OT: Game You Have But Never Play
I am going through my games and noticed that I have a lot of them that I have never played, or only played once or twice. What to do with them now is the question on my mind. I would hate to give them up or away like I have in the past only to find out that they were worth a lot of money anc could not be easily replaced.
Freespace 2
Imperium Galactica 2
Civilization 3
Call to Power
Call to Power 2
Elite Force 2
Diablo 2
Space Empires (original disk)
Alien vs Preditor
Soldier of Fortune
Blade
Medal of Honor
Armada 2
Star Fleet Command
Bolders Gate
Dungeon Siege
Deus Ex Invisible War
Knights of the Old Republic
Jedi Knight 2
Rise of Nations
Hearts of Iron
Europe Universal (sp)
Risk
Unreal
Half Life
Masters of Orion 2
Masters of Orion 3*
Rebellion (loved this game)
many many more.
All semi good games that I paid top dollar for and only played once or twice. (Some more)
* Utter crap game
I guess I could just keep them and someday play them, but games like Imperium Galatica 2 are interesting, but very dated.
I could auction them, but I would loose money and there is no garrentee they would sell and then I would still have to pay the auction costs. (God Ebay has become expensive)
All of this leaves me with one question, why, why did I buy them in the first place if I wasn't going to play them that much?

Re: OT: Game You Have But Never Play
Look around your home. I'm sure you will find loads of other junk that you never use. Video games are not the only type of consumer goods that we buy and then don't use. Unfortunately, advertising works. We see the RONCO infomercial and if it has any relation to our own life we buy the &$^&#@$^ pLastic do-hickey they are selling.

Re: OT: Game You Have But Never Play
I have this problem in my both my computer game collection and my boardgame collection. I still have games that only run on Windows 3.1, and even some that only run in AmigaDOS 1.3!
I can't bring myself to get rid of any of them; I have trouble even throwing away broken hardware.

Re: OT: Game You Have But Never Play
I know, I will launch gamerecycler.com and sell all my old crap for better than garage sale prices.
Any one interested in buying some old star wars crap? (Its either sell it or give it to my nephews who will promptly destroy it. You know when they say flaming tail, as in "Luke! Vader just flamed RED Ones tail!" my nephews take that literally and wo;; flame RED ONE's tail. )
