Not sure why I hung onto this stuff for so long.  It is not like I have a working 5 1\/4\u2033 FDD; actually I did, but I put this into the Good Will pile as well.  Seriously, when I ever try to hook up that sort of relic again?<\/p>\n<p>I also parted with the original Sim City.  I burned countless hours on that game my freshman year in college.  I also found Sim Ant; never did much with it despite actually liking ants.  That is a story for another day; remind me sometime and I will share.<\/p>\n<p>I also uncovered Master of Magic and the Official Strategy Guide along with Sim City 2000.  I kept both of those.
