... But it was just in that box? I must have put that stuff there back in like 2002 and completely forgot about it, unless I actually had found it again at some point and put the folder there (or back there?) but not remembered it at all afterwards... really though, I think this was the first time I'd seen this stuff in years and years. Amazing, I thought it was gone.
(The only way this could ahve been better is if my five or six missing papersleeve PC CD games I lost around that same time had been in the same box... but sadly no, I wasn't quite that lucky. Oh well...)
I doubt anyone cares, but I found my folder full of codewheels and code sheets! Years ago I had completely given up on playing non-cracked versions of these games again, so seeing them all again is just amazing...
I'm going to list it all just because I want to. :)
-Hardball III Codewheel
-Summer Challenge Codewheel
-Gear Works manual (contains the codes required to get past copy protection)
-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles code sheet (bah, that game is so evil...)
-Zool 2 codewheel (I was wanting to try this game again, now I can!)
-SimCity codesheet
-Commander Keen: Aliens Ate My Babysitter manual (copy protection is that it shows you an image of an enemy and you name the enemy; manual contains enemy list. You can find this information online, but this manual is obviously the easiest way to get it... makes playing the game easier. :))
-Lemmings (DOS ver.) manual (here both for required codes needed to install and for the password page in the back that I was filling out as I reached the levels. Evidently I got to level 28.)
-Lemmings Paintball manual (for the password list I was making only, not any required codes)
The rest of the stuff is on paper.
-Norse By Norsewest password list page (up to level 7... the keyboard-only controls really annoyed me, I wanted to use pad...)
-Rebel Assault 2 passwords (for all levels)
-Lemmings Paintball passwords (the section in the book wasn't enough to fit all the ones I got to, so I started a new sheet)
-Starfire passwords for levels 2 and 4
-A second Norse By Norsewest password sheet, also going to level 7
-Dschump password sheet, passwords for levels 0 and 1 only
-Sonic & Knuckles Collection password for the infinite secret game mode, just one password though
-sheet with a few Bumpy (levels 2 and 3) and Dschump passwords (again levels 0 and 1)
-Worms 2 passwords, up to level 13
-Failed attempt at mapping a Planescape Torment Modron Cube dungeon
-Quest for Glory I overworld map of my dad's, done back when we first played the game in the early/mid '90s
-Quest for Glory I notes page of mine
-Castle Adventure map of mine(with all but the basement complete...)
-Castle Adventure map of my dad's, complete floors 1 and 2 of the castle
-Commander Keen 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 overworld maps, plus partial Keen Dreams map, on a total of 5 pages
-Keen Standard Galactic Alphabet conversion chart page
-List of some common SGA phrases from Keens 1, 2, and 4 and what they mean
-A couple pages of Dr. Brain notes
-Heroes of Might & Magic 2 cheatcodes page (partially printed, part written)
-Starcraft cheatcodes page
-Kirby Pinball cheatcodes page, with Dschump again (with a level 2 password!)
-Rebel Assault 1 cheatcode page (important, given how hard that game was!)
-Rebel Assault II cheatcodes - four printed pages (not needed to beat the game, but because there's some amusing stuff you can do with them... :))
-TIE Fighter Keyboard Commands (vital for the game! I needed to learn a lot of commands for this game, so having them written down really helped...) There are also some passwords on this page for something or other, but I'm not sure what exactly... levels 4 through 8 or something. :)
