I use NM (S) when there is actually a defect on the shrink itself. Like if
there is minor but permanent crust or writing on the shrink. Or if it is a
perfectly shrunk game with the smallest defect like an ever-slight bend or
if it is slightly compressed -- because of the shrink -- in this case NM
I just found an Apple II copy of a game called "Brimstone", "a Synapse &
Broderbund Production". Does anyone know if this is rare? I was going
to throw it up on eBay to see what happens ;)

As an aside, first Apple game I played was Castle Wolfenstein.
There was a mainframe at the school as well (I think it was an HP of
some
variation). It had a game whose name escapes me (Mystery Mansion?).
Haunt?

Jim,
I apologize if I was responsible for 'bursting your bubble'. I just like to follow
the letter of the law...it keeps me safe, it keeps me honest.
Although your idea is a good one (I would've bought a copy for SURE!), I don't really

Why do I have a feeling that if this hobby ever goes the way of other ones,
with a price guide and stuff like that, my collection is going to be worth
nothing?
(Let's see, a NM "Zork Trilogy" is worth $500, but a F "Zork Trilogy" is $5.
Too bad.)

I'd downgrade to "Fine" myself, but that's just me. If I see "NM (S)"
anywhere I will know what it means.

Please don't -- I wish I never had anything to do with it.
To clarify, I know it's wrong and I won't do it. I was just starry-eyed from
the prospect of having all that material remastered on a single DVD.

Those materials are copyrighted and when EA bought Origin that purchase
included all of Origin's intellectual properties. You can't compile, and
redistribute any of it without their express permission and probably a
