I'm not banished? --Thanks Jim! :) I understand now where your thought process was going. I too have wondered about the 'validity' of an item or two, and I can say that at least OUR Akalabeths are safe from being judged 'forgery'-- * one has a Certificate of Authenticity, signed by RG himself. * The other one was handed to us by RG--he actually restored his Apple II just to make it for us--(a good [true, and confirmable] story is the best COA).
****************************************** -- The con I just came back from had some people paying for tables out of their own pocket *just to show off their collection*, they weren't even selling anything. And one guy, who owned every single Lynx game (in multiples necessary to play multiplayer, even), had them all out for public playing, including 8 Lynx units! It was very refreshing to see that kind of mentality for a change. ****************************************** Hehe--we've done the exact same thing, at Dragon*Con--it cost us a pretty penny ($900 for 2 tables!), and we took the opportunity to also hand out fliers, showing Ultima/Wing Commander re-makes in the works. Although much less expensive, we did the same thing at Philly Classic, using our hotel room instead--and a good time was had by all. It was incredible to see the enthusiasm of our little group, and Paula and I were paid back in full by getting to see other people's prized games. I got to touch a TRS-80 Zork, an IBM Adventures in Serenia, and a Leisure Suit Larry Beachtowel!(--although I think that the game plot-vs-promotional item conjure up tie-ins too disgusting to be even mentioned!!)
