RE: [SWCollect] How did you find your Drash?

Or any of your most prized software posessions, for that matter? Any good stories out there? Marco (Infocom-IF) and I just bought a box of film, slides, etc., of some of the late-term (early- to mid-1990s) Infocom package designs from a guy at Activision. Photos they took for the package,

I guess my luckiest find (that I can recall) was probably Softporn Adventure. I got it complete for $5 on USENET. Ironically, although I knew it was the precursor to LSL, I had no idea of its value. Since I mostly collect RPGs I was hesitant to even buy it! Glad I did though :) Oh, and I got

Re: [SWCollect] How did you find your Drash?
