that work at all post offices.Since some of the things were messed up i
can send you Carmegeddon 2 Splat(28 Floppies),not available in the US,or
Grand Theft Auto possibly the best game ever made its a MUST have,but
on (19 Flopppies),also RAMA boxeed and for the IMB,Ascendancy boxed for
the IBM,and also if you like access to my 24 hour game bbs which has
every classic game ever made up
to present.....
The graphics are sharp in LOL2,man i couldnt figure out ANYTHIN
either,thats why i got rid of it,Stonekeep is like a supercharged
