I am full of envy that you managed to get your hands on one of these. I'm sure back in 2009, it wasn't quite as absurdly priced as it seems to be now on ebay and amazon. Random side note, were you aware that Wolfenstein 3d was ported to Apple IIgs and the Atari ST? A few people from Logicware (responsible for the Mac and 3DO ports of Wolf3d) started on the project around the same time as the Mac and 3DO ports and it ended up going through a lot of nasty delays and staffing changes until someone completed the project on their own personal time in early 1998. It's an interesting version of Wolf 3d, and it all came to fruition because the CPU of the IIgs was the same as the one in the SNES.

collector items are bought separately not in packs like that a good collector can tell by the item number and say which batch it comes from so in a way that he opened isnt really worth as much money as it is in lovable game time. im happy i bought 2 versions of all games back in the day 1 to play and 1 to collect i still do that. and true he didnt need to open it to enjoy it. but sitting on a high end PC and play these games gives you the wrong feeling sitting on old PC and pop that floppy in

-ModernDoomer89 I wish I had more id Software stuff, but being as rare as some of it is I only have a few other items of note. I too have the id Anthology (rather, just the Book of id with the CDs, lots of -retail- shareware versions of their games, many of the original Softdisk and Gamers Edge floppy releases of their older titles (like Catacombs Abyss, Apocalypse, Armageddon) the Commander Keen CD-ROM collection, and course the normal boxed retail games like the Quake series and Doom II.

How they managed to fit Shareware DooM on just 2 floppies? I remember it was like 9 Megs in size (correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyway awesome: )
It's funny how much stuff was supplied with old games. I still have Longbow 2 from 1997, and besides usual stuff (2 CD's, box and registration card) it has installation guide, multiplayer guide, keyboard layout sheet and whole damn book on how to play the game and fly a helicopter and shoot stuff: D

-badazzboxer You do actually -shoot- your opponent when you find him, but yes, it was more of a maze game than a full-on shooter. I also just remembered id Software also made Hovertank 3D in 1991, one year before Wolfenstein 3D. In that game, you do shoot some baddies here and there and pick up some good guys, you're just doing it in a -tank. - I agree that it was the ultimate FPS that defined the genre before Doom, though.

-MrOcelot9 Okay, lets straighten things out.
You are probobly thinking about the 5 1/4- floppies. You are right there. But there is a second kind. What you think is a hard drive is a 3 1/2- floppy. There are more, but those are older, and uncommon. An example is the 8- floppy, which is huge. You will see several different sizes and types. There is no one floppy. Don't say something unless you know what you are talking about.

I'm going to have to agree with you on that. I recently got my hands on Radiant Historia for the DS, which is supposedly one of the best games on that handheld. Before Atlus did a reprint, finding the game brand new was about $100. I snagged the game during the reprint, paid only $25, and opened it up the moment I got my hands on it. It's hard to really value a game when it's sealed in a box, unplayed.

I guess my big issue is that I don't have much money, so I have to make it where I can if I want to be able to afford stuff for my classic gaming hobby such as pc parts and games. Not that I'm poor, just that most of my income goes towards bills and raising a family as well as making sure I have an emergency fund and I have little extra to spare for hobbies.

i could understand if its a rare game that you cant get easily using legal methods. yeah you would want to play and enjoy it. but its wolfenstein and doom. millions of ways to play either game. i would never open that. get to look at the cool stuff inside yeah, but then you probably will never play the copy you just opened. why not leave it sealed?

Hey LGR, if you're still reading your old video comments I too dont like opening new game boxes: P that cardboard crease in the middle is permanent. Gotten used to it since older games are less sealed now (as far as price range goes, and others have also made the same mistake many times over. Just watching through some of your oldies, still fun!
Thanks.
