Introduction:

Hello everyone!

This is 'Revision 4' of my Amiga WANTED List.

Well, I'm not as new to the world of Amiga now, but I am no veteran. I am still looking at expanding my ever-growing Amiga library--and I need your help.

I'm focusing primarily on buying shmups (shoot-'em-ups), RPGs, and action games--namely side-scrollers like Turrican and top-down shooters like Alien Breed...

...However, I will buy any games that interest me, so I am always open to recommendations and suggestions!

My references:
--I am a 100% positively rated eBay buyer with over 100 transactions since 2002.
~Here is a link to my profile.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Games:

Here are the games I am looking for specifically, along with the priority (Low, Medium, High, etc.) I am placing on finding each game:

--Apidya (High) (*I have a sealed copy, but don't want to open it.)

--Shadow of the Beast I and II -- Big box editions. T-shirts optional. (Low)

--Eye of the Beholder I and II (Low)

--Disposable Hero (Not CD32 version) (Highest Possible!!)

--Lethal Zone (Low)

--Phobia (Low)

--Hybris (Medium)

--...And as always, your recommendations.

If you have one of the above games available, or have a game you would like to recommend, then please reply here or send me a personal message.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expectations and Guidelines:

--PLEASE: Note the condition of the game and what is included, such as 'disks only' or 'complete'.

--You have the option to name your price. I will gladly consider every offer.

--If you would like me to make the first offer, let me know and I will do so.

--I will gladly pay over $50.00+ U.S. for games that I cannot find elsewhere--especially 'Disposable Hero', which is at the top of my list right now.
~However, to justify the above pricing, games must be complete and in excellent condition.

--Please Note: I frequently visit eBay and vendors of Amiga games, so I know what games typically sell for.
My offers will be priced comparably to items on eBay and other vendors.

--I may request pictures of your games to verify their condition and ensure the legitimacy of the offer.

--I do not take kindly to being cheated or ripped-off. I will do everything in my power to prevent this. I may decline an offer that I find suspect or ask for further proof of legitimacy.
~This is not a personal attack on you, but my personal defense against fraud. Sadly, I have been cheated before on eBay and Amazon.

--I will pay with PayPal. I am a Verified 'Premier' member and would prefer to do business with other Verified or Premier members.
~If you have questions about Premier membership, please ask. It is free and very, very beneficial.

--I am willing to arrange other means of payment.

--I will buy from anyone, anywhere in the world.

So, those are my basic expectations. If you have questions about them or anything else, please message me.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In closing...

Even if you're hesitant to sell, please make me an offer. The worst I can do is decline and then neither of us will lose out.

I will update this list regularly and post updates, which will include additions or subtractions to the list and pertinent info.

Thank you in advance for your offers!

(EDITS MADE: I changed the list and a couple of other things.)

Hi,

I have Black Crypt for sale (for 5 euros), which is a rather highly looked RPG. I also have Insanity Fight for sale (for 2 euros, disk only), which is a shmup, but I've never actually tried it. If you want more info on these titles check out these two links:

Black Crypt: http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/details.php?id=165
Insanity Fight: http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/details.php?id=2262

Other titles I'm selling can be found here: http://www.lemonamiga.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6181

I can provide you with photos of any of these and they're naturally all original.

I don't have time for a proper update right now, but I do need some help.

I'm looking for the manuals, in English for the following games:

-It Came From the Desert
-It Came From the Desert II: Antheads
-Turrican 3

If you have English manuals for the above games and are willing to part with them (for payment, obviously), then please reply or PM me.

Again: I don't need the whole games, just the manuals, in English.

I have the games with German manuals, but as I do not know German, I'm a bit out of luck.

Sure, I can figure the games out without the manuals, but I'd kind of like to be able to read the documentation anyhow. I'm weird, I know. Smile

I'll post a true update when I have time.

Thanks, everyone!

(Although: if you do have the complete games in English, I may be interested. Message me.)
