Unbelievable, eh? Why didn't these guys buy the games when they were released so that the big companies would not have left the Amiga because of piracy :((

Maniac Mansion for 71 Euro ($90 US) : Comment 3 of 3ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 2 (ehaines):
Loads of people DID buy Maniac Mansion. LucasArts were one of the *LAST*
companies to drop the Amiga (they were porting X-Wing vs. Tie-Fighter and
never completed it..)

The reason Amiga games like this sell for so much is because it's rare to find
one in such good condition - look at the pic, and there is barely a frayed edge
on the box! Plus if it works and has the codewheel (nearly always lost..) then
it is truly an exceptional find.

I myself have plenty of original games I could sell on eBay but they are in so
unacceptable a condition (torn boxes, no manuals, indeterminate floppy quality)
that they would certainly NOT garner $7 each, let alone $70.
