Yeah, especially with the Big Three: Ultima, Infocom and Sierra. The rare stuff, when you can even find it, is getting harder to acquire without laying out a huge block of cash. Fortunately the common stuff is starting to really emerge from the woodwork, making bargains possible. (Even more so if you don't care about platform.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
