God I love to go to used stores and get old games. I just got
Starwars Dark Forces for $1.91 (US)!
neat.
i've been looking for a copy of the original Worms United (worms plus the reinforcements pack together), the Sold Out version is crap, they added their stupid installer software and took off the Ocean logo video and scenario and it just generally doesn't feel the same to play now.

whats up with THAT ^ Victor?
EDIT: Btw: I also got NovaLogic: Wolfpack but its for mac (which i didnt notice) and I dont have mac. But its mainly for Nastalgia (sp?)
Crazily enough, I can play Dark Forces with no emulation or compadiblility adjustments.

I own several mac versions of games, despite never having owned a mac, or even played games on one. Since I mainly buy old games for the boxes, manuals and extras, I rarely even expect the floppy discs to work, when I buy pc games, so if I find a mac copy cheaply, I grab that. I got Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade mac version for less than a dollar at a flea market, with all the grail diary and copy protection stuff included. And for about the same price Full Throttle mac version just for the box (fortunately I already owned the original pc cd-rom with jewel case and manual in an oem version). If my computer could only read the mac cd-rom I might even be able to play in in ScummVM.
i own the CD32 version of James Pond: Robocod, sadly i lost the Amiga CD32 console auction and have been looking for the SNES version ever since... sort of...
Robocod got re-released on the gameboy and PSone, if you got either one of those. (Or play the PSone version on a PS2)
(Is it not on the PC? I suppose the CD32 version did have more colours probably..)
I got Eric the Unready as a gag gift.(it is, its a HOOT of a game ;D) i got The Dig for 5 bucks, Wing Commander 2 for $2.50.as well I got Civililzation for two and a half bucks, but ONE issue there, its on 5 1/2 inch floppys( now i know WHY ;) ) my saddest thing is that i have myst, I got it bundled with riven,(this was at radio shack) and i have completed it, basicly. i later was playing Riven however, just cruising along, nt doing much, when when the cd started spinning at HYPER speed! I open the door, it SHOT out, without slowing down. the third disc TORE around the bottem of the cd rack, scratching it self to oblivion. NOW i got to find a replacement disk. Ã, :'(. oh well i got cmi, emi, and, (illeagally Ã, :-[) mi1 and mi2. so, i am mostly happy with my colection.BUT I MISS RIVEN :'(
Thats crazy, at the store I went to there was a Riven Demo but I have the full game (along with all the other Myst/Myst sequals) so I didnt buy it.
I played Myst on the Amiga. After waking up from being comatose, I vowed never to play a myst game ever again.

the GBA version is different to the original, it doesn't have penguins in it and some of the enemies are different because of copyright stuff, plus the originals (especially when it comes to amiga games) are always the best.
Does the CHEAT code still word in the non-Amiga versions of Robocod?
