Collecting PC Games
« on: August 04, 2015, 03:57:49 PM »


This certainly has been blowing up in recent years. Back in the day PC games didn't have anywhere the value that the console games did. Now even relatively common (at the time) games are worth big bucks if you have complete (or sealed) copies.

Well unless it's Wing Commander III as all of those are pretty much worthless :)

Still, might be time to rummage through the garage..

Haha, I was just searching ebay the other day:

"Hey! I wonder what Wing Commander III is worth these da--- ...oh."

Sam & Max Hit the Road value is all over the place, however.

I still have most of my old LucasArts games complete with boxes. Hmmm.

Yeah that's ridiculous.

Honestly I never really card for collecting PC games that much. The weird box sizes, etc. Plus most of the time that huge box would be almost completely empty.. just a few discs and a small instruction sheet.

The 8-bit era computer games were usually neater with the boxes and content.
