Defcon is absolutely amazing - I think we are going to have that installed on the network for night shifts! Nothing more spooky than planning nuclear war in pitch black offices via the harsh glow of a CRT screen!

especially when the other guys are near by/in eye line you can feel the tension rise through quick glances and who's going to launch first

Aye! That is one of the most impressive games I have played in a long time - was not too much too it either, shows a game doesn't have to be stupidly high def graphics etc to be fun and enjoyable.

quickly draw up a coin with a cool hacker sign made out of 1's and 0's on one side and a lock pick on the other

My plan is to get a replica of a pound coin made, but with my face in place of the queens.

You cant start a sentence with because.

Yes you can. It will need to be a complex sentence with the subordinate clause preceding the main clause.

Is your username supposed to be ironic? Because I didn't understand a word of that

(there's my sentence starting with because)

I have never seen someone confuse personal projected value with group projected value so much!

I have a copy of Uplink (Any of you remember that game? The hacker one?) When they originally made that it was pressed and burnt in their garage and distrubuted from there - then when they got a publisher they mass produced it. The programmers then found a box of 300 of the original home-pressed discs and numbered and signed them and sold them as a collectors item. I have No.09 if I remember right!

Personal value - quite a bit! I loved that game and felt a little bit of a connection with the devs.

Actual world value - Probably not a lot, I might be able to sell it for £20-30 maybe but nothing too fantastic - and that would have to be to a hardcore fan and collector in that particular area.

I have uplink, also my son loved it and the theory behind it.
Just not come to much.

I am now fed up and bored with this thread.
I am happy to argue straight on but not around the houses, so if you want to row with me go for it .

I think you are hoping it will be worth something more than it realistically is probably worth, especially as it is a 3RD party unofficial thing.

I hope you didn't get stung paying too much for that thing.

Because I didn't understand a word of that, I found his username ironic.

You quoted me MoreMoney - but no reply/response?

Rich

EDIT

You wrote /in/ my quote - wierdly. And still managed to make no sense with what you said.

I had a clear out recently of loads of old games most of which fetched a quid or two. The ones that shocked me where as follows:

Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (big box original)

All sold for £40+ from memory.

Oops. Chucked the box out a few months ago for taking up too much shelf space!

I used to have the big box (cardboard box thingy) version of the Sims, the very originial. That has a huge following....shame i havnt been able to find it for years.

Personally I can't see gaming memorabilia being worth a great deal unless the game is an absolute classic. STALKER doesn't fall into that category.

Unique/rare memorabilia for a genuinely ground-breaking game like Doom, I could maybe see that being worth something (authenticated concept art, say).

Ah what I would give for authenticated Doom artwork - or one of the clay models they put in the 3D scanner to make the designs!

*Dreams*

I think this thread should be about what gaming memorabilia you own - to take the nasty Stalker 3RD party coin taste from our mouths!

Anyone else think it's time to ask Gilly about his limited edition banhammer?

How heavy does it fall and does it stop at one?

There am I... while you are all sleeping. :-)

So the coin already made it to UK? Wow, never thought it would be that fast...

Pretty funky how this thread turned but it was a fun read... with over 70% not related to the topic but sure I noticed a lot of traffic on the project page today.

My turn to go sleep.

Bye!
