assistant: * Copied from: SALE260
    Hi. I'm looking to buy the FULL version of Descent. I prefer the CD-ROM
version(I believe they called it the "Anniversary Edition"), but I'll still
take the 3.5" disks for the right price. If possible, please Email me with
what
you have and what you want for it, if not, please send a netmail message.
Thanks.
