Willy waving competition!

I got my first PC back in about 1988. I pirated a game called Gato from a work PC which wasn't very successful with the result I played the game for hours but it crashed continuously.

I made a little promise to myself that to not pirate again since reliability was more important to me than cash.

Since then I have bought about 300 PC games which I still have in a huge pile of boxes in the garage. Wife moaning regularly.

Old game specs along the lines of 384K of RAM, EGA 16 colour graphics card, ad-lib sound card, PC-Jr seem like a different world.

Sighs nostalgically.

I was pondering about buying that on wednesday, but I don't have a set of handle bars and thought better of it. :(

lol, it felt like you were getting much more for your money, but I'm glad we have dvd's and dvd cases for games as there would be a load of boxes everywhere instead of dvd cases.:D

Noticed the Band of Brothers box set, a favourite amongst my own dvd collection. You have good taste.

My game collection is lame tbh, consists of:

Call of Duty Deluxe Edition
Halo
GTR2
PES 4, 5 & 6 (2008 will be added tomorrow)
Tiger Woods 07

Not sure if they count but i have the demos for Attack Over Pearl Harbour and Race 07 on my Steam account :)

My DVD collection is simply films I really love. I always rent films then buy them if I love em.

You have to start some where. If like me you just buy games and never get rid of them you'll have loads too.
