@tatsujin: did you not post on triggerzone.de that you found an awesome shop which has a lot of titles?

Not sure if your an Ultima fan, but if your a fan of action rpg/adventure games, Ultima 6 is a must have if you don't already own it. Full speech and an english language option makes this the definitive version of the game. Depending on where you are, such as in caves/dungeons, the system generates an echo in the speech which is a cool little bonus.

And getting a complete copy will cost you at least $250, and you'll never find it in a store. The Western games on Towns are interesting, but generally not enough to justify the price imo. Stick to the Towns exclusives like Rayxanber if you are actually gonna go down this route.

only looking for RPGs at the moment.

Which is why I'm confused that you want FM Towns versions. All of those RPGs are ports. They are NEC PC88/98 games originally. And they are WAY cheaper there. Sure the Towns games are on CDs, so no floppy worries, but a Towns CD-ROM drive is just about impossible to replace...
