I recently bought a small lot of games that contained an CIB USA release of Secret of Monkey Island for Atari… I asked the seller just to ship the monkey Island game (to save on shipping) and even took the time to send him a message stating I wanted the box sent too (along with the rest of the content)... he said he’d be sure to send the whole box...

I wait 5 weeks, and I get an odd small package in the mail… inside is the content from this box crammed into a tiny box (damaging all the paper work)...

I’m still in shock over how careless the seller could be… odds are he threw the box away so now all I have is the badly damaged content...

Witch I paid almost 3x shipping for (he obviously chose a way cheaper method then I paid for) and according to the tracking number, the post office didn’t get it until several weeks after I bought it (priority mail)....

Like I said, I could almost cry when I see things like this… just wanted to share this with you guys... ]]> The Secret of Monkey Island omar http://forums.vintagegaming.org/showthread.php?t=2960 http://forums.vintagegaming.org/showthread.php?t=2942&goto=newpost Mon, 30 Apr 2012 17:19:32 GMT I was wondering if anyone here actually opens the game boxes. Most people here even seem to have never played the games at all... and lots of others can't even access the diskette contents anymore (either 3.5" or 5.25" diskettes). I don't have a single closed box in my collection... :P ]]> Chit Chat HouseMD http://forums.vintagegaming.org/showthread.php?t=2942 http://forums.vintagegaming.org/showthread.php?t=2941&goto=newpost Mon, 30 Apr 2012 11:56:24 GMT Why hello there! I have a question concerning box size of different versions. Are there any regular sized ones out there or did it only come with the odd dimension box that is my version? It just doesn't look right on the shelf with the rest of my Lucas-games that is my humble collection. ]]> Grim Fandango apl1985 http://forums.vintagegaming.org/showthread.php?t=2941 http://forums.vintagegaming.org/showthread.php?t=2940&goto=newpost Mon, 30 Apr 2012 00:29:13 GMT Hello again, guys!

I just noticed that the sticky version history info for Zak states that the enhanced version included with LucasArts Classic Collection had its copy protection removed. Can someone confirm this?
My version of LucasArts Classic Adventures Collection still has the copy protection scheme, the Exit Visa codes. Are there any other versions of this collection around? I also have the UK version and the disk contents are exactly the same...
Thanks for any information on this! ]]> Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders HouseMD http://forums.vintagegaming.org/showthread.php?t=2940 http://forums.vintagegaming.org/showthread.php?t=2939&goto=newpost Sat, 28 Apr 2012 18:46:51 GMT Hello everyone.
I'm looking to buy a manual for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (IBM VGA sets).
Thanks. ]]> Trading Post HouseMD http://forums.vintagegaming.org/showthread.php?t=2939 http://forums.vintagegaming.org/showthread.php?t=2938&goto=newpost Sat, 28 Apr 2012 18:29:39 GMT Hey again, people. I noticed i have a complete backup copy of Indy Last Crusade v1.4. My original disks were all unreadable so i formatted them (6 5.25" disks) and wanted to copy the right files again to their correct disk. Thing is they apparently don't fit, at least not like in the 1.3 version. Anyone here can post the original file list for each disk for this particular version? That would be a great help. Thanks. ]]> Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade HouseMD http://forums.vintagegaming.org/showthread.php?t=2938 http://forums.vintagegaming.org/showthread.php?t=2937&goto=newpost Thu, 26 Apr 2012 21:40:29 GMT Hello again, people! My 1992 box of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade VGA was bought on ebay and had no manual... just 3 3,5" disks, the quality Grail Diary, a LucasArts leaflet and the Adventurer nr. 4. I've searched here and wanted to ask you guys if the manual on this version should be the same as the one on the 1990 Paradise VGA version. Can someone confirm this or there is yet another different manual? Thanks a lot for any help! ]]> Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade HouseMD http://forums.vintagegaming.org/showthread.php?t=2937 http://forums.vintagegaming.org/showthread.php?t=2935&goto=newpost Thu, 26 Apr 2012 12:31:44 GMT Hello everyone. I've been watching this site for years and i just decided to join it. I was wondering if anyone here knows if the games in the dutch Tien Adventures compilation are in dutch or english. I believe the box presented in the museum says that the games are in english but i'm not sure. Its german counterpart, Zehn Adventures, has german versions of all the games, so i was wondering about the dutch release. Does anyone here has the actual cds? Also, how much would that cost? I've never seen it on ebay so it's probably expensive but i'd love to check the executable files on those discs. Thanks for any help, guys! ]]> LucasArts HouseMD http://forums.vintagegaming.org/showthread.php?t=2935
