Any idea what some of these are worth? All of them are factory sealed except for 7th Guest, No Greater Glory and Man Hunter. The game on the top left corner is Stonekeep, and the bottom left corner is The Dark Tower Of Kingspoint, which I am not even sure if it is a game or not. Any help is appreciated.

Stonekeep in that condition should be worth a bit, I'd guess 30 or so. It is very hard to find with that base piece, though, so on the right day it could go for even more. There is just very little interest in it. The disc in jewel case is hard to find a buyer for at any price in my experience, although ebay completed listings right now show there are always some nutty buyers.

I played a fair bit of that Cyberia game... I can say it is pretty lousy as a game, but I've no idea if a sealed on is worth something.

I'd guess Dark Forces could go for 15-20 sealed; it isn't really worth anything loose.

Sorry I don't know anything about the others.

I'd guess Dark Forces could go for 15-20 sealed; it isn't really worth anything loose.Considering I've sold sealed copies of LucasArts games for hundreds of bucks, he could very well make $100 or more on eBay on that alone. Yes, the game is common as hell, but a sealed, first run copy isn't so easy to come by anymore. Ringworld may be of interest to a Larry Niven fan. But that's about all I can think of.

Thanks guys. I looked most of them up on ebay and I guess it wouldn't hurt to list a few on there and see what happens.

It figures that Dark Forces is the only one that looks like something banged into the front and put a hole/dent into it :(

That very well could be, I'd definitely run these as auctions. Dark Forces does seem to be a lot more common and less desirable than the LucasArts adventure games, which is why I gave my estimate kind of low. Stonekeep (or any of the others, for all I know), could also go high if you got the right buyers looking at it. Sealed obscure pc stuff can be all over the map.

I've actually had better luck with Amazon for older PC games. Yes, they take a higher cut than ebay, but it's free to list and you can leave it up for as long as you want and name your own price.

I have no idea what it's worth, but I also have a sealed copy of Dragonsphere. Only you seem to have the original release while I have the re-release. I have no idea if it's even a good game, it just surprised me to see someone else have a copy of it.

I haven't seen Dark Tower of KIngspot ever. Is it a real title and a PC game??

Thanks for the info/suggestions so far guys.

I'm not sure what it is myself. It looks like some kind of add on for RPG games using The Goldtree Engine? The back says you can track player and non player movement, and "Customize your own levels and plot twists to environments already available".

I can't find a thing either when I search for it. I still have no clue.

It appears the Goldtree Engine was some sort dungeon master help tool for computers.

It looks pretty interesting! I'm surprised there isn't a modern version of this program available.

Thank you for the link sir, I guess I wasn't looking in the right direction when I searched.

The one I have is version 1.0, which I assume is the oldest if it makes any difference.

Dreamweb is a game I once got with a stack of disc cases. It was a really good game to boot. However, the prices seem to range from $2-$50 though I don't see any that have been sold recently.

I wish I could find a decent copy myself, I haven't played it in years. I'd almost recommend keeping it to play it.

I found a disc-only copy of the game today, and remembered it from this thread, but didn't buy it.

Is it really that good?

If it's disc only I'd bet it was a copy similar to the one I had, from a stack of disc cases. I'd recommend it.

edit: Also OP, if you are interested in selling that copy of DreamWeb let me know. I'd love a full copy.

Letiumtide, I will send you a PM regarding DreamWeb.
