WTB: old PC games

2011-01-05 04:17:43 am

Hi

I'd like to buy some old PC games that are usually hard to get from ebay or other auctions. It can be new or used, jewel case or big box.

Here's my list of games I played and/or have in posession: http://www.backloggery.com/games.php?user=ewil

Ownership: Other or that blue wheel under game's name means I don't own it, so there might be a chance I would buy it.

I got:
Rise of Nations
Settlers IV, UbiSoft eXlusive version.
Both are pretty much brand new as I never truly enjoyed them and hardly touched them since my first play session.

I SHOULD also have 2 games from the Earth series (RTS like Command & Conquer / Total Annihilation) lying around, I know I owned them at one point but I haven't seen them for about 2 years. I will dig some when I have time. Both games should be pretty much brand new if my memory serves...

Let me know if this is interesting, I'll probably part with them as I never really play them...
Note that these are Sweden bought games and manual/boxes may be Swedish only in some cases, I can check closer upon request.

Settlers IV and Rise of Nations sounds good. Earth games can be bought as complete edition iirc, so I'll probably buy that one instead.

Alright, throw me an offer you believe is fair for Rise of Nations and Settlers IV.
Shipping should be 10.35€ normal, if my scale works correctly. Sweden's postal service is screwed to hell so I will not send registered, unless you feel you wish to add 11€ (I am NOT joking, that's the price for tracking ability Sad

)

Sorry, the shipping is way too expensive for EU. Besides, I've checked eBay and you can buy both games there for just a couple bucks.

It's actually a crustacean!

Did you already check gog.com? They usually have pretty good offers of old games. There also is a, I think British, label "Sold out". They re-release old games and they clock in at around 3-5€ (at least via amazon.de). I personally picked up some nice gems from this label.

I know about GoG, but the problem is you don't own the game physically, which is what I want. I'm more like a collector.

There are more companies than just Sold-Out and I pretty much own all the good games from them, but they don't release everything Sad
