I bought most of my Infocom grey boxes from a place called Compsult, in
California, back in 1991. They still sell stuff on eBay as "Software
Outlet" or something similar... I think I purcshased 15-16 titles, brand
new, still in the shrink for $5 each... Sci-Fi classics with the
slipcase for $15
I guess my luckiest find (that I can recall) was probably Softporn
Adventure. I got it complete for $5 on USENET. Ironically, although I
knew it was the precursor to LSL, I had no idea of its value. Since I
mostly collect RPGs I was hesitant to even buy it! Glad I did though :)
Oh, and I got n

Booked a flight?!? Just how much did you offer/pay for your Drash?
Now keep in mind he did NOT have a camera so I did all this without ever
seeing the game. I f

Marco (Infocom-IF) and I just bought a box of film, slides, etc., of some of
the late-term (early- to mid-1990s) Infocom package designs from a guy at
Activision. Photos they took for the package, so

Well, I might share some of my lucky "fell into lap"-stories (if anyone's
listening :).
Don't take it "the brag"-way - I enjoy reading

My most prized possessions are not really "software": original Dragon's
Lair, Dragon's Lair 2 and Space Ace LaserDiscs. Got them off eBay a few
years ago.

For me, it would have to be my Personal Software Zork. It wasn't easy
