EOB 2&3 have been sold, and EOB is tentative.  Send mail if you're interested,
and I'll reply with the status.

Tentative sale here also... Yes, it's WC I AND both SM disks for $25.

No strikes on the Elviras yet...  They're quasi-rpg games, for those of you 
who've never heard of them; puzzle-solving is like Sierra adventures, while
spell-casting requires the collecting of ingredients/components, and combat is
mouse-driven, point-and-click style.  In both games, the objective is to
survive/wipe out the monsters, undead, and demonic creatures.  The cut scenes
resulting from your onscreen "death" are quite amusing.  256-color VGA and
extensive sound support are included in both.

Tentative sale on X-Men, too.

Previously overlooked: Tongue of the Fatman, by Activision: late 1989 VGA
arcade game, with AdLib/MT-32 support, plus, MCGA graphics.  Survive in the
Fight Pits by use of your fighting skills and dirty tricks from Dr. Kadaver's
weapons shop.  $10.

ALSO: all games are in the original boxes, in most cases missing the
registration card, but otherwise in near-mint condition.  I wouldn't try to
sell them in any other way...
