That is really helpful thanks, and definitely not more information than I am interested in hearing since it does explain the discrepancies between what I have and all the items online. Plus the full history was very interesting and I appreciate the time and effort made. Apologies for not making it clear I was from the UK earlier, it was when someone quoted a figure in dollars that it occurred to me it was probably important. As far as listing it on Ebay, I'm not sure if I will. Judging by the reaction I got from the I.T. guys at work who normally aren't overly interested when I approach them, whereas today I have never seen them so animated and they were falling over themselves to help. I guess it is a pretty cool thing to have and if I ever get a man cave / den (UK houses tend to be small) then it's the kind of thing I would like to display. Don't get me wrong, if it was worth thousands then I think it would have to go but assuming I might get a maximum £200 for it ($240 post-Brexit exchange rate if that means anything to you) then I'm tempted to keep it. At least now I have a rough idea of value, especially considering it nearly ended up in landfill. I just wish I had more free time, since reading these forums has brought back some great memories and I would like to take a look at some of the new stuff.

Thanks for the advice. I did take the discs into work today and tried to check them on a USB 3.5 drive. Only the 2 Shareware discs would read on the USB drive (see images below): Shareware Disk 1: http://imgur.com/3SpMVp6 Shareware Disk 2: http://imgur.com/sYhPkPq One of the I.T. guys at work thought it may be to do with the PC the USB was connected to, so went to their storeroom and dug out an old laptop with a 3.5 drive that did read the 4 Doom disks (see images below): Doom Disk 1: http://imgur.com/aRLb4Df Doom Disk 2: http://imgur.com/1eIVsps Doom Disk 3: http://imgur.com/W3vMoPi Doom Disk 4: http://imgur.com/QSJxkNW I didn't check the upgrade disc since it is in a sealed packet and would prefer not to open. From my limited knowledge it does appear that it is a version 1.1 of Doom. I take your point about the version not been printed on the discs, and whilst previously checking the internet to try and ascertain if it was worth anything I had already noticed that most of the discs had a version number on, or the words "Registered" or were in red font - all of which are different to what I have? I honestly cannot remember where I bought it from (nearly 25 years ago), although I do remember receiving Spear of Destiny and Doom through the post so I guess it was mail order. Unfortunately I don't have any receipts etc. Another thing I haven't made clear is that I live in the UK, so not sure if that would make a difference to the version I have? Not sure what else to say, apart from a couple of days ago I was clearing out all my old stuff to list on ebay (much of which went straight in the dustbin as worthless) and even if this doesn't turn out to be worth much it has been an interesting couple of days trying to find out and thank you to those that took time to reply. Once again any feedback appreciated.

Many thanks, hope I have done it correctly. Imgur links below: http://imgur.com/9GztTPm http://imgur.com/eCnup32 http://imgur.com/HHYYuIy http://imgur.com/nnrivWW http://imgur.com/gKS2PHJ As previously, any feedback appreciated.

Good evening everyone, Let me make a quick introduction - I originally started playing Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny on PC in 1992, and when Doom was released a few of us at work set up a LAN and spent countless hours after work playing through all three episodes. Since then I have had less and less time to play games due to wife, kids, work etc so it has been very interesting to read a lot of the posts on this forum, which brought back lots of memories of a game which we often played until one of us noticed the time and realised we were due to start work again in a few hours. Anyway I digress, the reason for the post is we are currently in the process of moving house and whilst going through all my storage boxes (I won't repeat what the wife calls them) I found the big boxed version of Doom with instructions and 3.5inch disks. Since we are E-baying a load of our stuff before we move I thought I would check to see how much I should list it for. What I thought would be a 2 minute E-bay search turned into about an hour of web searching (which brought me here) and I am still none the wiser. There is lots of talk about V1.1, V1.2, Registered disks etc but the set I have doesn't seem to match anything else I have seen exactly (i.e. the disks don't have the version printed on them). I was hoping to just post some pictures but I do not use forums in general and there appears to be rules around posting pictures / attachments etc. and I didn't want to break a rule with my first post. If someone could advise the easiest way for me to post the pictures I would appreciate it thanks. In the meantime what I have is the following: Large box with picture of marine on front being attacked by Demons and the three episodes listed on the back. Large Doom booklet (16 pages) with Instructions etc. x4 Doom 3.5 inch disks with Doom in Blue font and labelled Disks 1 to 4. x1 Doom update 3.5 inch disk Registered V1.1 to V1.2. x2 Doom Shareware Version 3.5 inch disks and labelled Disks 1 to 2. The other problem is I don't have a computer with a 3.5 inch drive anymore, but if it's important I can get access to one to see what files are on the disks (assuming they're still readable). Apologies for the length of the post, but if someone can give some advice as to what I have or any more information required I would appreciate it. Thanks
