Wow.
Judging from the pictures I'm assuming some of the manuals and stuff are missing, but nevertheless, SQ3 BOX! ;D
Cool! Good luck on your bidding endeavors.
Congrats. Those seem to be in much better condition than my old Sierra boxes. I don't know how the hell I manage to get them so worn - at least I stopped lending the boxes to friends after certain people lost my Colonel's Bequest magnifying glass and my KQ collection manual (with all the copy protection, argh).
It's a good thing I don't have a credit card - buying old games off e-Bay would ruin me. I'll have to settle for garage sales. I recently found Heart of China in excellent condition for $2. Unfortunately there's no Sierra product catalog in the box, which used to be my favorite part of the games - I could spend hours just reading descriptions of games (the 10th anniversary catalog is particularly great! :))
Congratulations on the winning bid! :)
Garage -> I don't know if it's wise of me to point this out, but I don't use a credit card for Ebay. I always send money orders.
I also loved those catalogs. I remember staring agonizingly at the entry for Space Quest 3 in the catalog that we got with KQ3. I must have really been obsessed, because my dad surprised me with a copy of it once it was released. I still can't believe it disappeared over the years...

Ooh, Heart of China, one of the most underappreciated, unplayed games out there. A definate favorite.
I recently bought KQ 1-5 on three cds and KQ6 in the box with everything still in it for two bucks at a yard sale. Now I try to check yard sales as much as possible.
I wish I could find my copy of HoC... I love that game.

Anywats. That is so cool rode. I wish i had the money to do this. I'd love to have the SQ3 box.
Heart of China was under the Dynamix label.
My favorite part was shooting the snakes.

You are all a keg load of dick shitters.
Why use 'Dick stroking poofter fuck' as your signature
This only highlights it relavence to YOU
Why should we?
You don't have "Retarded Incest Rape Victim" in your signature.
ohh, great another ricecake/kickme guy.
You are all a bunch of penis licking, pussy pussy eaters
GET A LIFE and play some GOOD games made by REAL
programmers who know how to make a GOOD game.
hey buy the ways Chis i like your relevance email too ;D sacboy@hornbag.com
I wouldnt be too worried. This guy can't program at all.
obviously, ricecake/kickme/JL Okins/ Chis are the same homosexual person. Ohh, by the ways for future reference, my life dosent have anything in it.. so not much you can make fun of me about U G4Y H$x0R5!!!!

OKAY but only IF you stop writing RANDOM words in CAPITAL because it HURTS my EYES and I can't PLAY the GOOD GAMES by real PROGRAMMERS.
Are you also a gay cowboy like your friend Chis?
J L0kins, isn't it kind of hard to type with ur head in your ASS...PRIN!!
J L0kins, atleast we have the least bit knowledge about programing. It's sad to hear your still having trouble clicking the correct mouse button to open a file.
Mitar, cool it -- you don't need to post two replies in the space of two minutes.
He has a point guys...I mean more time, money, and work is being put into the new DOOM3 (TM, Copyright, Batman) engine then probobly every adventure game engine combined.
Who needs literature or storylines or art or character development or a plot or a deeper understanding when you can sever an alien demons head through its asshole at 74 fps bump mapped?
I mean..All we do is read Science fiction right? Not like any of us have ever picked up a book on Three demenional algorithims...or know what the hell a NURB is from a polygon. I know for damn sure robots are evil...That is what the books tell me...
/me goes off in the Lala land of ignorance and incompetence where he is welcomed and loved.
I use it in my signature because I find it sophomoric and humorous; humorous beecause it was written by an imbecile. Go make some games you fartknocker.
:P
Fellas, I can understand your new found hatred towards this odd guy, I even back you up on it, but please don't use the word "gay" in reference to him as a derogatory statement. That brings down the gays. Gay people are no where near this way. In fact, every gay person I know are not jerks. Actually, I think if everyone was gay, then there would be no robberies too... thats not what gay people do...
anyways, back on track... Chis, you are a moron.
Eh, I'd give up on it. The word "gay" used to mean a completely different thing, might as well let it devolve into an insult and let some other word fill in the role of the "common homosexual synonym"
Waitaminute -- two spamming rejects from kikme's ass call everyone "Dick stroking poofter fuck", and you two write sweet FA about it.
Then I call one of them a "gay cowboy" and suddenly you both get on your sanctimonious high-horse.
Smell the shit your shovelling, guys.
Besides, I meant "happy cowboy"! ;D
Is 'poofter' a real insult? I'd like to know, because I've never heard it before and wouldn't mind being the first one to spread it around here.
Why are tou defending the ass hole prodders. You all need to start playing some GOOD games and stop making these homosexual, gay, poofer style lame games.
ps. stop trying to defend yourselves you are all stupid ass intruders
Ok, you win! We'll shut down the forums now.

