[SWCollect] Legend of the Lost?
Has anyone heard of this game? It is by Impressions, not listed at Moby. The one I have is for Amiga, don't know if it was released for any other platform? If anyone has heard of it is it rare? I am going to put it up for sale but have no clue what it is worth if anything. Thanks, Tom

Re: [SWCollect] New topic--Collectors UNITE!
It's matured into a full-blown hobby. The original art used to generate the stickers sells on ebay anywhere from $3,000 - $20,000. Some of the stickers are worth quite alot of money. It's funny when the fans of a hobby grow from innocent kids to calculating adults and bring their wiles to bear on the hobby. All of the manuvering they use to get a hard-to-find item is surprising. Kinda takes the fun out of it and turns it into a cynical profiteering enterprise. Origin Museum wrote: Chris Newman wrote: I live on Long Island actually (New York).

Re: Re: [SWCollect] Legend of the Lost?
I do have a little background if it helps. Breach was a classic made by the fine folks at Omnitrend. I beleive it was originally an ST/Amiga release, and it was very popular at the time (1987). Because of this, it was ported to IBM. I've never heard of Legend, which means it likely wasn't popular, and therefore might never have been ported. Omintrend's follow up series to Breach was one called Paladin (1988), which I like a lot, too. It was basically the same tactical gameplay as Breach in a fantasy setting. Of course, Ominitrend's most sought after game is its original Universe for the Atari 8-bit. I've seen this go for hundreds on eBay. Universe II was a good and very ambitious follow up on the ST. Hugh Original message attached. I checked some of the docs inside and it has an ad for a game called Breach 2 by the same company. Breach was available for Amiga, Atari ST and IBM so maybe LotL was made for IBM also? Tom

RE: [SWCollect] Genres
Was this too dull to read, or does everyone actually agree? -Original Message- From: Hugh Falk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 11:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SWCollect] Genres Sorry to dig up this thread again. My last e-mail was presented in terms of how MobyGames deals with genre. However, I wanted to discuss how I deal with genre on my site. I'd appreciate your input. At its most generic, I only consider there to be two truly distinct genres (and a third, hybrid of the two), which are based on what makes them distinctly challenging to play: - Action -- dexterity challenges - Strategy - cerebral challenges (i.e. strategic, tactical or managerial decision making challenges) - Action/Strategy hybrids - any obvious combination of the two above Each one of these can be further broken down into unique classifications based on what makes them fun. The list below is not comprehensive, and the basic element of fun is listed in parentheses. In order to be a basic element, it must allow for fun gameplay on its own merit. There can be hybrids of each of these categories as well: - Action -- Jump-n-Run/Platform/Maze (navigation and/or evasion) -- Shooter (destruction) -- Simulation (imitation, action-oriented) -- Action Contests (dexterity competition) - tests of skill too abstract to be a simulation or variant of a real sport or competition. i.e. Ballblazer. Ballblazer can actually be sub-categorized into a group called Fantasy Sport, which would also contain games such as Speedball, Cyberball, Grand Monster Slam, Projectyle, etc. - If a game is abstract enough, it can just be labeled an Action game. i.e. Breakout - Strategy -- Puzzle games (solution) -- Simulation (imitation, strategic) -- RPGs (growth/collection and their management) -- Card Games (simulations or variations of real world card games) -- Board Games (simulations or variations of real world board games) -- Strategy Contests (intellectual competition) - tests of intellect too abstract to be a simulation or variant of a real sport or competition. i.e. M.U.L.E., Master of Orion, Heroes of Might and Magic, Warlords, etc. - If a game is abstract enough, it can just be labeled a Strategy game. i.e. Hunt the Wumpus or Omega Note that a simulation can be an action game, a strategy game or a hybrid. You can also go one level deeper on most of these games. So under Simulation, you could have Flight Simulation, Driving Simulation, Sports Simulation, War Simulation, etc. And you could have Adventure and Jigsaw under Puzzle games Note to self (and others who are bored): Chance is another main genre, but it is not very popular on PCs unless real money is involved. Most card games (including blackjack, poker, etc.) are actually strategy games. However, there are some true games of chance with no strategic element whatsoever (like cutting for high card, flipping a coin, and some other forms of gambling). I'm not bothering to list these since they don't demonstrate anything unique to video gaming. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 12:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Re: [SWCollect] King's Quest 1 RE: #1. Actually Spacewar was the first computer game...and it was an action game. But yes, computer adventure came before computer RPG. I'm not sure that is of any significance; however, since several other genres (besides action and strategy) also came after Adventure. #2. Fantasy is not a computer-game-genre-specific characteristic. Adventures can be fantasy, sci-fi, noir, reality-based, etc. Same with RPGs. The real differentiator between video game genres should be the essence of what makes it a fun game: - For an Adventure game, it is problem/puzzle solving. I contend that Adventure games are a sub-genre of puzzle games. Without problem/puzzle solving in an adventure game, you would have no game. You would have a story (even if that was fun, it wouldn't be a game). - For RPGs, it is character growth and item gathering. This makes it distinct and not a sub-genre. A game can have this as its only focus and be fun.
