[SWCollect] Game Music

I just found the following site: http://www.mirsoft.info/ This place is fantastic -- if a game has MIDI or MOD music, it has probably been ripped and put here. They also have ripping guides if you have a game they don't have. For all other games that use custom formats or hardware, let me know

Have a couple keys on a cheap metal ring. Keys are silvery/tanished color, three circles on the top of each key. Bottom is like key that fits into one of those REALLY old locks, the kind you could push the key through the lock from the other side and drop it on the carpet, then pull under the door

> I didn't think we would ever try to place a value on items. Is that a goal? Not to me. I was under the impression we were just discussing generalities, like "Are PC games in general worth more than other systems?", as opposed to "How *much* more are PC games worth than other systems?"

Oh sure, there are separate files for each version. I have an original EGA Test Drive for example, an Accolade title from this era. There is only 1 disk, with files for both versions. The games were usually small enough to fit on a 360 with room to spare. AoA was ' 85 if I recall so the base was m
