Hunter, i have found 6 used system shock 2 games on amazon, ranging from 38 dollars for just the disk in scratched but functioning condition, to over 200 dollars for a pristine box and manual and unused disk copy. so, no, its not impossible to get it, just nigh on impossible. same issue for a lot of old games, hey, you try getting a pristine wolfenstein 3d these days! im lucky ive still got mine, fully functioning, boxes, manuals, the add ons, all on Floppy Diskette of all things, as i dont think ill be able to replace it with a physical copy, only a GOG datafile. wich kinda sucks,as to me, you just cant beat a box and manual and disk/diskette physical copy.

That's why I still have my 3.5 inch and 5.5 inch floppy diskettes for Stratego with the original box and code generator!
RE: Old Games Freakin' Rock - the dark side - 12-27-2012
the original code generator? my goodness, thats rare these days, fantastic it has survived so long! 5.5 inch floppy? you just made me feel young! i only go back to 3.5 inch!

You guys are reminding me of some more games!
1) Roller Coaster Tycoon
2) Silent hill 2-4 (haven't been able to play the first as it requires a PS1 memory card and I don't have one)
3) Rampage (Playstation)
Great stuff!

Now that you mention original medium, I have the original World of Xeen CDs (the combo game made up of Might and Magic 4 and 5) I don't have the box though, it was lost yeeeaaaars ago, which is a shame.

I sold my mint-condition Quake 2 disk and my original mint-condition Hexen 2 disk. I also go rid of some newer games (Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 1), Emperor Battle for Dune (I enjoyed it... Original jewel case edition, average worth is $40 on the internet, max is $80). I think I got $50 for it. I use to have waaaayyyy more than I have now. I downsized...
RE: Old Games Freakin' Rock - the dark side - 12-27-2012
i dont think i ever sold a game that i have loved. i dont see the point, because i know im gonna miss it, and it may be impossible to get another copy.
hmm, suprised no ones mentioned the original "Red Faction" yet, that game is a real forgotten gem. an innovator in its time, being one of the first FPS games to have envioronment destruction, with thumpy shooting, fun gameplay, and a suprisingly deep main charachter. shame its been forgotten, how come it has?
