What do you do with your Old PC Games

Davey D · 10 Nov 2008 at 16:25

every so often i go through all my stuff, and throw away what ever i havent used for a while.

One of the main things im always unsure what do do with is my old PC games... i have loads of games lying around that are from around 2001 upto present ( since i have already thrown, or given away all my games older than that) i have filled my bin with all the games i never play anymore like Call of Duty, Half life, UT2003 etc etc but it always make me think what a waste

What does everyone else do wih their old PC games that they havent played in years? its not like with the consoles where you can trade them in, so i have to do something with them

Throw away and/or take an image first if I think I really am likely to play it again

I've never thrown any games away, always sold them or traded.

Although some i've regretted selling so i just keep them all now.

Try and sell them or give them to friends/relatives.

Sell them on the MM, you can get on there now.

Stick them on the shelf, play some of them occasionally.

Mine just stay on the shelf.. Except the Steam ones.. they won't stand up!!

Charity shop for mine. Although wont be buying any EA games from now on lol...

Games seem to sell well for them, so better than throwing away and with Xmas coming, may give someone some fun for a day or two.

Dont think i have ever sold my PC games. Console games yea, but no PC games that i can think off.

Still have the old Half-Life 1 cardboard box around somewhere.

Got a cupbaord shelf full of pc games...don't want to throw them away!

Yamahahahahaha · 10 Nov 2008 at 17:11

I still have every game I've bought on the PC.

DOSBox will get most of them working again :]

You have to sell them on pretty sharpish or they aren't worth anything and nobody wants them.

LeJosh · 10 Nov 2008 at 17:16

Play them, some games just never get 'old'.

Teknobry · 10 Nov 2008 at 18:33

Sell or trade!

Use an old cd-r spindle and keep the disk only, then they take up no room at all

Well you can get that one right back out of the bin and send it to me.

Thanks!

I tend to keep them (although I only buy a couple a year now), as they are worthless quite quickly so don't see the point in selling them just a couple of quid.
