I'm thinking about having some booties made and selling 'em for just enough to cover expenses*. When (if) enough are sold, I'll do another game on the list; lather, rinse, repeat 'til we run out of games worth the effort. Are any of y'all interested in such an endeavor and if so which game to get the ball rolling?
The above US titles were chosen for being among the priciest and hardest to find (Dungeon Explorer II, Beyond Shadowgate, and Bonk 3 CD were also considered but omitted for not being quite as difficult to get), and the two PCE games were chosen for not being available at all in a pressed disc (in English for M.T.). I'm open to suggestions though if these don't get yer motors running. Personally, I'd love to have pressed copies of the translated RPGs, such as Xak III, Ys IV, and Dead of the Brain when it's completed, but I think the above games are a better starting point.
* - It's about $1000 for 500 copies with jewel case, color tray insert and eight page manual; cheaper packages could be considered, but this seems to me to be the sweet spot. Considering the size of the Turbo community and how few copies of the homebrew games were sold, I'd probably have to sell them at $4 or so to break even; but if the response is greater than I'm expecting, I'll reduce the price accordingly or give a discount on the next booty. In short - I'm not looking to profit anything other than a few more fun games to play, but neither am I looking to 'invest' $700 on a few hundred copies that'll sit on the shelf unloved for all eternity.
