eBay ou la folie furieuse!!!!!!
Oyez, oyez...
Vous avez dans votre grenier un stock de vieux logiciels originaux
(<-- c'est important je précise) datant du tout début
des
années 80?? Oui?? Et bien, dépêchez vous d'aller
louer un coffre à la banque et d'y déposer ces
précieuses boites qui, en ce moment il faut bien le dire,
valent de l'or. Et ce n'est pas prêt de s'arrêter!
L'Apple II fut un précurseur en son temps et plus les
années passent et plus tout ce qui est sorti comme software sur
cette machine se fait rare et intéresse les collectionneurs...
Pour assouvir sa passion de nos jours, il faut sacrément avoir
les poches pleines de dollars :-(((
Je vais régulièrement mettre dans la weblog du site les
enchères s'étant achevées sur un montant
astronomique.
Quand je pense que ces titres ne représentait à la "belle
époque" que quelques disquettes parmi des centaines d'autres
dans les boites à disquettes des utilisateurs "de base", vous
allez êtes surpris de voir ce que quelques unes d'entre elles
coûtent aujourd'hui.
Ce pourrait être un métier financièrement rentable
d'aller
dénicher des originaux dont personne ne veut plus et les
refourguer à des prix déments sur eBay. Un business
autour
de l'Apple II, un métier d'avenir!!!!!
Commençons par le dernier en date: Ultima II.
Allez, devinez ce que vaut un original?
Pas d'idées????
Et une claque, une... : 743 dollars US

ULTIMA II: Mint, Sealed
This is a very rare, mint copy of Ultima II (for the Apple II) as it
first shipped in 1983. It is sealed in the original shrink-wrap and has
never sat on a store shelf. How do I know? I worked for Sierra Online
for many years and was there when this product was rolling through the
assembly line. All employees received a free copy and mine has been
safely stored away in a box with other vintage Sierra Online treasures.
This is one of the first Ultima IIs to be packaged and includes the
fabulous cloth map. Happy bidding on this time capsule of computer game
history.
Please contact me with any questions before bidding. I have an
excellent ebay rating so you can bid with confidence! Payment must be
made within 7 days of auction close. I accept paypal or a money order..

On-Line Systems' Softp*rn Adventure (1981)
The first home computer game for adults!
Progenitor of Sierra's Leisure Suit Larry series!
The Apple II version, brand new and still sealed!
Offered in this no-reserve auction is a copy of Softp*rn Adventure, a
mildly sleazy text adventure for the Apple II published in 1981 by
On-Line Systems (later known as Sierra Online).
This historic release was the first commercial computer game marketed
for adults only. Written by Charles Benton, the characters and
situations were later re-worked by Al Lowe into the first Leisure Suit
Larry title.
NOTE: This software is intended for sale to collectors of classic
computer games only. Its text-only display is hardly p*rn*graphic by
today's standards, but the prose does contain references to
unmentionable items like cond*ms (gasp!), and it may require the player
to type a naughty word. Player discretion is advised ... but who would
be dumb enough to open the shrinkwrap, anyway?
Some amusing quotes from the back cover:
"This delightful game has more features than most adventures."
"Your objective? Find and seduce 3 girls! ... As in real life, meeting
this challenge is not an easy task."
"The subject matter is such that adult males should find this game
quite interesting."
"WOMEN! ER0TICA! DERELICTS! BO0ZE! and MUCH MORE!!"
Incidentally, the young lady sitting in the right side of the hot tub
is Roberta Williams, co-founder of the company and author of the
best-selling King's Quest series.
Ce dernier point est rigolo quand même.
Il est vrai qu'on est plus habitué à ça:
|
|
qu'à ça, non????
" A miracle from the bedroom "... ha ha ha (ok je suis grave!)
|
Et un jeu d'aventure en mode text, ça vaut quand même
moins cher.
Vivi faudrait pas déconner quand même!!!
