarity'
is a quite ambiguous term, especially in our genre here  - it's largely
defined through supply and demand. It's not a mass hobby, thus the
actual amount of available copies is not as important.
And yes, meanwhile it's been offered much more often than some other
game, and IMO that's all what counts. ;)

Re: [SWCollect] Ultima cloth maps

2004-05-02 Thread Holger Bachert
 It's the cartridge version with red cover and anime cartoon art
 seen on the link in the middle:
 http://koti.mbnet.fi/psychic/_eng_games_ultima.html
 The cloth map looks just like the ones I've seen on the net, f.ex. here:
 http://vgmuseum.chaoticmonkey.com/origin/u3-map.jpg

Well, that map doesn't belong there, it's from one of the standard Origin
editions. 
The MSX Cartridge version is a conversion of the NES/FC Ultima: Exodus
and has no extras beside the manual while the MSX Disk version is a
remake of the computer version. That one has indeed a cloth map, but it
should look like this:
http://www.surfing.net/ultima/temp/u3_generic_4_map.jpg


 This is also why I'd like to find the link for the cloth map collection
 because I believe many variations were seen there.

I suppose you mean this one?

Re: [SWCollect] Ultima cloth maps

2004-05-01 Thread Holger Bachert
 BTW info on japanese Ultima-releases here?
 I have Ultima III MSX-2 version
 ( http://koti.mbnet.fi/psychic/_eng_games_ultima.html )
 and it came with a cloth map (was missing manual).
 But according to Ultima Collectors Guide it didn't come with one.
 So is that cloth map possibly from a different release?
 (I know the guide isn't updated anymore but might still be accurate on this.)
 I don't have a regular Ultima III version so can't compare in nature if
 they're different but the scans I've seen look pretty much the same as this.

Which MSX version? The console version didn't have any maps but the
Pony Canyon FD version had (just like all others in this series). What
does your map look like? The Pony Canyon one is very different from
other U3 maps...
