Hey everyone,

I jumped in on that one. Can't remember what my max bid was, but as I didn't know what to value it at I didn't try to bid again after it went over my maximum.

Best regards,
Ronald

Of the things that I've seen repeated since the CT auctions went up, mostly no.  In fact, I've managed to snag a couple items for cheaper than they would normally go for in the condition I got them in.

I'm chalking this up partly due to the fact that the economy is less than stellar and we are sitting right on top of the biggest 'buy for everyone else and not yourself' season, and partly due to the fact that the serious collectors know theres alot more CT stuff coming and might be betting on seeing some of the same items, only with a signed certificate of quasi-good-feeling-ownership.  Maybe even multiples of the same item.

Shrug.  I've almost depleted my mad-money stash, so everyone needs to stop selling crap I want for a month or 2.  Thanks.

It completes our collection of those early computer games (3501 Theseus and the Minotaur, 3503 Dawn Patrol, and 3502 DUNGEON!).   I had heard of but never seen a DUNGEON! game before and wasn't sure it was ever released to the public.  As a matter of fact I think Jeff Easley sold the cover art and he stated it was for an unrealeased game.  Anyone know more?

Awesome, I have the first two but have never seen Dungeon.  Maybe Frank has some knowledge as I believe he has copies of all the early TSR computer games.  Maybe it was a prototype never released commercially?

For reference, here's the thread from last year where we discussed those computer games, including Dungeon!:

... I've only seen one eBay auction for it ("Dungeon" and one other title) and additional information on the Internet is VERY hard to come by ...

I bought my copies at a Houston gamestore in the early 90s, they were cleaning out the back room and found them in a box unused.  Don't know how they got them or why. Never seen another copy of either except on ebay.

-Just looked at the review for Dungeon! in Fantasy Gamer, interesting note:
"A ridiculously pretentious licensing agreement included and the $15 cost for a backup disk..."

Nans, actually.  They used to have some really incredible deals in the 90s when they would clean out the boxes in the back.....
