Hey all, Just wanted to share a 'funny' story: Yesterday I received a very nice loose crystal BF from Bodderick. Because I am never at home when the post arrives I let sellers send parcels to my parent's address. My mother brought the parcel and I unpacked it while she was still in our house (please remember me to NEVER do that again!). Iain packed the game extremely well and I needed at least 10 minutes to remove all bubblepaperlayers, etc. My mother saw the crystal screen and she said something like: Oh, that's a nice one! Is this the first one you have of this series? (Of course she didn't speak in English but in Dutch! ). I said that I already had one (a crystal climber) and before I knew it she asked: "Is that glass?" and she knocked on it with her weddingring!!!! I was furious! d**n, how lame can you be? She knocked really gentle, but still! After she had left I examined the game thoroughly and came to the conclusion it was unharmed. Phew! Never ever will I show my games again to somebody who doesn't understand the (sentimental) value of g&w's. Regards, sAner

LOL! :biggrin: If my mother tried to do something like that, I would probably do some karate movement or something to prevent her from touching it.. !! It would be a strange sight to anyone who isn't familiar with the games.. :biggrin:

lol, that's bad. Good thing it didn't get damaged. All kind of bad things could happen when a game like that arrives in the hands of someone who doesn't know what it's all about.

Yer, but it's also fun to watch people who have no idea, particually when they are looking at your collection remembering there childhood, and they say somthing like "ohh, an egg, I had one of those...." as they pick it up and start fiddling...
to which you reply, "um you may want to but that down as its worth 400AUD".
then they almost drop it, as there jaw drops...

heh, what would you do if the crystals didn't work after that? a few years ago my sister and hes boyfriend was fighting (so he kicked her out) so she came to me becaus she needed a place to crash. One day when i got back from lwork i saw my sisters kid EATING one of my G&W games :eek: i when't something like this WTF!!!! HES EATING MY BABY!!! and she when't something like this: it's only a game, i didn't think you would mind :shifty: if i would have a expensive collection like you guys i would be really screwd there, but as most people know i don't I stick to those cheap games that i can play with insted
