I've never seen a for-sale copy of an Angelsoft game for IBM other than
the two that I own, High Stakes and The Mist, which appear to be the most
common titles for IBM.  The Mist seems to be particularly common, but that
seems to be balanced by much higher demand.

BTW, the IBM version of The Mist is flawed -- there is a typo in one of the verb actions you need to perform, so it is impossible to win the game without knowing what the typo is! (For those familiar with other platforms, is this the same on them? I would imagine a typo in the dictionary would propogate...) A hacker friend of mine clued me in to this fact when we were talking about the game circa 1996 and he said, "Yeah, the one with the typo? I dumped RAM with debug.com and found it." So THAT'S why I was never able to finish it! :)
