Ultraboy94 Posted August 1, 2011 Today I couldn't believe my luck when I found a bix box copy of The Ultimate Doom in a charity shop. I bought it for the sticker price of £3, and brought it home. The box has a little damage at the bottom but otherwise perfect, all 5 original Floppies are present, the Manual is in good condition, and when I opened the box I also found 2 extra D! Zone V1.3 floppies included. I can post images if needed, but is it a good deal? EDIT: Oops, wrong forum. Please move to Doom General. 0 Share this post Link to post
Khorus Posted August 1, 2011 No, you got ripped. 50 cents at most. I got my ultimate doom copy in a similar fashion, a couple of years ago a second hand games store was closing down so they were clearing stock. Box and floppies were in perfect condition with ordering cards and such, only con was no manual. $9. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted August 1, 2011 You did well, and the D!Zone floppies are a nice bonus. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ultraboy94 Posted August 12, 2011 Sorry for the sorta bump. A friend of mine just installed a spare floppy drive he had into my computer, so I've installed D! Zone onto my machine (As I can run the WADs through Skulltag, the Ultimate Doom floppies I have just for collector's sake. Haven't tried the WADs yet, but this has certainly made that £3 a good deal. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dark X Posted August 18, 2011 Fantastic deal. I was in a record shop (one that also sold little stupid items up front) and I found some manual for Doom II. I forget the price, but it was too much for me to give a fuck. 0 Share this post Link to post
StevieWolfe Posted August 18, 2011 If it was the DooM II strategy guide by Ed Dille, I'd fucking kill to have it. I used to have one, and it got ripped off years back. I loved that thing for some stupid reason. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted August 18, 2011 That guide still turns up on eBay - here you go, no bloodshed required 0 Share this post Link to post
