Hundreds of boxed Amiga Games for sale!
 
Hi folks!

I'm selling a huge part of my Amiga Games collection.

If you're searching for some special titles, just post here which ones. If it's in my collection, I'll post a price for the requested items.

Thanks and have a nice evening
Ex-Collector

He means that you could make images of the disks themselves :) Have a look here : I have some original games and I want to help. What do I do?
You need an Amiga with a 68020 CPU or better to do it though.

Yes, please do so Ex-Collector, maybe you've got some gems there :)
BTW: Hello and welcome to EAB!

Great stuff, what they will do is send you a special imaging program to run on an Amiga, it will test the specs of your amiga, then if they say 'Yes its okay', will run off special images you send back to them in an email.

What they do, is preserve the disks, into a format known as .IPF which is a disk image like ADF, but instead contains disk protection and other funky stuff. it is 100% identical to the original disk, but in image.

Sounds great! I'll keep you updated here what's going on if anyone's interested.

Thoughtful of you to really consider the process of imaging disks. And welcome to EAB btw. :)

Ex-Collector 27 December 2008 09:46

Hihi...I must admit that - reading all the posts about the imaging - I'm a bit afraid now of the process and if I'm able to handle this :D

I guess the SPS software is quite easy to use, so no worries :) Oh and if you have any problems you know where to ask :D

I'm searching for ShufflePuckCafe (Broderbound) very long. It must be the first version with poster and no plastic-box.

Ex-Collector 28 December 2008 00:43

Still no reply about that imaging thing. Can anyone help? I'm afraid I'd sell some games in the near future, so a quick contact is better I guess...

Oops...didn't see that. Sorry, Damion. I'm sorry, but Traps&Treasures is only available in Kraut- EErrrm... German-Version :D

TCD 28 December 2008 00:46

You could write IFW (click on the contact tab) an email about that and hopefully he'll replay faster this way :)

Hi Ex-Collector,

If it comes to that, would you kindly pass on to the buyer(s) details of the SPS project and the urgency of committing these titles to images before bit-rot finally destroys the original disks forever? :bowdown

Also, it would be appreciated if you could suggest that they join EAB as well (if they are not already members), for the help and support we can offer here. ;)

Thanks,

prowler
