Greetings all, and Happy Holidays! Like all of you (I'm sure), I am a small bit obsessive. I get an idea in my head about a rare title, and I am driven to acquire it. Occasionally, it's easy, and sometimes it's tough, but I eventually uncover the 'object de desire'. I wondered what everyone else obsesses on in this group, and if you are as diligent as I am in my searches. Here are a few of the things that I have obsessed on, and perhaps we can give each other advice on how to continue our searches.
*Origin Audio CD Volume 1--****ACQUIRED!**** I found this quite by accident in an old used software store. The female-asian manager referrs to me as 'That Origin Guy', and she's nice enough to hold things for me. She handed it to me, and said,"I know this isn't a game, but it said Origin on it--you can have it for 5 dollars."--I searched for this one for well over a year, and sent at least 30 different emails on it, only to have it fall in my lap! :) *The Ultima Collection "CHINESE"--This one I have no idea how to get. It's a very nice box, with a velvet-lined interior. The trinket is a large, fist-sized clear crystal,with a limited edition number embedded in the center. Although it's a recent title (1998), I can't seem to get any leads on one. Tom Mage has one, and it truly is one of the best game presentations that I have ever seen....any help? *Ultima-Escape From Mt. Drash--I guess ALL of us would do anything we could to get ahold of this one. We ALL know the history, and as far as I know, there are only 3 known to exist (Garriot's, Edward Frank's, and Tom's partial). I have a lead on a 4th one, but I will doubt it's existence, until I get a pic or two(...we've all been down THAT road before!) :) Anyone know of any others out there? This being the greatest gathering of software collectors that I know of, most of us have acquired most of the standards in our genre..that leaves only the rarest of the rare. So tell us... What are YOUR obsessions? '...Preserving Worlds...'
