Abuse is pretty important because it was one of the first sidescroller shooters with WASD + mouselook

Classic Video Games / Re: Yard/Garage sales
« on: August 29, 2019, 02:00:35 am »In 2019 while living in a small and mostly rural area? Forget about it. It's done. 10 years ago, the 80s/90s nostalgia bug had not yet hit big, there weren't television and media articles promoting the notion that "you could have valuable toys collecting dust in your closet / this person sold their Nintendo game for $10,000", and not everybody had a phone with 3G and a web browser yet.100% agree on this
Because of those factors, lots of old games hit people's front yard and were sold at rock bottom prices. Not so today. Everyone is far too savvy, and it takes a really rare kind of ignorance to still let go of them as if they were completely worthless and obsolete. The chances are maybe 1/100 and it's just not worth that in time, effort, gas money, headache, etc. I don't care if it's rare and sought after, they can keep it. I'm really done with game hunting. I had a good run with it, but it's far past time to hang it up and I can't recommend yard sales to new collectors. I think it's a waste of time now, unless you seriously can't afford to pay the online rates for what you actually want.

They were only sold in Costco and Sam's Club, same with pretty much every other big box release after 2001. I don't blame him for that price because PC GTA big boxes are super rare.
Interesting! So what's different inside the two "big box" releases? Do they have the same jewel case and same maps-manuals-inserts?

everything including furniture in the style of anywhere from the 80s to the early 00s, giant ass tv from the 80s or 90s, my voodoo3 setup sitting in the corner on an old desk with a nice trinitron monitor and big ass 2.1 surround sound speakers and my consoles on an old looking shelf
presumably on the first floor of my house
seriously tired of all that "millenial retro game collector" bullcrap with lights everywhere and flatscreens because it just looks tacky and unfitting

General / Re: Where do you get your games?
« on: November 12, 2018, 04:36:09 pm »I've actually found more than a few boxed PC games at the thrift store. I found a big box Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun and Battlefield Vietnam before. Thrift shops are also where I picked up boxed versions of most of the older Battlefield games and World of Warcraft games. Found other stuff here and there also like older Call of Duty and such. I haven't gone hunting in awhile, but I really should just for that. I love PC game hunting, because most of the time it's real cheap and as long as the stuff isn't trash. Less competitive than console gaming stuff too since most of the stuff is unusable or unplayable. Most of the time it's purely for the box art.HOLD UP
A BIG BOX Battlefield Vietnam? I want to see this, I love later big box releases.
