On apple ii GS.. honestly the only game that really interested me was Skate or Die. I recall looking at the box at a Sears store in Hanes Mall where they had random software on a shelf in a corner. The first thing that blew my mind from the pictures was the graphics. The half pipe was actually made of wood! I vaguely recall trying to emulate it years back and it ran like dog shit. Should revisit it to see if emulation has improved.

Sorry, saw your post on IRC but we have not been active at the same time - haven't found a box yet. We are supposed to get blasted with 5 feet of snow this weekend but once I can get out I will just buy a proper box to ship the monitor and board in. Apologies for the delay, shipping things is the thing I am worst at.

99% of IIgs games were released on the Amiga as well. Of course one exception to that was Skate or Die -- the IIgs is the only 16-bit version of that game. The two games I remember playing on the IIgs were Tass Times in Tone Town and Zany Golf, but those were both released on the Amiga as well.

No rush at all. We will need to ship the monitor and actual computer separately. We will also need to wrap any heavy items such as the power brick in separate bubble wrap from the rest.

Try not to apply any tape to the keys on the computer. That may or may not be how I lost the tilde key on the C64c Flack sent me along with my excitement opening it.

Both computer and monitor should be wrapped in at least 3 layers of bubble wrap, and the void of the box should be filled on all sides with crunched up paper. Newspaper, stolen printing paper, Victoria’s Secret catalogs, whatever. So long as the package can be thrown, mashed, etc and still be thrown or pushed. I will gladly compensate for shipping materials and pay fees for 2 separate packages. This is basically the same fashion I have got my Vectrex and a few valuable arcade PCBs moved around.. even by usps! Will of course use shipping provider of your choice.

P.S. sorry if I sound anal here but I want this to go down like magic and that box of Neo Geo carts (thanks again!) you sent me just had the carts rattling around in like a square foot of space. Totally cool for indestructible carts but this ST is gonna need a lot of love

Do you want to buy it? You get first dibs. It's the ST and monitor. (And cables.)
