Ironman273 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I have some old PC games in their boxes that have been sitting on my shelf for about a decade or two. I was thinking of finally getting rid of them but was wondering if they were of interest to anyone. I'm not sure if all the boxes have the discs and/or manuals. I'll check if and when someone's interested. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1382611-i-have-some-old-pc-games/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Nice. I had to get rid of the boxes I had for mine awhile ago. And eventually just got the GOG or whatever companies release. I miss seeing them on a shelf. Also I miss the manuals. There is nothing better than a paper manual.

+Zagadka Subscriber² Posted May 8, 2019 Subscriber² Share Posted May 8, 2019 Kinda wish I had held onto old boxes. Only have Tribes left as a trophy. But that is a lot of shelf space and I've moved over a dozen times since 98. Though strangely I still have several boxes from Apple ][s I stored in my parent's garage 25 years ago. I'd say, if you are left to trash them, hold onto the manuals and discs at least for a while. Those, as Xenon said, are still valuable and far easier to store. And I've seen some people make cool decorations from the discs etc. RIP LucasArts.

Nick H. Supervisor Posted May 8, 2019 Supervisor Share Posted May 8, 2019 I would take the Star Wars games and the C&C series, but realistically I know that it wouldn't be worth the hassle getting them working and it's best left to nostalgia. Ah, Encarta...I wonder how outdated the information is on that disk?

They're not worth much to me, maybe to a collector or for nostalgia. 6 hours ago, Nick H. said: I would take the Star Wars games and the C&C series, but realistically I know that it wouldn't be worth the hassle getting them working and it's best left to nostalgia. Ah, Encarta...I wonder how outdated the information is on that disk? Not just that hassle, but also getting them to Switzerland! Do you want them?
