Temple of Apshai, Crush Crumble Chomp

I just acquired 2 boxed Epyx versions with full instructions and cards etc. in excellent condition. Does anyone need anything scanned?

Not really my sort of game, though I never played a "dunjon quest" on the Vic.

Will probably be sending these back to Ebay for someone who loves them to enjoy.

Over the past 10 years it's been my mission to scan all of these EPYX games. Last year I finally got a copy of Temple of Apshai (the hardest title to find in the box) and completed this mission. I took hi-res scans of all the contents, plus every face of the box.

My Temple of Apshai box is a little beat up, but I got it for a really good price. I would be interested in better scans of the box, and perhaps knowing when your auction is held.

Is your Apshai the US version (published by EPYX) or is it the European version with the green band added to the top of the box and distributed by CBS?

I have both myself (Epyx version), just not scanned everything. In fact I think the box scans in GB20 are now from my versions...

Thankfully I have all the Epyx stuff done (and in my collection). When GB20 comes out, I'm sure people can fill in the gaps...

Ral,

You might be interested in these scans. http://c64walkabout.com/2009/04/17/scan ... pshai.aspx

If you have any similar RPG or SF themed original manuals lying around I'd very much like a scan of the "fiction" backstory stuff!

Cheers,
