He's a box turtle the size of a JV football, and he scoots around the yard at an impressive pace. I have a strange suspicion he may be eating my dog's plops, which isn't a bad thing for me.

lol I don't remember what you got.

If you have a bunch of black carts with similar labels (+ a "TRS-80" logo on the end label) then you have a bunch of launch (or near launch) carts. Expect some really simple (but decent) games.

Oh that's right!

Castle of Tharoggad is actually a dungeon-crawler, and pretty rare. Nice find on that one.

Downland is one of the more famous Tandy exclusives. It's like a cave-exploration platformer.

Those are your two best. Good haul!

The thing is huge. Easily 3-4 times as thick as the LoZ book that came out.
I had considered picking it up but was turned off by the price.

even at the Amazon price? How much do you think it should be? It's right in line with most other books its size/quality, IMO.

I don't really have a standard of comparison. The only art books I've purchased are the Hyrule Historia and the MM25: Mega Man Complete Works. But looking at the price for that, and looking at how much is in this, I think I'm going to go and purchase.

Oh wow, it's not even eligible for Prime shipping. It must be sitting in some strange middleground; when I purchased my floor-standing AC unit from Amazon it was Prime eligible.

It was prime eligible. Is it still sold through amazon or an affiliate now?
