Those Space Quests look familiar :cry:
If i may ask, how much did you pay for that Ecoquest 2, Collector? On eBay they're trying to sell those for about $150 with buy-it-now.

I got it on Amazon for $39.88. I usually don't like to get the old games from Amazon since it is so much harder to tell exactly what you are buying, but for Ecoquest 2 for that price with box I couldn't not get it.

As Rudy said, I got it on eBay with a "Buy it now" option for all three as a lot. I was just luck enough to snag it before anyone else found it. It was guaranteed to go fast. The poor seller had no idea what they could have gone for. I am leery to buy AGI games on Amazon that had an SCI remake. There is next to no way to tell if you'll get the AGI original or the SCI remake of the game. About the only way to tell is they say how many disks are included. Of course you have to know how many came in both the AGI and SCI versions.

Another Sierra Original, harder to find than others: talky version of LSL6. It also has enhanced graphics compared to other releases, including those in the collector's editions. Already had it, just recovered the box now.

So you'd get them and sell the ones you don't need.

Ideally. But I am not sure I could sell SQII, III and IV (which I think it's what it was) for like 30 bucks (or 10 bucks a pop). Because if I buy an old Sierra game for more than 10 bucks, she might not be pleased with me (considering I have it on like three different SQ collections) and I am just trying to get it for collection purposes. :)

Who knows, she might. She did just buy me a statue (Kurse, you can see in this thread)... So who knows. :)
