I had over 50 OEM Mac OS 8.0 discs for a while. I ended up throwing them out. I bet I could have found someone to take them.

I have 11 copies of the Bungie network game Minotaur: The Labyrinths of Crete - we used to play it quite a bit on the old LocalTalk (and later Ethernet) networks.

Do you happen to still have any copies of this game laying around? I would absolutely love to have one for my collection of games and I would pay you a good amount for it. If you have any left please let me know!

Civilization. Every version. Although given that they play differently, and run on different machines, I'm not sure they count as the same software. The same concept, perhaps. It's like claiming that VW have made 37 million Golfs. The original, 1974, car is so different from the car of today that it's disingenuous to claim that they're the same product.

You have my sympathies. I think thereโ€™s an ointment you can get for that though.

Does Simple Text count in this? Everything came with a copy of Simple Text to open the Read Me.

Without a doubt I have more copies of Simple Text than anything else. Then it may be Disk Copy

I have a similar box full of OEM Windows 3.1 disks.

I also have, somewhere, a box full of Dell Latitude D6x0 lower RAM slot doors with various OEM XP license keys (I think there may be a couple Vista ones too).

I'm sure I can think of more if I bother long enough.

What do you mean by "most copies"? I have digital editions of a number of products, and I've downloaded them many times, and backed them up to multiple backup media. Multiple copies of the same versions, AND official installers of each point release.

If we're talking original physical media though... I don't have much of that anymore; mostly single copies of products. At one point, I had hundreds of Disk Tools floppies though ๐Ÿ˜€
