FYI: If anyone has a copy of this Bad Blood title, Apple II or IBM XT, in the box with original manual… name your price. (Include the Elmore print, and you’re added to my Will.)
And, just because I am right now wishing I had an operational Apple II, based on the manual for this game…

Wow. I wish I had kept even half the games I’ve played. I’m already a pack rat, so I don’t need the clutter, but it’s nice to go back and play some old games from time to time.

Holy cow Phantasie III nice! Havent seen that in years. My list reads almost like yours (except for that impressive 4th shelf) but I didn’t keep all my boxes 😦

If you really want to play it, I’d bet that five minutes on google could score you the apple II rom for the game and you can find an emulator at any number of sites (zophar’s domain isn’t bad).

@Aaron: Heh, Clutter should have been my middle name… my mother was (is) utterly exasperated by me. I have gotten a little better at organizing over the years tho…
@Pvthudson: I should get rid of, or at least break down the boxes. Heck, I’m completely out of room on an 8 foot tall shelf unit. Of course, some of that is books and the like…
@Cameron: I’ve always had “concerns” with emulators, too mixed up with warez sites early on, and I’ve never shaken that illicit impression of them. I’ll have to check out Zophar’s Domain, thanks (as always) for the tip…

Heh, I should post my tabletop list as well. My packrat insanity hasn’t been limited to computer games, unfortunately…
