Ultima Escape from Mt. Drash - The Tape

Ultima Escape from Mt. Drash Sierra tapeUltima Escape from Mt. Drash manual vic 20

I know that the Commodore Vic 20 tape of Ultima Escape from Mt. Drash is ridiculously rare and that boxed copies of it are practically impossible to own, but a starting bid of 2500$ for a tape and a manual without a box do seem quite steep. I mean the tape isn't in such a hot condition anyway... Still, incredibly rich Sierra and Origin collectors should look no further than this very Ultima Escape from Mt. Drash link. It's on eBay, it is.

Oh, and for those wondering, no, Richard Garriott did not create this Ultima title. Actually, he wasn't even aware of its existence for quite a few years since the game was published. Interesting, eh? Well, you can find more about this most obscure of games here, here, here and here.

Mother 1+2 GBA

Might be a Japanese version that -not surprisingly- is actually in Japanese, but that doesn't render the excellent Mother 1 and 2 unplayable. Far from it. They're still great games to enjoy on your GBA. Grab 'em.

Red Baron (PC)

Red BaronRed Baron, the WWI flight-sim released by Dynamix and published by Sierra, is -easily- the best flight simulator I have ever played and one of the most immersive, interesting and fun games to ever hit MS-DOS PCs. It also happens to be a lavishly boxed game (you'll be using those maps and the hefty manual quite a bit, mind) you can own via this Red Baron PC offer. Oh, and don't forget to read this rather excellent Red Baron retro review either. Seller ships worldwide.

Schneider CPC 464Unlike the British version of the CPC, the Schneider CPC 464 does away with the coloured keys and actually manages to look both beautiful and quite a bit like the CPC 6128. The computer was intended for central Europe -mainly Germany- and you can try and get yourselves one (complete with green monitor) via this Schneider CPC 464 auction. Seller shockingly ships worldwide and offers truly fair shipping costs.

That's why I'll simply point you to this pretty excellent Leather Goddesses of Phobos eBay auction. The box is complete, even sporting that 3D comic and 3D glasses Infocom crammed inside, looks to be in great condition and the scratch 'n' sniff has neither been scratched or sniffed. This is the Commodore 64 version of the game and the seller ships worldwide.
