Any rare PC games?

The B&N boxes are actually smaller than a typical 90s game box. I've got Kiloblaster 1-3, Overkill, Jill 2, Dare 2 Dream II, all four pinballs, Castle of the Winds I, Ken's Labyrinth (buggy), Electroman, Loader Larry, and a few others. They're all floppy disc.

They all have the same "Ready To GO" logo on them, and the same disclaimer on the back. "This product is family friendly and features no graphic violence..."
...always thought it was funny to see that on a game called "Overkill."

There are a few PC titles worth collecting.

1. The id Anthology ( 1996? ) goes for around $300 if it includes the shirt, I owned it for a few weeks before I fell on hard times.



Some other popular titles are unauthorized expansions to Warcraft II and Starcraft. Aztech's Armory can go for around $75

An odd one is Starcraft: Stellar Forces

No, it doesn't. There are a couple BINs on ebay for that, though. I just sold one on ebay and it went for $120 and was complete.

They're all from some company in New England, aren't they? Any idea if Ancients I was ever released in a box like that?

The box for Enigma Pinball is a spectacularly amusing failure; it would probably be discussed more often if it wasn't more obscure.

Thanks for this thread. I never really knew what PC games to look for other than lucasarts ones before.

Could you elaborate on that? I'm looking at mine and the oddest thing I can see is that the alien has a funny shaped hole in his forehead. What, do people mistake it for a three-pointed swastika?

No, no, I'm thinking of the back.
