Well, I'm not sure where you're located, but here in the Chicago area
there is a chain of used software stores called 'Cyber Exchange
Software' that all have a pretty extensive library of mostly older
titles.

They may be willing to do mail-order.

Sorry I don't know the number, but there is one in Downers Grove, IL,
one in Countryside, IL, and several others. I'm sure you can get the
number from information.

List your desires on the net. i for example have several hundred games
many of which i would love to unload. if you want a regular store, they
are hard to find. the ones here in new mexico go out of business
eventually.

I would gladly kill for a game of M.U.L.E. that will run on a
pentium IBM without having to overly tweak things (What can I say? I'm
lazy.)

I'm looking for Modem Wars ( which needs to run on a P100)

Thanks

You know that SSG are doing a sequel to RFTS to be published by Microsoft
Christmas 1998? The website's at
http://www.ssg.com.au/index_files/RFTS.html

I think it's still at the stage where they're open to suggestions - drop em a
line! Since you're in Oz, you might even get on the beta test list...?
