Impressive haul, but what will you do when the diskettes fail? Are you able to make backup copies of the games with standard diskettes?

You can either attempt to rewrite the originals, or write copies from images.  I've had a few bad disks, but so far I've been lucky and have been able to repair / rewrite them.

Yeah as long as you have the capability to write images to disks then you should be fine. The packaging/instructions is mostly where it's at anyway (aside from the actual game!).

Got in the motherlode today:

All X68000 games:

Valis 2...

You had me at "Valis 2"... Please do a very thorough review and post it here for me. I'm pretty sure you played through the PCE Valis II. If so, compare/contrast, when possible!

GODDAMN, all those classic games on the X68000....

Beamer gets all the coolest toys.  I gotta ask my gf if I can have permission to go over and play at your house.

X68k Valis II has very nice graphics, smooth scrolling, and fantastic music.  However the control is beyond terrible, the worst control in the entire series, and that's saying something.  You are essentially locked to a grid (think Tomb Raider), but no "walk button" so you constantly run off platforms to your death, plus UP to jump and you need good momentum or you will not make the jumps.  The music is so good I keep playing it anyway though.

Anyone passing through Knoxville is welcome to stop by.
