    I would like to get:

    Beginning Grammar (black shell, orange font)

    Number Magic (black shell, orange font)

    Decimals (black shell, orange font)

    Fractions (black shell, orange font)

    Fractional Numbers (white shell, green label)

    Addition and Subtraction 1 (white shell, white label)

    Division 1 (white shell, white label)

    offering 35 USD + shipping costs to some address in America.

     

    The product number from the Manuals is cut out because that was the proof of purchase for a cartridge. TI had an offer for some time, if you send in 6, you got a free Speech Synthesizer.

    Sounds fine. I assume that you have a friend in America who is willing to ship this stuff on to you in Austria?

     

    Thanks for the information regarding the manuals. Come to think of it, that may be how I acquired my speech synthesizer.

     

    :)

    oh yes, US only :)

    I take it you guys blasted me and my USA-only shipping policy before making your edits. ;)

     

    I realize that most of the demand for this stuff will come from Europe, and I'm sorry that my USA-only shipping policy sucks for those of you who live there. My experiences with selling internationally have been so aggravating, however, that for sanity's sake I restricted my sales to the USA years ago.

     

    Nevertheless, I think there have been some improvements with regard to international shipping in recent years, and if I can print international postage online with tracking, and if you have sufficient positive feedback as a buyer within the community, then it may be possible for me ship to certain countries*, provided that you respect the fact that I absolutely will not lie on a customs form for you.

     

    Not promising anything, but I'll look into it. If anyone from the USA has made a recent international shipment and can share their experience and offer up some tips, I'm all ears.

     

    ...what is this "AMA-Link" ? Maybe you can make a copy ?

    (and HCJ too) :)

    I'm not exactly sure. From what little information I could find about it online, I suspect it to be a terminal emulator of some sort. I have no PEB, however, so I've never been able to test it or any of the other disks I have.

    Taking offers on what remains of this TI stuff as one lot. It weighs 4 lbs., so domestic shipping will be $6 to $17, depending on destination.

     

    Here's what's left.

    Before I list these things on eBay, I thought I'd check to see if there was any interest in them around here.

     

    My apologies for making a "taking offers" thread. The folks over in the TI section of the forum provided some very helpful information in regards to the rarities of these items, but beyond that and looking at sold listings for the same/similar items on eBay, I don't have enough information about the value of these items to confidently set prices.

     

    Eight of these carts come with a manual (see photos to match manuals to carts). All manuals have a small section of the lower right corner of the back cover cut away. BTW, can anyone tell me why almost every TI manual I've ever had is like this?

     

    All carts have been tested to at least their title screens. None of the disks have been tested because I have no way of doing so.

     

    I won't break up the cart/disk combos of E/A, Multiplan, and TI-Writer. These will only be sold with their cart and disks together.

     

    Paypal only.

     

    I ship to the following countries. USA, Canada, Austria, Belgium, Great Britain, Germany, France, Netherlands, Switzerland.

    Yeah, the four or five lists I've found are quite divergent.

     

    I have ~40 educational games I plan to part with, and I'm trying to determine which (if any) are worth selling individually and which should be sold in a lot. One list says game X is "Very Rare" while another says "Uncommon".

     

    Confusing.

     

    And what of all these label variants?

    Oh, Man! Oxyd, TaskMaker...

     

    Giving me flashbacks.

     

    I doubt that any of these discs had those particular games on them. These were mostly MacAddict discs from late 90's, 2000, and early 2001 that I kept around because they were packed with official Apple software updates and were really the most convenient way for me to archive that stuff.

    ALL GONE

     

    Over the next little while, I'll be offering some "free-for-the-cost-of-shipping" stuff in this thread. Whatever I can't interest you guys in will be thrown in the trash.

     

    USA only and Paypal only.

     

    PM if interested. Please be prepared to transfer funds quickly. I'm not willing to hold this stuff. It's first come, first served.

     

    And because it's only the shipping costs that you'll be covering, which will be exact, I'm comfortable requesting that you transfer funds using the "gifted" payment method, so that I don't get stuck paying any additional fees.

     

    PC Games

    Fallout Trilogy - Disc in case, covered by outer cardboard sleeve.

    Ice Wind Dale II - Two loose discs with manual and map.

    Blackthorne - Disc in case with insert

    Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault - Four disc set in case (broken hinge) with manual and outer box

    Super Pong Console

     

    I haven't tested this unit. The tip of the start button has worn or broken off, but what remains of it seems to function fine for its purpose. However, it may need to be repaired. Battery terminals have some corrosion on them.

     

    Weighs a little over 3 lbs., so shipping will be $6-$12, depending on your location.

    I remember it being somewhat boring, back then I only finished it because it was quite easy. Still looking forward to go after its platinum sometime soon :)

     

    Yeah, it’s not a very challenging game. It was probably a bad idea to require players to complete the game on its lowest difficulty level before allowing them to unlock anything harder. The game is also relatively short, so I was considering going back through both campaigns now that I’ve unlocked the “Hard” difficulty level, but I suspect that “Hard” just adds more enemies and gives them longer health bars. I doubt the AI sees dramatic improvement.

    Devil May Cry 2 (PS2)

     

    A decent hack-and-slash held back by unsophisticated AI that doesn’t demand any tactical variety from the player. Button-mashing is sufficient throughout, and it gets a bit repetitive. An atmosphere and sense of desolation is well-realized, but beyond that, there is nothing in the game to elevate it above the mundane. (6/10)

    Condmened 2: Bloodshot

     

    A substantial improvement on its predecessor. The combat is deeper, the forensic elements have been enhanced and refined, and the level designs feel less restrictive. The first 3/4s of the game was an 8/10 experience for me. Unfortunately, the game completely loses its focus over its final levels. The sudden tonal shift is jarring as the game attempts to accommodate a couple of grandiose set-piece levels that feel like they belong in a completely different game, while the story turns from servicably vague to blatantly stupid.

     

    There are flickers of genuine greatness in the game, but the finals levels critically undermine the entire experience. (7/10)

    Call of Juarez: Gunslinger (360)

     

    An extremely linear affair, essentially “on rails”, to a degree that this game probably would have been better off as a light gun game. Aside from a couple of mediocre “quick-draw” showdowns and the gathering of a few collectables, the majority of the gameplay is entirely one-dimensional, amounting to little more than a series of point-and-shoot, pop-a-mole shooting galleries. It quickly becomes repetitive, and not long after, descends into tedium. The narrative is gimmicky, but I suppose it serves its purpose as something of a morality play well enough. Although the affected Texas drawl employed by the narrator grated on my nerves.

     

    I assume the idea here was to play this game as an arcade-style shooter, where you would attempt to rack up as high a score as possible and try to place on the online leaderboards. I can see how playing it in that way might shift my expectations, but I don’t play games online, so that element of the game is lost on me. I can only judge this game at face value, and in that respect, it doesn’t offer a whole lot. (5/10)
