I had these on my old 486. The disks they were on went to the old dustbin in the sky ages ago. Sometimes I start feeling nostalgic and want to play them, but I can’t because I don’t know where to find them again. Bio Menace and Blake Stone. Sure they’re derivative, but I still enjoyed playing them-- especially Blake Stone. Hocus Pocus and Baron Baldric. Killing! With magic! Baldies. A sim-culture game. The first I ever played. Before Civ and War Craft. Before any SIM game, I played Baldies. What game did you toss with your old computer that you wished you’d hung on to? ---

That’s cool **astro** , but I wonder if I could buy the discs. The first link takes me to a very strange page. Is there a secret to getting in or is that really an error page designed by. . . someone? ---

I’m tempted to sign up for Ebay for Blake Stone alone. No, I’ve never even _looked_ at Ebay before, let alone joined. I’ve never flown in a plane and I can’t drive. I am a freakonature. ---
