New Acquisitions Thread (image heavy)

Postby Collector » Sun Oct 12, 2008 3:45 am

There is a new acquisitions thread on Tawmis.com, so I thought that it might be nice to have one here. Post your new Sierra games here. I'll get things started, so here're my new ones:
Image

and
Image

Now I only need PQ1 VGA standalone. Next, an Impressions game:
Image

Sealed:
Image

I can now add a boxed KQ7 ver 2 (with DOS interpreter)to my duplicates list. Any takers?

I just bought these :D

BLADE RUNNER (rare BIG box)
Image

KING'S QUEST VII & KING'S QUEST VIII (dc)
Image
Image

LEISURE SUIT LARRY VI : SHAPE UP OR SLIP OUT (jc) - the Talkie version
Image

AND I actually just now found Woodruff and the Schnibble of Azimuth here - only 2 left, so if you're looking for the boxed version, it's there. :mrgreen:
Image
I know I already have it, but it's only the jc version with a ripped case cover.

Recently acquired (last week?) -

A10 Tank Killer - Seems almost like new. Box has next to no dings. Everything's included. Not my kind of game, really - but as a part of the Sierra family, figured I'd aquire it.

Image

Firehawk - This box is pretty banged up. Corner is smashed in on one side. And a portion of the actual box is ripped (where part of the layer is gone - so the box is whole - but there's a "V" shape missing from the back - where a layer of the back box was torn off). Never had Firehawk so I don't know what comes with it - but the essentials are included.

Image

Silpheed - Outside box is in good condition - minus a very small tear in the back. The interior box has seen some better days. Seems to have everything inside included.

So very envious of that boxed TBW...

Kind of old, so it may be missing a couple of things, but here's mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcWa7Hk9YKY

What I don't understand about that is the user names... say that Sycotroll posted in the thread on tawmis.com and he's not a user here - how would that user name appear once imported? Same thing if he imports the Sierra forum threads.

Perhaps the names would have no links, as if anon. poster.

Post your new Sierra treasures here (image heavy)

Postby Collector » Tue Oct 28, 2008 3:17 am

Note: This is a repost of a thread from Tawm's site. I think that it will be of more interest here. Last summer I spent a fair bit to fill some holes in my collection and started this thread. I wish that it could have been simply imported, but short of that I have used quotes for the other peoples' posts. If you wish to post your swag, do it in the New Acquisitions Thread

"I just went on a small eBay/Amazon spree. I say small because everything was under $15. Nothing rare, but some glaring holes in my collection. I already had most of these games in the form of parts of collections or CD only copies. What I found remarkable is the condition and completeness of these games for the price. All in mint condition, all complete down to the registration cards.

You can see the pristine condition these are in. I also got LSL casino for $1.50, but it was lacking the box. It was the last of the Larry series that I did not have in some form or another. I am still awaiting the arrival of KQ2, which is supposed to be in "like new" condition. I shall see."

I paid more for my Code Name: ICEMAN - that I know for certain.

Well-purchased!

Cool. Maybe now you can hack Codename: ICEMAN and make it less impossible. ;)

Should I add those to my collection as well, Collector? You know my tastes.
