Bitter sweet because I’m pretty sure this means we lost real one. RIP
It’s church thrift store run by elderly people and they get overwhelmed and will just toss anything on a whim. They practically give away the stuff they do sell.
The others that were piled up in the bottom of the box. Some of the discs had fallen out of the cases and sleeves but they all seemed fine except for one: Half-Life GOTY disc got a few tiny fatal cracks. A lot of software and bargain bin games have been excluded.
There were two discs that go with two joysticks I have. I have a sidewinder somewhere but couldn’t bother looking for it for the pic.

That’s my formative years in a box right there.
Check those hard drives for wallet.dat files before reformatting them…
CD keys will be a problem for some of those. Were they on the paper sleeve, inside the jewel case, on a sticker in the manual? Who knows? Every publisher seems to have picked a spot at random and losing them makes old PC game collections a minefield of unplayable* discs.
* Without cracks or No-CD patches. Obligatory reminder that piracy = games preservation.
They’re printed on the case.
All the games that had a case or a sleeve/insert had the codes on them. I know some of them won’t work if they’ve been registered before.
C&C Generals AND Half-Life? Whoever is nostalgia baiting with this is using some high quality bait.
Wings of liberty ? But it just came out like… Oh
Take the box, burn the store
EDIT: I actually skimmed over the fact that its run by the church, but someone apparently already took offense and downvoted me 🤣
It’s not your fault they didn’t construct additional pylons.
At least Starcraft II with Wings of Liberty campaign is free to play now. SC2 is still going, new patches still coming out, although with a relatively small community.
See some absolute gems in there ngl
I had that chassis on a dell xps 420 way back when. Interesting internal design.
some banger games there too
Was that one of them where the side kinda swiveled open?
It had a tool-less door but a reversed internal layout, you open the right side panel (when looking from the front of the system)
there were tool-less releases for the HDD bays and disk drives, and it featured full-length brackets for add-in cards, with a sort of locking mechanism clamping over.
It also had this weird display on the top. you could play solitaire on it if you wanted.
bizarre little thing.
It was called Windows SideShow I think. I’ve been eyeing an XPS 420 because I’ve never had a system with one before.
Damn, there could be some precious RAM in those PCs!
That’s some good shit!
I went back yesterday and saw that some more games had been put some in their CD section. Recovered some discs that missing got several more games. Paid less than $5 (they charge a quarter per CD/DVD). So here’s the total haul:
Is there any mention of an official guide for SimGolf? I have not found anything.
Aw, man I played the heck out of F.E.A.R. It was a great scary game, and the online multiplayer with all the modded maps was great. Wish the 2142 servers were still up. There was an attempt by a group to get the game running without EA’s servers, I tried to get it running but it didn’t work for me.
