It's an interesting collection, but I can't help thinking you might have trouble selling them en masse like that. Anyone that is just after one or two games is unlikely to bid large for a lot of games they've either already got or don't want.

Best of luck anyway.

I'm interested in a few of them, but like Stepurhan said, it might be better to sell them separately.

I'm in the state right next to you, I could take some off your hands.

I'm confused. Moving to Nevada so they gotta go..

Does Nevada have a no-adventure game law.

They do indeed. Adventure game playing has been shown to have a negative effect on casino revenues. In 1993 there was an attempt to tie the two disparate diversions together, but early focus groups indicated that a Myst-themed slot machine offered limited appeal to casino players because none of them could figure out how to operate the convoluted interface without clear written instructions, and it didn't appeal to Myst enthusiasts because losing was not only possible, but 97-99.5% probable depending on the payback settings specified by individual casinos.

The fools. They should have gone for Grim Fandango Year 2 slot machines. Adventure Gamers would have leapt at the chance to play in Manny's casino.

I can see from the ebay page that the bidding now has ended. Good for you

However, I wonder why people don't donate their old games to public libraries or video games museums - if such things exists at all?
