Write your reply.

assistant: Sounds cool mon,i like Stonekeeps graphics and voices,kinda
an overlooked game.Ill send Carmag 2+ Grand Theft Auto.
Ascendancy is a
Star Control type game.
Carmag 2 and GTA  will require around 50 floppie disks,I will
see what kind of bargain I can find and send them off.