this is getting kind of stupid. maybe we ought to lock this thread...it isnt really getting us anywhere
Don't lock. This is fun. JLO is a Poofter Fuck. And its proders, not a spelling tournament though so :P
Actually, I think it's us AGSers who are poofter fucks, according to Chis.
BTW, does anyone have a stupid ass?
According to J.Lo, I like to intrude them.
Call me Nostradamus... I predicted that everybody leaving Gen Gen would put all the dog poo in Talk & Chat instead and was I right?
Oh yes.
Is it joie de vivre or is it je ne sais quoi ?
Hey there ass lickers. Time for you to stop suckin' balls.
You dicks are the biggest bunch of turds ever. Fuck you all. Go to hell.
You all put the sex in homosexual
and the dick... in male ass.
Fuck you - penis head
Enuf say. Time for the lockey!
No, let not lock it -- Chis is right!
We do eat balls and adventure games suck.
That's why I'm leaving this forum forever -- I need to stop making adventure games and focus on not eating balls.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (loser)
Yes, lock by all means.
YEAH DCM!!! I wont make anymore games either!! Chis are you a single homo :D :-* ?
Is someone gonna explain what a 'poofter' is to me?
Anyways, back to my original, good topic.
I got the games today. They are in amazing condition. All the manuals are in mint shape, and the boxes have absolute minimum shelf wear. The only thing that's missing as far as I can tell is the pig-snout from SQ3. :-\
And now I bring you more great Ebay Adventure Auctions (That I'm not bidding on, and are therefore useful to you):
Monkey Island 1 cd-rom (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3039216208&category=11047)

LSL 1 original (box looks a little worn) (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3038649872&category=3545)
/me feels lucky that he got MI1CD and LoomCD already.
It's only a matter of time before every Loom and MI cd is in the collection of an AGSer.
rodekill, your such a luck son of a father! Is it the adventure or action version of Indy3?

Aww... This forum DOES suck, we never get real trolls. :(
Does that mean we get to be all suspicious and accusative and start pointing fingers at each other?
It was Pumaman!!1!
I suspect Nellie!
...and before anyone else can get to it, I suspect myself as well. I never did like that me.
Ok, i agree, this has gone far enough. I know who 'Chris' and 'J L0kins' are. They're guys in my class who are kinda sick of me going on these forums and that. Like i'm always on these forums during our 'study' periods. They don't really like adventure games, as you can see.
Well, yeah, sorry for this. I just let them do it cos i can't really tell them what to do, and yeah. So... don't ban him...
Tell them that they've inspired me to write a crappy game about them ruining my thread of greatness.
Heh Imaginary lame characters (though this time it's not that imaginary) often leads to inspiration of short fun games, such as those little willy gamez, orb blanc, andy p3n1s gamez, ert.
Great, now everyone is going to think it's me.
Thanks.
Aushor, I was under the impression that was punny(lingo for punaman) doing all that. ???
You guys really are a bunch of stupid,
horny-ass gay programmers,

That backward's guest made me realise:
DGMacphee is an anagram of "Camp Hedge"
or Daniel Machphee -> "Mad Penile ache"
And Derek Stockley is an anagram of "Reeky desk clot"
Las Naranjas is an anagram of "Sans Anal Jar"
Captain Mostly -> "My Satanic Plot"
OneThinkingGal => The Ink Ganglion,
Gilbert Cheung => Chug treble gin
Eric Feurstein => Fiercest urine
Linus Larsson => Nolan Sisters
Mark Lovegrove =>OK Gravel Mover
Telemachus Stavrapolous => Savour Helm's Lacate Soup!
Not forgetting "Kills traced unto un" or "U cant stun rodekill"
and CJ is an anagram of JC!
EDIT:
Can you spot the deliberate mistake and who the penultimate ones are?
Whatabout me?
Trapezoid => Oz Raped It
"Can you spot the deliberate mistake"
There's no T in Linus Larsson :p

So who did all the posting ??? I'm stupid and confused. I thought it was punny.
How mystical.
As a matter of fact, the novel "Gulliver's Travels" is one big anagram for "Don Quijote".
I tried it myself.
Ah shut up, Anal ID.

