« on: November 16, 2010, 06:37:33 AM »
Just Picked up this lot for $5 at a garage sale
nothing especially awesome, however the price was right
All complete and in good condition.



Also have another 30+ on the way. (pics when they arrive)
including 2 odd copies of duke nukem3d

One is a boxed copy of duke3d Shareware on 5x Floppy (i didn't know it was on floppy also) (haven't seen it yet)
The other is a Boxed copy of Censored Duke3d Packed with the Un-Censoring Floppy (box is a bit damaged)

What a bargain you got there! I'm most curious to that Duke Shareware, a floppy release is unknown to me.

yes me also, i have not seen pictures i was just told that it was a boxed copy of duke3d on 5 floppy disks.
Having never heard of a duke3d floppy release...I was very happy that it was thrown in for an extra for free from the seller at the last minute.

Hopefully it will get here by the end of the week.

Hey Spikey...
My original Duke3D I bought from 3D Realms boxed I bought on Floppy Disks as it was an option back then. :)  It came in a Generic Apogee/3D Realms "black" box.  Not everyone had a CD ROM when Duke 3D Was first released.  I am not even sure I did.  Lots of games could still be had on Floppy Disks back then.  I own Windows 98 on Floppy Disks actually.   Anyway, I do think that is the only Duke Nukem 3D floppy disks I have though.

Good luck with your collection. :)

Wow Spikey!! Thanks for the pics! Amazing its a preinstalled censored edition.

Australian Manacomm releases are nice, well documented and does deliver nice original box art. I'm desperate to find a ROTT package.

I do have a Wolfenstein 3D, Extreme ROTT and Blake Stone: Planet Strike release from them.

On what website are you searching? Or are those offline finds  ;)
Do you have advice for us on where to search for australian releases?
