I was going through old files I had saved on dropbox and I re-discovered an extremely rare updated version (though still shareware) of The Pack Rat by Steve Blanding, that includes sound and music. Almost a decade ago I was obsessed with preserving these old games and scoured old BBS sites and archives for anything interesting I could find. I remember seeing "PACKRAT2.ZIP" on a txt listing of one, but it was no longer available to download, and after sleuthing and sending out a few emails I was able to locate and contact the owner of the BBS and they sent me the file. As far as I know, the game has completely disappeared from the searchable internet. If anyone is interested in downloading it, here is a link. I really hope it is preserved because the original version was one of my favorite games during my childhood and has a special place in my heart.
