    What do people do with their old PC games?

    I've a load of PC games from the last five or six years which I never play anymore. I had a look on adverts.ie, but selling PC games doesn't seem popular.

    What have people on boards done with their old PC games?

    I have an old system which plays the older games...so i just play em all again. You probably won't get much for them tbh though, the problem is that someone can easily copy their games onto their hard drive and sell em all. Its all piracy unfortunately....

    Throw them into a box and stick that inside my cupboard.
    I used to sell my newish games, but even then there's usually feck all money in it and you're better off just holding on to them.

    i dont understand selling old games, you bought it for a reason right? because you liked it? i cant count the amount of times ive played road rash/ streets of rage/ desert/jungle/urban strike on the sega or the orginal cnc on the pc or goldeneye on n64 or raptor for the pc, dont forget doom 1 & 2 FAR FAR better than doom 3 which was so boring i didnt even finish it.

    Why sell such amazing games when you can play them again

    Keep them. You never know when you'll want to dig out a gem like AVP2 or the older Age of Empires games.
