That's what I was thihking, too, especially since there are at least
three places in the Bay Area that have a variety of the bookcase Infocoms
for about $7 to $15, unopened. Not a great selection, but between the
three you could find 80% or so of the games. Of course, the older-style
packages would be rarer.
