Hi everyone,

This assortment came in a lot recently, they're not really my thing.

I'm not really sure which books go with which disks.  There's no packaging other than what you see.

My first thought was to ebay them, I'd appreciate any advice or a heads up if any are particularly interesting.

Thanks in advance!

I draw the line at collecting... Dallas Television Role Playing Game

Did we need: The Magic Dump

Shoulda been: ".. from Pangreenia to Floratopolis, from mystical Treeonia of spectral Forests to Schruborial dimensions." - The Forests of Leng

Can't you pick up most of these older games on GOG.com?

So without the original boxes, I don't know what value they'd have...

I don't think any of these are available on GOG.  It would be cool if they were, especially the old SSI gold box games like Pool of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds.  Spent a lot of time on those games.  Quite enjoyable at the time.

Not sure if they will run on modern operating systems though.  Might have to find an emulator to use them.

Thanks for the replies gentlemen,

I don't have a machine with a CD drive so I can't easily tell, but yeah they're from the early 90s, would be reasonable to expect some challenges getting them running.

I'll probably offer them up on ebay for a token amount and hopefully find a new home for them.

DosBox will run them...
