It's at $900 US Dollars with 3 days left! There is a guy on the lemon64.com board who is bidding and he sez his bid is legit. To be honest, I consider myself a Ultima nut, but I've never seen this offered before.

Unbelievable!

I always wondered if auctioning my still working Vic 20 with it's cassette player & games would be worth it on eBay. Makes you think.

I wonder if my original "Galactic Civilizations" in the ugly box will ever be worth anything.

It's funny the way collectibles work: I've bought 19-century editions of books for $10-$12 just sitting on the shelves at Powell's, but a 25-year-old game goes for $900.

Holy shite, it's over and it sold for $3,605!!!
Cheezy Creezy... That's a lot of money!

The buyer must be pretty rich (or pretty whacked out).

Oh that was sold by Fortran. He was trying to get Sierra (?) to agree to him making the game availlable for free. I guess he didn't succeed.

He also sold me Savage Empire some millenia ago.
