Hey, I've tried to PM you but it doesn't seem to be working. Anyway, dunno if these might be what you're lookin' for, but I've got:
Micro Machines V3 (1998)
Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds (1998)
Master of Orion III (2003)

I'm also quite sure I gotta have the original Age of Empires II somewhere in the basement, so if you're interested in that one, let me know and I'll try to find it.
Should you be interested in of these, let me know : )

Hey so, back to my games collection.. what about a Mac game?  I have Kings Quest V in the hard box (bigger box, put together like a board game box is), on 5 1/4" (or 3 1/2"?
Can't remember) floppies.  It's in excellent condition.  I think I picked it up at a garage sale for a few bucks thinking it'd be worth something in the coming years, being that it's in such great shape.

EDIT:  Nevermind, looks like it's not worth much.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kings-Quest-V-5-Absence-Makes-the-Heart-Go-Yonder-Manual-MAC-adventure-game-/251056531523?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a7422a843

Yours probably would be worth a bit more, since you have the box. But the problem is I already have this one. Smiley

I have a handful of older games, and always kept the boxes/manuals for them.  The only two I can think of off the top of my head are Indy Car Racing II and StarSeige, but I know I have others.  Let me know if you're interested.  Boxes probably aren't in that great of shape, but I know I have them.

I would be mostly interested in adventure/rpg games from the 90s and the 80s. But also some other classics like Doom, Wolfenstein, Heretic and many others.

If you have a list please pm me.

Ok. But at less then $20 at the time for a decades old shrink wrapped game?

What were you expecting to pay?

Maybe it isn't the price, just this particular title is not very interesting to me. If you had some adventure games at that price I would be more interested.

It is full retail box. The shrink wrap is 'tight' and it does have signs of age.

I am in the USA.  20 btc before shipping though your location is going to drive up cost.

Sorry, that's definitely too expensive for me (was even at the BTC price when this was posted, sorry for no replying earlier).

I have an Impossible Mission II for PC still shrink wrapped.  Interested?

Is it in its retail box or just jewel case?

How much do you want for it? Are you in Europe by any chance?

I have an uncountable number of 1990's computer games! However, most of them do not have their original packaging, if even the CD case. A lot of them are also old grade school education games, like jumpstart type stuff. But, I do have others too.

Any luck with the list?

Hi,

Unless you have some really unique stuff, I would rather go for the ones in retail boxes etc. Any chance you could create a list (only those in boxes)? Thanks.

Do you want to buy old Z80 games on audio cassettes? I have some 50 cassettes, each with 5-10 games on it.

Sorry, no. PC games only.

Thanks for your response. Any chance you could email me the complete list?

Also, there are some details that I pay attention to, like:

- what kind of box is the game in (big carton box, dvd box etc)
- is it original release or some kind of re-release like sold-out, kixx, white label etc
- is the original content of the box intact (manuals, disks etc)
- is the release language English

Please don't take the effort of putting those details on the list, because it is quite possible that I own some of them or wouldn't be interested in some.

I will pay for the shipping. What country are you in?

As for the price per game it really depends on what you have got there.

Thanks.

If you have any vintage (released before year 2000) PC games in good condition let me know. Ideally if you have the original retail boxes, manuals etc. I may be interested in buying some for Bitcoins.

Thanks.
