By the way, even though 'Cosmology of Kyoto' is very rare, there have been three on eBay in the last few months. One was Mac-only.
'Queensryche Promised Land' is sometimes on eBay, new and sealed. Others on your list(s) are not rare at all. Feel free to dispute my list.

I disagree with Black Sect (by lankhor, french company creators of maupiti island), Bargon Attack (by coktel) & Igor (by pendulo the creators of runaway & hollywood monsters) being rare I own the three games and also Heaven´s dawn (but this one its far less known).
Ill search for info on most of the other titles you mentioned , thanx for the list.

If you take something off the list just because one person has it or someone saw it on eBay, you might as well not make a list because everything, except perhaps Cosmology of Kyoto, is probably owned by at least one person here (probably Bastich or Aya). For example, I own Beyond the Wall of Stars.
That being said, you might want to add Puppet Motel to your list. I have it and have played it, but it's not easy to get.

Hi Blount.
Believe me. They are rare. You could have picked a few others on my list that are less rare. I'm impressed that you have them though. Originals and in boxes? If so, I'm salivating at the ............... knees (????????????).
I have most of the games on the list. Some aren't the truist of true Adventures, and they can be disputed as such.
For instance, another one .......... not massively rare, but very collectible when complete, is 'Leif and the American Viking'. I have it and it came with an amulet thingy. Well cool!

Is there another game with "City 2.0.0.0" in it's name?

Hi Val,
Yes. Aditus also made the far more frequently seen 'London C.I.T.Y. 2000'. In it they give notice that the Paris one was forthcoming. Unfortunately though ............ Mind you, the London game was pretty dire.

Note that im not removing games off the list.Even though by now I have about one third of the games mentioned, I still consider most of them rare.
I also own Beyond the Wall of Stars, but I still have it boxed and sealed, havent tried it, hows it like? have you played it?

You mean Chaos: A Fantasy Adventure or Chaos: Continuum?. I have the later boxed & sealed.

Hehehe. In trivia contests I used this game A LOT whenever I had no idea and it seemed to be possible. And, of course, once it was the right solution, I didn't. :
I still have no idea what this game even remotely looks like. [smiley=shrug.gif]
I don't know about your standards the games have to meet for this list, but here are a few off the top of my head:
Escape From Delirium German classic point & click
and nicely matching this title Armed & Delirious aka Dementia aka Granny ok, Granny is the primary title, I think
Mission Supernova a German shareware game which had a sequel...ok, probably does not count
Vandell boring and extremely short sci-fi game
Inherit The Earth probably not that obscure, although I got it with one of those mags with a rare/old game for cheap, the mag being replacement for the manual
Hexuma see above - German IF/graphics affair
Die Kathedrale ditto...this is pretty good by the way, I believe

Eve and Explora are more arty, musicy (sp?), interactive pieces and Puppet Motel is more a performance arts piece. I'm not a staunch arguer when it comes to saying if they are or not though. But some people love to correct you when you classify such games (?), as Adventures. I'm happy to call them Adventure-type 'games'.
Two 'Cosmology of Kyotos' sold on eBay recently ........... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170171009133&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170160740566&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007
In case nobody has mentioned it, by the way, 'Alice .......... ' sold for a reasonable price too! : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170170972091&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007
I have These too!
'Inherit the Earth' can be bought from the developers I believe.
I've never heard of 'Hardline'.
Don't forget another very borderline Adventure, 'Leif and the American Viking'.
Also;
Escape From The Haunted House
Hound of the Baskervilles
'Bad Milk' is hard to get hold of too.