And keep us away from Chis Shannon, whose face looks like a fart and has a hermaphrodite mother who was fucked by Mr T."

ey, what is a poofter? I made a note of every single violent word in this topic, to make my vocabulary list longer ;) Pretty cool, thanks chis! ;D
PS : Chis is a genetic manipulated horsedick, that I flush every morning again through the toilethole with my poopies and pee, and I dont even notice chis, cause he is too much deformed into shit, that you can't really tell the difference! ;)
What a wonderful grasp of the English vocabulary Chris has, its good to know the thousands the tax payer have paid hasn't been wasted in his education
If you remove all the vulgar slang from his posts he actually says nothing at all !
Erm minimi,DG posted a link explaining what a poofter was….. unless your coming out of the closet maybe you don't want it in your nick!
tc
Paranoia
Still no-one worked out those unidentified anagrams, then?
BTW, a poofter is someone whos camp, or homosexual, usually. Or, a swinger.
lol, ooops, im going to change my nick straight away! :P
Lol@this thread.
At first i thought Eric "MrsColossal" Feurenstein was Chis cause he had the reference, and i thought it was a funny joke, tho' i did first thought of DG, sorry :)
Anyway congrats on your purchase rode.
Well still lol@DG whos really trying to kill the Chis.

Hero's Quest Box, QFG manual? Hmm...
Rode, that my friend, is a *RARE* copy of the Quest for Glory series inwhich a Hero's Quest box was used... you should buy that now! Don't tell anybody.... :D
stupid idiots on eBay, I like how the owner is trying to get away with that... "a solid box" what does that mean?!?
*This was a joke...
I actually already have a copy of Hero's Quest, I was just wondering why the manual didn't correspond with the game.
Is it possible that when they changed the name, they reprinted all the manuals, but had loads of game boxes left over so they kept using them until they ran out?
Otherwise it does seem rather odd that they don't match up.
I don't think that'd be possible, since they were forced to change the name of the game because of this (http://users3.ev1.net/~nate555/heroquest/toc.htm).
It still bothers me that it had to change to quest for glory...
Hero's quest was probably the best game I ever had when I was a kid....I'd love to have that box and manual again....
Whats up noodle dicks. I see that you all still remain nerds, and loveless wonders, (unless we are talking about your male companions). Sorry i've been gone so long.

Hey Chis, long time no see!
Oh, Auhsor, know what would be really cool? If you gave us these guys' full names. Numbers and addresses too, if you want.
Chis will never reach the legendary status that Little Willy has.

I'd love to get my hands on those old games with the boxes and stuff. I've always thought myself deprived cos i've never got to get the stuff that comes in the game boxes, cos i've never really bought any games, and when they first came out i was a bit too young to think of buying them... Plus my brother just copied them from friends.
Maybe when i get a job one day, i might buy some stuff off there.

okay. who the hell is this chis-guy? he must be pretty loser himself by the judge of his hobbies... I mean, who the hell wants to brag about profanity?
12341 is the biggest poofter gay alive. go eat sum bum you homo. I hate you get raped by auhsor
the name's 12431 you stupid little 12 year old shit! someone ban his ip or something if it's possible
well, he obviously wasn't talking about you
do you have a brother who is younger and therefor has a smaller number than you?
12431, read over the rest of the topic. The whole banning thing has been discussed. PLUS, you can't just ban someone for getting your name wrong. I'd have to ban anyone who called me 'verywierdguy'
Chis, if you're still here, could you insult me next? Could it involve the word 'pineapple' if possible. I like pineapples.
DG - can I have 5 of those shirts?
i don't want to even think about what chis would do to somebody with a pineapple. I hope he takes the skin off first. yow.
I encourage Chis' behaviour, because it's the only time this thread gets a response.
Doesn't anyone want stuff? How can you not want stuff!?
bah
i own them all already
unlike some people i experienced these treasures when they came out, i didn't wait 10 years for the interweb
I want every game you've mentioned that I don't already own. Sad thing is I'm poor and I lack a credit card or a checking account. I hate paying for things with money orders.
Man, what I'd kill to get to play Grim Fandango finally.
It still surprises me that people have trouble getting hold of GF. Hell, you can still buy it in the shops here. Alongside CMI and BASS (yeah, I know that it's free, but you can pay for the CD if you want...)
I love the EA Classics range here in Aus.
- Punch
Edit: Wow, DW sold for a fair amount. And here's me sitting with 2 copies of the CD. Time to look into that, methinks.
The US is very different in that respect, I guess. GF was unavailable in my area about 6 months after it came out. Other adventure games never get shelf space or, at best, a couple copies of each game. The newest Sims expansion Pack or FPS, however, you could find a copy for every person in the US at your nearest Wal-Mart.
I don't see what's so hard with using a money order to pay for things. That's how I do it. Takes like two minutes.
Unless it's not the same system everywhere...

