If we're talking monetary value, there are tons of more games I could mention. The market is completely insane. Starcross saucers don't fetch as much as some of these games, such as Treasure Hunter, Alice: An Interactive Museum, etc.

Collectible meaning "high monetary/trade value" or "game worth owning until end of time because it is a *good* game"? For "value" there are the common answers: Ultima compilations, Elder Scrolls series, Neverhood. For "because it's a great game" there are many, many more... For example, Half-Life. It's the most common game in the world but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be in a collection -- it's got one hell of an atmosphere and was responsible for several fundamental changes in the industry. Same for Fallout, Deus Ex, and many more I could mention that are, fundamentally, great games. > - Planescape: Torment.

I just picked up CDs and manuals only (no box) for $14. I've heard it's great. -- Jim Leonard ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) World's largest electronic gaming project: http://www.MobyGames.com/ A delicious slice of the demoscene: http://www.MindCandyDVD.com/ Various oldskool PC rants and ramblings: http://www.oldskool.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
