Torchlight is free for the next 48 hours on GoG! It doesn't look like it, at first. But when you add it to your cart, it comes up as free. I just got it! I was informed with an email from GoG.

i bought some old software, it called lotus cc:mail mobile release 2 for windows and its rare, theres no info on the net about it and i could only find two pics of it,
one pic was the mac version and the other was on the internet archive on the lotus website in 1996. now i have a problem, its new old stock and dont know if i should open it up because it could up in value in the future especially rare item and there is a growing market for software collecting

It's Lotus software, which means there's lot of copies and it's not worth anything.

Going back to listing PC games:  Another reason I'm having a difficult time deciding whether to list my physical PC games is that neither of my computers will run most of the games I own anymore (thank you Vista and XP).  So with them being essentially unplayable and in a binder (read: coasters), I don't see an overwhelming need to continue to include them in my numbers.  Like I said, they're nothing particularly special anyway.

However, I feel a bit hypocritical about this as I include XBLA titles...   

Also, to make clear, I don't have any swag or "game-related" items in my numbers - aside from strategy guides, and even then I'm considering taking them out as well.  I have a bunch of swag and soundtracks myself, but can't bring myself to list them as they're not games.

Decisions, decisions...

I kinda felt the same way about the whole "games" thing...I guess that everyone here will (eventually:) figure out what *they* feel right with - and go with that.

"My" answer/decision was to look at this as a site for listing my gaming *Collection*, as opposed to just my *games*.

So, (I still have a lot of items to get around to adding) -but- my eventual goal is to list all of my *physical* items that I consider as part of my gaming collection...and not bother with any digital-only shit.

Then again, that's just me -and- of course, everyone else's mileage may vary - I don't personally think that there's really any 'set' "right" and/or "wrong" answers or ways to do this

You don't have to list the stuff you don't want to add.

I still have around two thirds of my physical PC collection, unlisted. Why? Because that's a lot of disc only games and it's not worth adding them right now.

Have you tried using DOSBox? You usually have to use a program that makes it playable with the much faster processors we have now. But it seems to work well.

JAMES GANDOLFINI DIED!

Sadness.  :'(

[soera]

I know this is going to sound odd but I didnt know who he was by name. When I read that, I was thinking the actor that played Gandolf for some reason.

Its pretty sad ... he was only 51 and on vacation. That sucks.

If I have any say in it, I want to die on a Monday. I'll be pissed if I go out on Friday at 4:29.

DAMMIT!!!  My work just turned Websense on to vgcollect.com. I guess I'm only going to be on here by phone. This sucks.