I can't imagine what it would be other than "You give money, you get money order."

You are thinking of the inferior Mappomedia Industries website.
Mine is 100% bonafide.
However, I could use some more slave lab... I mean, employees for my T-Shirt making scam... I mean, scheme! SCHEME!
I wish I knew how to use backspace.sdfs
Dmanurit!!!
I wasn't going to post anymore of these because it seemed pointless, but this one is interesting.
R@RE! (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3050710044&category=11047)
Fatman adventures on eBay!!! Rock on, Ionias.
Sorry to bump this thread up once more but I thought Chis needs to learn from the best:

Not that anyone wants this to go on anymore.
--Pessi from FINLAND
Ah the good old times, at least the LW games are all classic. Anyone care to make a Chis game? I bet not!
I could see someone doing RON: Dick Strocking Poofter Fucks
Ok, I claim bragging rights on this one.
Crown Jewel (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3052097445)
Yeah, the picture sucks ass, the description is vague, but man, would you have passed it up?
6 bucks. Man, you are the ebay king, rode.
Holy crap, rode. That rules. 6 dollars!? Absurd! Even if it's in crappy condition, that's a steal.
On a somewhat related note:
I was in San Francisco and found Loom - Macintosh Disk version (in pristine condition, with the music tape) in a garage sale. It was lying in a box labeled "free". I was so happy finding this for free, that I gave the lady of the sale two dollars for it anyway. :)
Wow... That's pretty amazing, especially with the tape too. Man. You really lucked out.
I starting to miss chis man. I liked him in a really hateful way.
It would be interesting if a game where to be made about Chis and his little friend(s). And you have to beat them up and force them to go have sex with each other?
(I want to see a censored version. If it's not censored, then I'm not drawing the animations!)

You're quite smart aren't ya, eh? :)

I think I made out pretty well here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3627219185&category=182&rd=1). (Wartrade, the winning bidder, is me btw.) And before anyone asks, I already have Full Throttle (in fact, I bought it as soon as it came out), but I lost the original box years ago and I'm a sucker for original boxes.
Let us know if you get the promotional bandana in the box. Very rare.
The what?? I never got anything of the sort in my original copy
Neither did I, but its real. Here's a site with a small pic of it to prove it.
http://www.xs4all.nl/~loom/lecness/merchandise.html
Ah, exclusive to pre-ordered copies. That's got to pretty damned rare indeed.
EDIT: Well, I do have one item on that page, the Fate of Atlantis poster. I have it hanging in my room and it is awesome.
I got a shirt with Grim Fandango that no-one else seems to have.
Was that a preorder thing too?
No, I got it instore.

