Good haul and good price!

So you'll be seeing sunlight again sometime in 2010 then?

Well as I also got:

Neverwinter Nights 1 (£1)
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (£1.50)
Battlefield 1942 (£1)

at the weekend I thnk that's a fair assessment!

XCOM: Enemy unknown

m4cc45 · 7 May 2009 at 19:44

I bought all the older XCOM games off Steam on a weekend deal (or such like) for about £4 - mainly because they had gotten them working in Vista. Still trying to complete XCOM Apocalypse but it's damn hard!

Where do you get those games that cheap?

Second hand game shop mate. Can't say as they're a competitor (my emails in my trust if you want to discuss further).

Got medieval 2 + kingdoms for a tenner last week, could be good with the Total war mod content

DN3D is on GoG for $6. With eduke32 and the high resolution pack (free downloads from fans), it runs under Vista and XP and has hugely improved graphics.

Just ordered:

[..]

Bards Tale, The (12)
Category: PC CD-ROM
Quantity: 1
Unit Price: £1.5 / Total Price: £1.5

[..]

If that's the relatively recent "Same name, different game" Bards Tale (for coins and cleavage), have a look on the disc for the "out-takes" videos. I got a good laugh out of them. I got a good laugh out of the whole game, but those were extra laughs that as far as I know aren't accessible in the game itself.

Picked up Dirt , STALKER and Medieval 2 Total War, for a fiver each

from a supermarket (advertised by The Hamster).

Picked up GTA4 for 9.99 the other week too!

It is the newer version. The older version I have the original for on the C64 and Amiga. I have just had confirmation that the majority have been posted so should get them on Monday. Should be interesting as I haven't played some in years.

Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2

I need to find a copy and get it working under W7.

That's the game that got me really interested in PC gaming, there was a demo of the fuel station level on PC gamer CD back in the late 90's & I really enjoyed it & bought the game in one of those big boxes they had back then, nice fat manual as well & the length of games & levels back then were twice what we get nowadays
