QuoteTo me, it sounds like the data on the disc itself is corrupted. It's an inherent danger, especially when storing media in temperature extremes. Games at flea markets or that people had boxed up in their garage experience large temperature variations and are exposed to various amounts of moisture as the temperature fluctuates. Not saying this is the case with your particular game, but those temp extremes cause the adhesive that holds to two halves of the disc together to losen, allowing moisture and air inside. This reacts with the aluminum layer that contains the data and virtually destroys it. Good point! I'm willing to accept the loss. It was only $1.00 from a thrift store. I learned a lot from this thread. So I appreciate all of your help.
