Garage Duty - An Archeological Find...

Post by iamsjn » Sat Sep 09, 2006 11:35 am

Hey guys!
Was cleaning my garage out this morning (What a $&*$^%! MESS!!) But some good came out of it!
I ran across a rather inconspicuous box. In it I find none other than all of my old game boxes! I've got -

The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy (Infocom)
The Lurking Horror (Infocom)
Might & Magic (yes, the FIRST one!) (New World Computing)
The Pawn (Magnetic Scrolls / Rainbird)
Killed Until Dead (Accolade)
Skyfox (Electronic Arts)
The Sentinal (Electronic Arts)
Apollo 18 (Accolade)

And LOTS of others! For starters though, after listening to your Podcast highlighting Infocom, Here is my homage to the forgotten process of digging into an Infocom game.

Enjoy!!

Wow! That's really cool. I Wish I could go looking through my garage and find lost treasure.

Nice! That is an awesome find. Every once in a while I think about an old game that I bought but have no idea where it has gone... :( Maybe someday I will find a similar lost treasure.

Yea, I was excited when I found it.
When I get some time, I'm going to add to that photo album. I want to add Might & Magic as well as The Pawn. Season's passed while playing those games!!
