    Pyst and I believe The XFools are not that sought after right now but if they are complete or sealed there may be some incremental value down the road.

    The boxed Prince of Persia games with the oddly shaped boxes will definately have collector appeal if complete and in good shape. Probably double to triple the normal value at any given time.

    By all accounts it is a total piece of shovelware, and probably not in high demand.

    The game itself is intentionally hideous looking, but to my eyes the graphical backgrounds were actually a bit more detailed than Myst. Puzzles looked like the "random crap pops up yay" variety, nothing special - actually it's more like playing around with Packard Bell Navigator's KidSpace, or one of the Monty Python games; it's just a collection of kooky things and doesn't have a linear storyline. But John Goodman recorded at least one duet for it. Lol, King Matruss. So, if he ever kicks the bucket (I hope not!)...people will start looking for it, I'm sure. If the creators of Myst have a house fall on them the same day (I REALLY hope not), then it will DEFINITELY skyrocket.

    King Matruss, lol.

    Hmmn,I've got that Duke Nukem Atomic Edition box somewhere, the CD is right here in my pile of PC Games.

    I've got one thing I've wondered about, when Red Alert II came out I bought it at Best Buy and got a free 4 disc CD soundtrack set of all the Command and Conquer games. I still haven't opened it and the wrapping still has the 49.99 price tag from back in the day....

    I got like 2-3 of those free from the BB I was at.

    I traded them away years ago.

    I was about to call those! When I got on some threads and looked for NASCAR Racing 2003 (the Papyrus one), and saw now only that it still had a very active community, but that it sold often in triple digits, I was shocked!

    Kinda shocked about MVP Baseball 2005 too. I wonder if the reasoning is the same, since people do still keep up rosters for it even to this day.

    I had a minor update to the list (page 3) I never pushed through, but have now.

    I also wanted to ask if anyone knows anything about Jazz Jackrabbit's Poker Broker. I found it sealed the other day for cheap, so picked it up since the Jazz Jackrabbit name had been dropped in this thread. Can't find much info about it, though.

    What in the world? I collect Epic Megagames titles and I have never heard of that... Could you give any more info, publisher, release year etc? Or pix would be great... Thanks! That sounds very out of character for a game they would do, if it's the same Jazz.

    Yeah, there is a good chance it isn't the same character, or the name was just ripped off. The only extra info on the box is a kind of 'world' logo that says CYBER.EX and there is a copyright 1997 cyberdigital. Oh, and it boasts "FOR PC" in a starburst thing. Pretty chintzy looking packaging. I'll put pictures up later.

    Have any copies of Warhammer: Dark Crusaders ever popped up? I know it was eventually canceled and the video footage was recycled into Final Liberation, but the final game was reviewed in PC Gamer and it was shown off at E3 not that long beforehand; I'm wondering if anything ever snuck out into the wild. I would email the developer, but they seem to have gone under about two years ago

    Really, I don't care about the lackluster response at E3 or the lukewarm review; it's a 40k FPS and it's not like there's a bunch of those. Can't be worse than Fire Warrior (though I don't have my hopes up of it being remotely as enjoyable as either Space Hulk).

    Not sure if this was mentioned by Raiden III was released on PC over in Japan. So, to us in the states that has to be a rarity. Plus, not sure if anyone remembers, but iD did a box set with all of their games at the time. I think this came out in the late 90's, I'm not sure. I haven't seen much about it except for a torrent on Underground Gamer.

    As the id Anthology has been mentioned several times in this thread already, I would say many remember.

    Wow that does sound interesting. Hopefully the pics will reveal something.

    That box artwork is really bland.

    It fits the game well (at least the description on the back), but it is really uninspiring.

    I know this game has been mentioned earlier in this thread, but tonight I found a complete copy of Wing Commander:The Kilrathi Saga in my attic. After searching high and low on the internet I couldn't find a price for it. I was wondering if anyone could help, what would this game fetch on say ebay?

    Whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

    I suspect it's worth at least $60 - which seems to be a good number for any fairly rare PC game - but it could be a lot more. The better place to ask would be some of the Wing Commander fan forums out there, like at http://www.wcnews.com/ .
