This is just getting ridiculous.

and yet another one! That makes how many this month??? I think a con may be going on. Maybe someone made 10 fakes and sold them at game conventions pretending not to know the title's value.
It's too suspicious for me.

Or maybe the rumour has spread through newspapers, friends, eBay notices or otherwise that Mt Drash has (at least boxed copies) sold for ridiculous amounts lately, so everyone and the dog are digging into the closet?
Since everyone have slightly different images, it either is genuine items, professionally made replicas or advanced Photoshop work. I assume some part of Sierra On-Line still exists, at least for copyright and other legal reasons. While it may have been researched before, maybe there is a figure from them how many copies once were made.

All trying to play detective are we? Im sure its as simple as someone emailed the guy and said "hey Ill give you $600 for it right here, right now, done deedus cleetus!" and the seller shat his pants and said "Alrighty then!"(jim carrey style) and with a fiendish laugh and a click of his heels he closed the auction down to sell to him.
Or maybe not.

Well they are so far as copying the contents to another tape but reproducing the title work would be much more difficult I would think. Worth the time to try obviously but All the copies I have seen so far look to be the exact same as the one I have. Even the yellow tape leader in the pic of the cancelled auction is the same. None of the auctions so far have been as complete as my copy but definetely the boxes have been in better condition.

It was nicer when I thought it was worth thousands
The nwcge was good! I was dissapointed at the lack of commodore support but one person there had a sx64 set up for people to play and some other items for sale. The first time I ever saw a sx64 in person. I thought it would be bigger than it was. Heavier than I thought it would be. lol
Im not into much else except nintendo so the rest wasnt extremely interesting for me but it was still very cool to see all the vintage gear, play some games and bullshtein with people with similar interests. I also stopped in at a persons place that I met on irc #C-64 and did some trading and visiting. Was cool. I would do it again in a heartbeat! Wish I could go to some of the bigger venues back east but that probably wont happen for a few years unfortunately.
