If anyone wants any of the following games, I've played through them and they've been mostly sitting around waiting for another playthrough if I get nostalgic... They're in great condition and any cash I get from this will go towards TNR social events pour moi. (moar bar nights, possible attendance of a LAN some day, etc.) I have no idea as to whether or not these work on Vista -- you'll have to check that out on the net if that's your concern.

These also make great gifts if you know of younger types with older computers that you want to get hooked on the PC gaming bug! If that's the case I might just give it to you for free... (But no lying plz, kthx)

Price brackets as noted in bold.

Firm $10, as I think I might want to play these again due to nostalgia and it's therefore hard to part with them

-Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (I have a soft spot for noir, be it written, filmed, or otherwise)
-Darwinia (this game is just fun and the graphics will never get old! I wasn't even around for that pixelated age, and it looks like sex in a box, in a geeky kind of way. plus the soundtrack rocks - <3 trash80)
- Nox (Westwood's Diablo-like game, has a really awesome spellcasting hotkey system, really fun campaigns that are character specific, some tongue in cheek humour throughout, and great multiplayer to boot...)
- Star Wars: Dark Forces II - Jedi Knight and its expansion pack, Mysteries of the Sith (if you at all love Star Wars, the Dark Forces / Jedi Knight series is awesome. You wield a frickin' lightsaber, use force powers, go light side / dark side, get to play with all the guns... ahh, I love force push and choke for causing much havoc. this is as good as Knights of the Old Republic in FPS form, if you ask me and the expansion pack is just as good if not even BETTER as it fits inside the canonical Star Wars universe oh so wonderfully and has some bitchingly awesome new Force Powers, plus you can use Light / Dark powers in spite of your Force affiliation, just at a higher penalty to point cost, much like in KotoR [note: I don't consider that prequel schlock Lucas cashed in on as even remotely canonical, so it's everything related to the golden standard that is the real Star Wars trilogy])

$5

-Prey: Special Edition (the one with the art book, metal case, and figurines)
-Quake IV
-Deus Ex: Invisible War
- Outcast (this seems to have issues running on dual core systems, as I tried running it the other day. It's a game that's solely dependent on CPU clock speed, I believe due to voxel graphics. award-winning adventure, great soundtrack, really effin' hard but great)
- Clive Barker's Undying (a fuckin' creepy horror game... If you liked the System Shock games, I'd suggest this. It still runs fine on XP.

$3 or less
-Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
-Project Eden (pretty rare puzzle game, port of the ps2 version, it's interesting, although the action bits are sorta questionable. good though)
- Mafia (if GTA III was a more realistic mob sim circa 1930's Chicago, this would be it. really immersive, sharp graphics esp. for its heyday, good missions, etc.)

Freebies, or if you're feeling exceptionally generous, $1
-Project: Snowblind (this one's a bit of a bitch to get working on XP, you need to patch it or something, I forget, but you'll need to check the net as I did. and forget Vista, most likely.)
-Harbinger (a Diablo-like game in space... Incredibly beautiful artwork, but sort of unbalanced class system. The caster-style class is nigh impossible to play with, from what I remember. Also very difficult, at least initially. had tons of potential, just need a bit more QA testing)
- No One Lives Forever (kitschy, campy James Bond spoof with a gal as lead. pretty funny, though the humour is a bit dry for me at times, prolly getting jaded in my old age... this'd be a great one to pass off to a younger twitch gamer protege to teach them the value of thinking differently and stealthily in an FPS. :lol:)

If anyone wants any of the following, the nearby Superstore (aka loblaws to the max) has piles of these on clearance that I can get you at cost for $3 apiece

-Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (I gladly got this -- story mode seems like shit, but the classic mode is good -- includes classic levels like the Mall, etc. IMO that's worth the $3, since it's Tony Hawk... you'll want a controller for this as it's nigh unplayable otherwise)
- Kohan II: Kings of War (RTS game, sequel to some game of the year... I grabbed it as I don't play RTS games much any more save for single player as I suck at them hard.)
- Sacred (a 3D Diablo type clone. supposed to be fairly decent, but I haven't installed this yet)

In case you didn't notice, I thoroughly enjoy bargain bin diving, much akin to how some gals I know love poking through thrift stores for eclectic clothes... Except I poke through supermarkets, random electronic shops, etc. for older / cheap games. <3

Post here or PM if interested. I doubt anyone wants any of these as some of them are old hack, but... it's worth a shot.

This is game is the best game evarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Damn Westwood for selling out and taking down the servers for it.
Multiplayer was so awesome.

Don't sell it, we should play some quest some time :P

I would... but how would you get them to me?

and everything listed here is free on the internet :)

I'll ship to you, mang. I'm setting up paypal if you gots that, though I don't know how personal transactions work on their "personal" / basic account. You can pm me your details or Steam it, whatevs. I trust you. Shipping to the States might cost though, soo... you'd have to foot the bill on that, and I'd UPS / FedEx / Canada Post cross the border to you. They do peg the shipments at the border for taxes though, no? Declaration crap? Or maybe that's only commercially tagged stuff... Darknet ftw?

And Lopert, I don't want to sell it really as it's very close to my heart in terms of the multiplayer being the love child of Gauntlet and Diablo and a few other things I forget.

I have more games, etc. sitting on my shelf in Ottawa that I might be willing to part with, but I can't recall exactly what I have sitting around there. I know I have No One Lives Forever 2, but I haven't played through that one yet. Found it at a nearby variety store of all things...

And technically, everything listed for money is here on the Internet for free, lawlz, albeit not legally... Is it really freeware or its fuzzy cousin abandonware? I'll give any of them away no questions asked if it's freeware -- abandonware I might be picky about depending on the game. I will require linkage to legit sites though, kthx. For abandonware, check The Home of the Underdogs for some true classics (some of my favourite games are very much listed, such as Beyond Good and Evil, which if you find you must buy. I already sold my duplicate copy to my housemate back in Ottawa a year ago).
