Missing Some PC Big Box Contents (WHAT SHALL I DO!?)

[becomelikewater]

Okay so, I bought a big box copy of Redneck Rampage off Amazon for PC and I just received it today. When I opened the box I noticed that this copy is missing the little envelope that said Interplay on it but has everything else. I have major OCD and I'm on the verge of spending more money for a copy that has everything that came with it. Is it logical to do that? or am I just crazy? Someone please say something that will let me rest easy.

Don't worry, I have the same feelings when it comes to the complete game copies, and I don't care if it's logical or not

that's one reason why i don't by used games on amazon. User descriptions on there are awful most of the time. As much as people piss on eBay, it's nice to actually see a gallery of photos and read lengthy descriptions on what you're buying.

If anything, I'd check the original listing to see if they describe everything in the box, whether any replacement housing was used, etc.  You could also check with them about offering a partial refund for not sending what was advertised if so.  I feel ya, though... I'd be agonizing over it, too, but would eventually just settle for what I had.

It might be difficult for a seller to actually determine what constitutes complete when it comes to older boxed pc games. I have some with so much stuff that I didn't think came with it. So yes, pictures are more important than a description so a buyer can see what they're getting. Having said that, if I have a box and a manual with the game itself that's complete enough for me. I don't need registration cards, envelopes, advertisements, bits of plastic wrappers, etc.

I do like the catalogs that come with some games like Lucasarts, Broderbund, or Sierra. Those are fantastic.
