All the inane chatter goes in here. If you're curious about whether we will support a game, post HERE not in General Discussion :)

Yard sales

Post by bobdevis »

As some of you might know, it was Queens Day today in the Netherlands. Amongst other things this means a huge yard sale all over the inner city of Amsterdam. Great times for a classic game appreciator like me. My bounty today was;

-Myst. Luxury box edition with booklet, journal and "The Book of Atrus" novel (the novel in Dutch, unfortunately)... 3 Euro.
-Zork Nemesis. Box edition with booklet and manual ... 2 Euro
-The 7th Guest.... 1 euro
-Quake1 Mission Pack 1 box ... 1 Euro
-Deus Ex ... 2 Euro
-American McGee's Alice ... 5 Euro
-SimCity 3000 ... 1 euro
-An IMB modelM keyboard in mint condition ... 3 euro
-An Xbox (not 360) with 3 controllers SCART-cable and the wrong (English) power plug ... 25 Euro
I am either installing Linux on the X-Box and if that doesn't work out, just gut it and put a micro-ATX in there. It should make a fine file server either way :)

Anyone else found some cool stuff at yard sales lately?

I lived in A'dam for about 8 years. I always went to Queen's Day. Actually 'went to' is wrong. You can't avoid it unless you stay at home all day. I used to pick up some good stuff.

What do you mean by '"The Book of Atrus" novel (the novel in Dutch, unfortunately)'
Why unfortunate? If you don't want it I'll have it. It will give me a chance to see how rusty my Dutch is.

I meant I'd rather have the original English version. But yes, I cant really complain considering how cheap it was.
