Great Purge Regrets

[Ninco!]

I still hold out hope that my little Packard Bell 386SX is stashed away in my parents attic.

Big box titles, I am slowly repurchasing. When my parents moved house in the late nineties, they asked me if I wanted to keep - I said no. They all got binned.

CH Flightstick, Microsoft Sidewinder Pads, Mesh Athlon and Sony G400. Logitech surround speakers with a massive sub - the wires were a nightmare as I never bothered to set it up properly; I lost interest leaving it at my parents - All got tipped.

I used to store all the game manuals separately. I live in hope that my Ace of the Pacific, Ultima games might still be stashed. I used to hoard all the trinkets, flyers, etc Neither me or my parents can remember their fate but to date never found!

So what do you regret chucking and wish you had kept, or since repurchased?

Too many regrets to list! I had a huge amiga collection as a kid, but being a messy child with too much stuff, I lost a lot of games, and generally mistreated my collection so a lot of it is lost. The most painful thing looking back, is how clearly I remember squashing down all my big boxes and recycling them along with the instruction manuals.

I also had a huge NES collection my mum purchased from a neighbour for £20 back in the day, I took at least half of it round to a girls house who I was good friends with but also fancied. I got none of it back.

My Playstation collection was pretty good too, well I didn't take the best of care of that either, not putting games back into boxes etc. I really do regret getting rid of my CRT also. It was in great nick and had a really nice crisp picture. I just took it to the tip

My local tip has a few CRT's. However, where people drop them off is out in the open and no cover, so no idea how long they have sat outside exposed to the elements.
