Well, I can't get the box to glow at all.

Bit disappointing really.

Huh, maybe it was regional or something (UK vs US release). I had no idea that it glows though.

Or doesn't.

Bump for an interest check:

Would anyone be interested in the ORIGINAL Prince of Persia (DOS, 5.25 & 3.5), complete in triangular box w/manual and everything? I can't find it for sale ANYWHERE at the moment, and this is the only place I'm going to post it for awhile. I'm thinking $210.



I'm absolutely dead broke right now so if anyone would like to place an order on anything, it'd be HUGELY appreciated. The Corsair power supply friggin exploded within the new computer, and I had to buy another one. So basically, it's going to take forever to get my refund back from NewEgg and I'm $120 poorer than I expected to be.

Saibot, your stuff has been boxed up and ready to go out, I just haven't been able to get down to the post office before the weekend. Like I said, Wednesday at the latest, but I'll probably have some errands to run before that so no worries, you'll get a tracking # soon enough.

Help me out, folks!

My three games, everything was in perfect order, all the games manuals (soundtrack for Driver), and even old advertisements were in there. Even had the old musty smell attached that makes me smile! I shall be playing these soon!

P.S. Major props to you for keeping the game boxes and ads, that's like holy crap awesome.

I was positive there's an actual name for the smell you're talking about, but google is failing me at the moment. Anyways, he's a little explanation about it

And you're not alone in loving the smell either, you can buy it in perfume form here

(I'm a perfume nerd, sorry )