That Hero's Quest auction was on my watch list, but I will respectfully remove it ;)
AND WHY DOES NOBODY CARE ABOUT MY NEW AWESOME SHIRT!? CLICK HERE!! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3355256405&category=32991&rd=1)
4 bucks for that shirt? sounds like a steal!
Er, no. $37. But it was worth it! I've been wanting one of these shirts since 1996 when I bought Full Throttle!
boy is my face red. I could have sworn it said 4 bucks on the site...maybe thats where the bidding started..
Well, SHIPPING was 4 bucks...
aaaahhh, that might have been it.
/me is glad he doesnt shop ebay
Got my original SQ box today. It's in moderately ok shape. About what I expected.
The big news is that in the box was... The Droids R Us coupon! The one before Toys R Us forced them to change it to Droids B Us!
/me thrusts towards nothing in particular.
PS: That's a sweet shirt Remixor. I'd like to get a good closeup of that graphic and redraw it in vectors.
"C Remo
I am Chris Remo. Here you learn about me.
Warhammer
I buy Warhammer stuff on Ebay. I collect Dwarfs and Night Goblins in Warhammer Fantasy and Orks and Squats in Warhammer 40k"
Bwahahahahahahahaaah.
I got a special surprise today.
In a desperate attempt to complete my SQ3 set, I went and bid on another copy.
I got it today.
I'm 99% sure that it's factory sealed. There's still a Radio Shack price tag on it for $69.95. It's in mint condition other than one small dent on the bottom of the sleeve, and the shrinkwrap isn't one of those crappy homemade jobs.
Insane. How could anyone have a game lying around for 14 years without ever opening it?
I am happy.
Too lazy to create links to all these auctions, but:
http://cgi6.ebay.co.uk/ws1/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewBidItems&userid=berianwilliams&completed=1&all=1&rows=200
I've bought about 25 adventures off ebay over the last month or so...
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws1/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewBidItems&userid=wartrade&completed=1&sort=3&all=0&rows=25
There's the list of mine. It only has my most recent 12, I guess it only lists ones within the past month or something.
I'm thinking of selling a few knifes from my collection...
How should I do???
Sell them, but pour fake blood into the package before you send them. See if anyone says anything.
QuoteSell them, but pour fake blood into the package before you send them. See if anyone says anything.
;D Oh Yeah! That'll work nicely with that 12" (30 cm) Bear hunting knife! ( Like anyone would be dumb enough to go bear hunting with a knife...)
I hate being poor. One of you better buy this so we know some dumbass doesn't get it. (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3080026036&category=62053)
Nice thats the rare SQ1 box!
:o "Droids R us coupon!!!"
I have SQ3 original complete, and I'd love to have the other two too, but with shipping and everything, it would cost a whole lot.
Yeah, I actually already have a copy of the original SQ1 with Droids R Us coupon, but that copy looks to be in better shape.
My coupon is mint however.
;D
Fuck it, I'm gonna go for it. As long as it doesn't hit ridiculous prices, I'm gonna bid-war for it :)
EDIT: ha ha, stupid rapidly devaluating American Dollar, it's not that expensive after all.
Heh, this thread pops up again. I thought it never would.
Its a pity I got no money to buy these awesome games in the original boxes, but I don't have a job. Oh well
Chis, please don't do that.
Heh, looking at the bid history, I see at least one person from the AdventureGamers.com forums is bidding as well.
Eriq, right?
Yeah
A bunch of Sierra games. KQ 1,2,3,4, LSL 2,3, PQ2, SQ3, and the kicker and my reason for bringing this up... SQ1, original release, flip box. R@RE! (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4315&item=8122032513&rd=1)
There's also this one if you're rich or feel like spending some money, or just a Quest For Glory fan or collector http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62053&item=8121710323&rd=1

Man, I wish I had held onto all the boxes of my old computer games...these days i would put them on their own bookshelf...but when you're eight you don't think that at age 23 you'll feel nostalgic for some silly box...
I've started looking for old adventure games at car boot sales. This weekend I got Larry 2 (nothing missing as far as I can tell, it even has the "Letter from the President" where Ken Williams tries to pimp Adlib sound cards ;)) for about $2.5 and the X-Files Game, which I've always wanted, for about $6 (a bit on the pricy side, but the box is REALLY nice, and with 7 cd-roms it's not something you could download).
Ironically, I was already keeping my boxes in mint condition when I was eight.
Then one day my parents decided we didn't need them anymore.
Whee!

My mom threw out all of my old boxes AND the diskettes. Halves of dozens of classic adventures, gone just like that.
I bought a mint condition Colonel's Bequest, complete with Notepad, Pencil, Copy Protection (And the red screen "Magnifying Glass" to read it), and both booklets for one cool, sweet dollar.
Awesome game.
QuoteMy mom threw out all of my old boxes AND the diskettes. Halves of dozens of classic adventures, gone just like that.
Yeah, what I meant was, I was already keeping all my boxes with the disks and everything in them in mint condition, and then they decided we didn't need them anymore.
I also wish i still had one of the old 386s around...they probably got sold at yard sales long ago...
then i could actually play these games. I know there's ways to get em to work, but i just seem to slow to figure it out.
kinda funny, at the time i was cursing that 386 cause it wasn't fast enough, and now my machine is just too fast for my old beloved games.
and yes, it's the OS too, but whatever...
