I know this may be a shot in the dark, but did anyone play any of these Sierra games in their youth?

Kings Quest
Hero's Quest
Police Quest
Space Quest
Quest for Camelot

I used to own pretty much all these as a kid and who knows where they went to. My dad put all our disks on CD when cd burners first came out and now they barely run.

I'm DYING to get copies of any of these games, and I would gladly pay.

I've got the original DOS version ("Runs on Windows XP"!??? Pff..). You can have it for, oh.. $100. Inclusive of postage.
