Speaking of Synergistic Software, I recently had the chance to exchange emails with Robert Nendel, lead programmer for Warriors of Legend and other Syn. Soft. games. If anyone's interested, I can share some stories/facts about those days in Syn. Soft. -- Pedro R. Quaresma Salvador Caetano IMVT

It indeed is that uncommon. Much more so than a Starcross saucer, Suspended mask or sealed Fooblitzky. I have been on ebay now for five years and only saw it once and that one was even sealed. Hmm, I've had 3 or 4 of these (ZorkQuest II) come through the Shoppe over the years, but I can't say

That reminds me, I have the Zork 1 poster from the Zork Users Group. Say, was that the only poster they made? I have some vague memory of a Zork 2 poster mentioned. There was a Zork II, it was in BW. -- This message

I hear he doesn't have a lot of patience with people talking about Drash, though. He's done a number of other games since then and apparently dislikes the fact that everyone only seems to care about the one crappy game he did two decades ago. - Original Message - From:

Yes I did... Do you have a copy too? He used to run auctions fairly regularly, but I haven't seen or heard anything from him in months. By the way, which Phoenix games are you missing? I think I have an extra copy of Masquerade, and perhaps another game, though I'd have to check. C.E. Forman

This idea comes up every now and then, but we never seem to get past the we should do this stage. If everybody's serious, we could put something like this together. First we'd need to agree where to hold it, of course. East coast? West coast? Middle of the country? (Of course it's going to

Funny you mention that. It actually is a three-pack of Infocomics, although as I recall, it's three individual Infocomics shrinkwrapped in one package. Probably a store job... but you never know. Perhaps Infocom/Activision did package them like that to get rid of excess inventory? I don't

I looked and unfortunately my only duplicate is Masquerade. Just a couple of notes: Fraktured Faebles was never actually released by Phoenix - it came after the sale to American Eagle. And the deal for the second Japanese game never happened... I have some scans of Phoenix stuff at
