Decision in the Desert by the famous Sid Meier, Field of Fire, and some newsletters and magazines that apparently Ebay people think is worth something (Activisions Update, etc.). Amazingly, a gentleman on Amazon has the Atari Conversational Spanish for sale for $80 without the manual so I put my very good copy (with 27-page manual) at a slightly higher price. Frankly, I don't know what this paraphenalia is worth--I put old Infocom envelopes for sale on Amazon and they sold for relatively high prices so perhaps I should also put SubLogic newsletters on Amazon as well. It's hard to know what people want...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562867956447334651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881574431924666276.post-34181043187866134382012-08-17T16:07:01.965+00:002012-08-17T16:07:01.965+00:00Interesting!
