took me over 5 years to get the nintendo game dragon warrior 4
it took over 2 years to get super nintindo games - kirby's dreamland 3 and kirby's super star and harvest moon.
for computer games - over 2 years to get touche - with box and manual and vampire diaries with manual.
bud tucker - cd only, chewy escape from f5 with manual, quest for glory and king's quest collection - with manuals and terratopia 0 cd only - over a year to get.
nickie and i talked about monet and she predicted it wouldn't be available very long and turns out she was right. how glad i am that i kept the one i got in a trade a while back.
games that are still elusive for me are these. super ninendo game - terranigma
pc games -
nephi's quest
nigel's world
bluebeard & new robinson with english subtitles
twilight zone

I want to get Obsidian-have tried to bid for it on e-bay but the price always goes up too high-is it really as good as everyone seems to think? Also want to get Pandora Directive-love Tex murphy and have UAKM and Overseer.

Hi there bigmamma1.. smile How high is the bidding going? I have Obsidian and I liked it a lot. Its very unusual and has some features never since duplicated that are quite novel and interesting. I wouldn't pay more than 60-65 US dollars for it though. Pandora Directive, on the other hand, is one of my big time favorites, so I might pay as much as 80-90 bucks for it. This is all very subjective, of course. Just depends on how badly you want to score the game! laugh

There have been several brand new Obsidians on eBay lately. No need to pay $60. You could probably get one for under $40.

Trying to buy Obsidian on ebay (even though it's not that rare of a game) was an eye-opening experience. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" /> I would bid up to what I thought was pretty fair (i.e. around $50) and kept getting outbid. But curiously, within a few days, I would get an email from "somebody" who had another way I could buy Obsidian. eek They had "lots" of the game, brand new, in a jewel case, sealed. I'm sure you know the drill. It had "PIRATED" screaming at me. I will not buy pirated games knowingly (although I have borrowed games to play if I can't buy them....case in point "Ghosts") and I mean knowingly because the first time I bought a game on ebay (Azrael's Tear) I ended up with 50 pirated copies. When I fessed up how naive I was here at GB, it generated a chuckle or two. lol

With Reah too! That must have been a Project Two Interactive warehouse. smile

If only they could find an old Synergy Inc./Lankhor warehouse...or even a small storage unit in Prague, I'd be happy.

Looking for Yellow Brick Road by any chance...? smile

One or two elusive games, that's the hallmark of a really great collection.

bigmamma1 -

Try Gametz for Obsidian. I found it there and almost bought it but the lady who had it for sale (Diane Wegmann) was on vacation and didn't answer my email until 2 months later. By that time I'd found it elsewhere. She still has it listed. Also our very own housewife (Liz) has it listed there too.

Good luck!

Finding Yellow Brick Road is definitely tough. Finding its sequel is 100X tougher.

Nickie, I haven't heard anything about either the Twilight Zone game or Curses. Do you (or anyone else) have info on these? Thanks!

I've been looking for Gene Machine for ages. It never comes up on ebay. Somebody from Italy offered to sell it me for over $100, but as I told her, I don't collect games, I just want to play them. Oh well, I probably couldn't get it to run anyway.

I'm still looking for the Roberta Williams Anthology. In fact, I've just put my Sherlock Holmes: Rose Tattoo up for trade in exchange for it in the trading post. The first Laura Bow game was the first one I played on a computer (with graphics), and I have wanted the anthology for a couple of years.
Happy gaming,
Beth

Every game I don't own.
I am not joking, since there are so few adventure games availebly in Norway I can buy those I find.
