Thanks for your answer...

No, i´m only looking for original releases...this counts for my whole collection of amiga games.

I know the enhanced version (256 colors i guess) of Larry 1 is only available as a Kixx release, but this is not on a high priority for me.

Thanks for those interesting comments and links.
I never played Thexder in my life, but i guess its a rip off from Turrican or something like that. I´m also interested in the missing Hoyle Games.

I've just double checked and it's the Kixx XL version If your still interested then you can have it for the cost of postage if you want?

It's the one in the top right of this photo (obviously ):

Wow, impressive collection! As a self-called ultimate sierra adventure games psychopat, I'm particularly impressed to see that

I have several boxes that you don't have but....PC ones

Just a question though:

What about the double PQ1-2-3 boxes? They're exactly the same, or different versions/releases?

Same question for the 3 Codename:ICEMAN boxes?

Talking about Iceman, what a shitty game well not really, I finally made it to the end for the first time a few weeks ago on DosBOX, abusing savegames lol...well, the adventure parts are enjoyable, but the submarine arcade fights are a total pain and an absolute waste of time imo. Globally that's the only bad critic I can make about these good old Sierra games I love so much: the absolutely painful arcade sequences, Iceman submarine fights probably being the worst they've done EVER!

But again, superb collection mate


PS: No "Gold Rush!" in there? Too bad! Ever played it? It's one of Sierra's last AGI adventure games (together with ManHunter2 and KQ4, which was released in both AGI and SCI at the same time but the AGI version was quickly replaced with the SCI one, making KQ4 AGI ultra-rare!) , and a damn good one imo. It's pretty unknown and it deserves more attention so that's why I'm mentioning it

I can't see Willy Beamish! You have Heart of China and Rise of the Dragon, but you seem to be missing Willy of Beamish?

And It wasn't a Kixx only release, though the Kixx box is the only one scanned at HOL. There was an original Sierra release:


These are my 5 Amiga Larrys, in fact they're all the Sierra originals I have. Some time in the future I'll start hunting King Quests

That's awesome!

If anyone has any Sierra PC games (in great shape) you want to sell... you'll get a good price from me

Anyway, that is a nice collection you have there!

This game was one of my favourites as a kid even though I never managed to get to the sub. Remember buying Mai Tais in the bar and playing volleyball.

So true Actually, never got to the sub when I was a kid either, and I loved the beginning of the game too

Pretty funny how they ride on the James Bond/Secret Agent cliché's in the beginning of the game, with the hero first saving the life of a swimmer, then going to the bar, hook up with a random female, offer her champagne (how romantic!), dance (who remembers that dance sequence??? epic ) then go to her place to finish the night...but wait.......

[spoiler]

she's A SPY!!!!!!! (*crowd goes: how unexpected!*)

[/spoiler]

well, good game nonetheless.. the submarine fights excepted, but I guess you start to get the picture I hate them

I never played Codename Iceman back in the old days, but i heard much about it due to the reviews in game magazines.

So i really love those Police Quest games (ok - not PQ 4 on PC, because its crap) and i love Leisure Suit Larry too. Kings Quest is just a "nice to have" for me.

Most frustrating point is, that i sold my A1200 and all games (about 80 boxed games) back in 1996 (guess what - for a very cheap price, i really sold my soul), so i have started to rebuild my collection in 2002. All games you can see in that picture, are from that period or later. But those are not the "original" games i bought / received as a present. This is a difference for me. Its hard to describe this feeling, but i think most people will know what i mean.

So what are next steps? I´m always on the look to find any missing games in my collection, but i´m also collecting games from other companies. I cannot buy and collect tons of games, because i don´t have the required space for it.
