Default Selling My King's Quest Collection.
Hey, I didn't see any B/S/T Section here.. So I hope it's okay If I throw this here? I figure some people here might be interested in this one.

This is a collection I'm very proud of, and worked very hard on to make! If anyone has any questions of concerns let me know!
As money gets tighter its looking like it's about time I let this one go.

This is a set of Boxed King's Quest I, II, III, IV, V, VI and VII + Others

(See the auction for all the other pictures)

Nope! Only good king's quest games in this collection :p

But seriously, I only collected the adventure themed ones and 8 never had any appeal to me.

Just in case some do not realize, the copy of KQ7 shown is version 2. Earlier versions did not come with a DOS interpreter. The Windows version is not really playable on modern systems. The executable is 16-bit, so will not play on 64-bit Windows. Also, you cannot pass the firecracker speed bug on today's fast machines. Version 2 includes a DOS interpreter, which allows the game to easily run in DOSBox. This solves both problems. Additionally, version 2 has all of the other official patches. If you want to get the game, this is the one to get.

Outside of one localized release, the box for MoE only says King's Quest: Mask of Eternity, not King's Quest 8.

Sorry, the shipping prices would be insane! (And I don't know how..)

Honestly, I think the box alone with all of its contents for each of of these games is a work of art in itself.
I was so picky when I was building this collection but i think it was worth it, I would just melt every time I would open up one of these boxes and see it overflowing with stuff.

I didn't even know this! I just knew it was an updated version (but I wasn't sure what they actually added).. and that I after seeing the box art on this one there was no going back to the old version.

Woah, very nice. I want to buy it and I don't even like King's Quest all that much.

It's becoming very common that people selling games on eBay won't ship outside their own country. It's been affecting me for a while now. Although, in this case, I don't even want to begin to imagine how much international shipping would be for these games.
