Wantlist
For the most part, I am collecting for the sake of collecting only, and
thus I am not too picky about which machine these games are for.
Nevertheless, if given a choice, I prefer IBM, C64 or ST versions of the
games, in that order, where applicable. Prices are negotiable but
generally I won't pay more than about $10/item except for items in the "Very
Old and Very New" section (otherwise, the collection would be a lot smaller
;) ).
