That's crazy...
The overpricing of Amiga games is really getting out of hand. |

I don't think it is crazy. Games are worth whatever people are willing to pay for them.
Unfortunately it does make life difficult. That, and the ****ing traders. These are people who do not care about the games, just buy bulk auctions in order to re-list as individual items. Kinda kills the aim of eBay IMO - no middle man? I wish! Anyone looked at Atari ST auctions? Games are incredibly cheap compared to Amiga games, even original Infocom titles! |

Take a look at the biddings. Fake bidders to get real ones thinking it is something of value....

It doesn't even work with unregistered WHDLoad. I don't see why this game is so important.

I think it's the combination of the game being reasonably uncommon and it being a very fondly remembered classic. It's like The Shawshank Redemption - its classic status has risen considerably over the years.

 It's not an Amiga game Drake.  It's a movie set in a prison starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins. |

And it's a fantastic movie everyone should watch. Top notch stuff.
The Shawshank Redemption was indicated for a Oscar of better movie together with Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction. If I remember correctly, it got the Oscar for best adapted script. It was written and directed by Frank Darabont (Same writer/director of The Green Mile) based in a story by Stephen King. |

I wish I would have bought Moonstone when it came out, it would have been much cheaper for me!
