It also is a highly collectible and definitely rare SNES cart these days, meaning you should probably be interested in this E.V.O.: Search for Eden (SNES) eBay auction.

Hanimex Pencil II

Australian (but Hong Kong made) 8-bit micro Hanimex Pencil II is an obscure and quite frankly lovely Z80 based computer, that was released back in 1984, and is pretty hard to come across these days. The machine came with 18kb of RAM (expandable to 80kb), 3 channel sound, 16 color graphics, the CP/M operating system, and a rather impressive range of expansion modules ranging from disk drives to a Colecovision emulator.

Interestingly, a finely preserved and boxed machine of the sort has appeared on eBay, and you can bid on it via this Hanimex Pencil II auction. The micro comes in its box, with poly inserts, power supply, all necessary leads, SD-BASIC cartridge, demo tape, and the 16k RAM expansion.

A most excellent Space Quest III box

Love it or hate it (seriously, how could you?), Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon is a classic parser-driven graphical adventure game, and a truly fine, funny, sci-fi, satirical, death-filled moment in the long history of Sierra. It is also the last Space Quest game designed by both the Guys From Andromeda, and, as you'd expect, a game you can buy via this Space Quest III (MS-DOS) eBay auction.

It is the excellent MS-DOS/Tandy version of the game you'll be bidding on, and it comes on both 3.5" and 5.25" disks, complete in its finely preserved box.

Boxed Atari Lynx with extras & games

Rise of the Dragon (MS DOS)

Rise of the Dragon by Dynamix (and Sierra), despite its flaws and irritating arcade bits, is one of the adventure games I absolutely love. Always did, actually. It looked stunning in its 256 VGA colours back in 1990, the first person point of view is handled admirably, the atmosphere is brilliant, the plot enjoyable in an over-the-top way and, well, I just love the thing. And, what with this Rise of the Dragon (MS-DOS) eBay auction, so can you.

You'll be bidding on the boxed VGA, 5.25" disk version of the game for MS-DOS. The manual, comic book, registration card, disks and Sierra catalog are included, and everything seems to be in great condition.
