I agree re Paragon.

It surprises me that this machine does not command more dollars, much better overall package IMO than other games of this vintage that fetch much more.

You would be surprised. I've seen them go for $1200 a couple of years ago. Nowadays, I get asked "all the time". I've been offerred stupid money for mine - but I won't sell !

Same with Fathom. The only Fathom I've ever seen on eBay went for $1400. Now you would be lucky to get one for under $4000. Collectors keep games like Paragon & Fathom for good reason - They are "player's" machines, that co incidentally have appreciated over the last 5 years.
