Well, yes and no. They will be "donated to all". i.e. Anybody that wants to use them can - we are just scanning them but they are not our property (obviously) - they will probably be distributed as addon "packs" for the CAPS releases.

If by "donating to HOL" you mean me uploading them somewhere for you, then yes, we are donating them to HOL!

Please be aware though, that this stuff is going to be *BIG*. Everything will be scanned at 300dpi. Hopefully as time goes on, the space required to store them will be less of a problem...

Thanks. Oh, and I'll be more than happy to do the grunge work of downloading rather than you having to upload, if it will make the process any easier. I know you are very busy with CAPS stuff.

And I scan all of my boxes at big 300dpi, too. For HOL, we scale the final down to 640 pixels wide, but having the original 300dpi version is like having a master copy for whatever purpose may extend in the future (ie, if typical desktop resolutions in the future become 2048x1536 and everybody goes broadband, we can re-master a larger version).

When I was in the US .. I got Lords Of Time, fully boxed and sealed.
I had copies of that.. and a friend who played it alot said it looks like there`s something missing from the game, like a demo or beta.. so when I saw it on Ebay I bid and got it.. just to see if that boxed version was any different to the versions on the net..

I shall find out soon

Great! Sounds like we will be saving each other a bit of work!

We will have to keep each other posted on what is done, what is not etc...

The last full price gam i bought for the Amiga was "Arkanoid" it was £14.95 from Boots and the year i guess was 1989

Burge · 02 September 2002, 18:36

Probably Midnight Resitance or Shadow Warriors. A long time ago.

Bobbin · 03 September 2002, 21:26

I can clearly remember how i got my copy of Lionheart. I didn't even really play that much on my Amiga anymore, I just bought a PC just to play Indy4 (the old days when LucasArts made me change to another System) and it was just meant as a support for that dying system. Well, it didn't help...

Yup. Let me know when you begin the laborous task of scanning and what's on your list. And if you want my big scans, just lemme know where to up them.

fiath · 06 September 2002, 08:49

Cool, okay - probably be nearer (or shortly after) "release" time...

sw2001 · 25 October 2004, 08:53

Arcade Pool - Team 17

a real good billard sim.

Bamiga2002 · 25 October 2004, 10:11

Shogo & Freespace.

spiff · 25 October 2004, 13:19

Cannonfodder..
grabbed some hitsquad releases later, none of them where fullprice though.

They did a pretty good PC lineup with the ultima games once I got myself a PC.

kriz · 25 October 2004, 15:27

Hmm hard, but I think Foundation, Quake and Genetic Species in 95-96 i think , or maybe 97 ?

have bought many used since then, but not full price (new)...

Photon · 24 November 2004, 15:12

Exile. And it was SO worth the money. Almost finished it

Still have the box. Aww.

Aegothis · 27 February 2005, 03:41

Nuclear War. It was the perfect game at the time, I didn't get into the RPGs and stuff. Nice to play them now.

icewizard2k5 · 27 February 2005, 04:47

i've got tons of originals since my first amiga was a hand-me-down from the pop.

last game i can remember being bought full price was syndicate. i'd played the demo so i was pretty keen on it.
last game i BOUGHT was Walker off ebay the other day.

i know i've got heaps of boxed stuff out in my cupboard i should really go through it and see if anythings missing from HOL...

Murakami · 27 February 2005, 08:22

I've bought Descent Freespace *OS4* last month :-)

commie1974 · 27 February 2005, 15:47

Oh, due to money lack at the time, I should confess that I NEVER bought original games in full price! But fortunately, I have found LOTS of such stuff in very good condition, searching around some local fleamarkets! I now have about 70-80 originals, bought for around 1-2 euros each! I think the last one that I got this way, was Agony

frostwork · 27 February 2005, 19:02

Hhm, Heretic2, Freespace, Wipeout, Nightlong,Quake2 were almost
at the same time (about 2 years ago?)
Next game I'll buy will be Divine Divinity for Pegasos/MorphOS....

Firthy2002 · 28 February 2005, 00:21

I think it was Super Skidmarks.

numb · 08 March 2005, 15:37

I think flashback was the last one I bought.
