Yeah I know.. I also never saw that Blue Force box too (including the floppy version of the game). I have Blue Force on CD + manual, which you see more often, but the CD version is never boxed right?
Sega PODS is Sega's version (1995) of MB's SIMON (1978 .

It's basically a memory game with 7 different gamemodes (including a 2 player mode, and 3-6 player mode), where you have to repeat the computer. (and the series have you to repeat gets longer and longer)
The Sega PODS are special though, because you don't have to TOUCH any buttons! It has 3 motion-sensors AND it can detect if you're holding your hand HIGH (+12 inches) of LOW (1-11 inches) above the 3 cones.

MB's Super Simon (1981) *boxed* (now I only still want the original 1978 Simon.. and Simon-Pocket release)

Quest for Glory IV *boxed* (floppy version) This box is so much prettier than the other release. Though both the floppy version AND the CD version were released in the two types of boxes... Weird..

Status : Online | I just answered my own question re which games are in the Zork Legacy Collection by doing a quick web search and found some lovely surprises...
This collection not only has the entire Zork collection up to and including Zork Nemesis (Zork Grand Inquisitor is the only one since, correct?) but in .dat files are the stories for 14 other infocom games! They simply need a Z-machine interpreter, a free download, to play. I'm so pleased!
That which makes one happy is not a waste of time

Somewhere (maybe even in my room) is a Pocket Simon. And a Battleship game like the one pictured above is at my grandma's. I remember playing with that 10-15 years ago!

Hmm....tempting, but dangerous too. I could end up with 3,4, or 5 adventures playing at the same time and have a hard time keeping it all straight. Before I know it I'd have Gabriel trying to restore the Balance while Grace sees "No need to go down there" and April strives to live up to her legendary Schattenjaeger heritage. Not good. Still, a peek wouldn't hurt....

Sonny and Steve are named after Jim's sons, the man on the Codename:Iceman box is his youngest son and the girl with the cloak is his daughter.
Yes! I bought from him KQ3 grey box 86 release too!! He's really nice. Oh - KQ2 grey box was released in '85.
I know. I have it!
My recent games:
KQ4 - AGI boxed and everything (Catalog missing)
Mixed Up Mother Goose - '87 (Factory sealed!!!)
PQ1 - Map torn, poker card missing, and the worst - I've found it in my basement after the auction!!!
Oh- I was THAT close to get '82 Time Zone, but someone from Japan took it!!! >
And - I was THAT close to getb - Wizard and the princess, Mission: Asteroid and Ulysses and the Golden Fleece, all in ORIGINAL folder, but I didn't!!!!!!!! > :'(

I had a stroke of good luck when I was second hand shopping in London a few weeks back - picked up boxed copies of Dracula 2: Last Sanctuary and Kyrandia 3: Malcolm's Revenge for £5 each. I've been after the latter for quite a while, and just seeing it on a bargain shelf made me very happy indeed.
Just finished playing Max Payne, which was also pretty brilliant, it must be said....
