    Default Old IBM PC games

    Well, I recently got a whole bunch of old PC games from a store that closed down, and a few I have had for years.

    Most of the ones from the store are brand new or near mint, with all maps, protection wheels etc etc.

    I tried looking for of them on Ebay, but I guess they're a little too old as I could only find a couple, and of those I could find they were the cheap rereleases.

    So any idea on prices and hard to find games in this lot?









    Any help would be great

    stuff that jumps out at me:
    Leisure Suit Larry Ultimate pleasure pack
    Monkey Island Madness (I think that's what that is)
    Aliens Ate My Babysitter

    Star Wars games are nice in that condition, but not sure if they are worth much. Never heard of that Indiana Jones game, so that could be something. There are several others I haven't heard of either, so I'm only mentioning stuff I'm a little familiar with.

    The other Keen games, Ultima Series, and Might and Magic might all be worth a second look, too.

    What's the one with the glare?

    I think that one is Planet's Edge: The Point of No Return from the same dudes that bought you Might and Magic... or something.

    You hit the jackpot, imo. Look at this!

    I'd say the Keens, anything LucasArts, Sierra or Ultimas would be a good list on their own.

    I'm pretty sure the Keen and Rise of the Triad games are all shareware versions.

    Still.

    That's fuckin' awesome!

    You actually scored on a lot of freakin' pc games, that's like one in a million! Every pc lot i've every won the best game had a resell value of $0.99.

    Really like this thread, always cool to see someone get a rare and not even know it.

    PC games are in really low demand for the most part, but the Lucas Arts point and click games are always worth good money. On the other hand Lucas Arts games like Jedi Knight, X Wing vs. Tie Fighter, and Outlaws are worth $10 (if you're lucky lol). I also think the Keen games bring good money, someone already posted the auction I was going to link. And Leisure Suit Larry probably worth something as well, as everyone as said.

    Outside of those there isn't anything that jumps out at me.

    I'm actively buying older PC games though and I'd be interested in a few these titles. Are these Austrailian releases and will you be ebaying them?
