That's quite a list of games you are selling.

But Elite 2: Frontier? Why would you want to sell that one!

I was surprised to see Frontier listed too, but I did have my heart set on seeing The Elder Scrolls: Arena (Big Box) listed.... Ah well...

Hello Harrison, hello v85rawdeal,

Right now I am looking at a shitload of games, I have gathered over the years, some I have played with and others for the sake of collecting.
After a while the fun of owning games that were special to you in some way passes, and you realise you have invested in quite a bunch.

I still do like some of the old games, and adventures such as Monkey Island, Indiana Jones, the Dig (several more Lucasarts), Star Trek 25th Anniversary, Judgement Rites and so on will not leave my collection, but for the rest, well I have enjoyed owning them, now I am over it.

Regarding Elite 2: Frontier, heh, I actually haven't been able to run that game because I had Windows already, these days it simply doesn't hold my interest anymore.

There are still a lot of games I wonder if I should get rid of them

Sorry v85rawdeal, I never bought any of the Elder Scroll games.

Anyway, I am not sure if I should get rid of these games, but I won't play them so quickly either anymore.

I had a thought about the Dutch versions.

It should be quite easy to track down English PDFs of the instructions. You could grab them, print them out and include them with the game (along with the original instruction book). As long as the game itself is not restricted to Dutch, then I don't imagine that people would mind too much, if they are definitely interested in getting the game.

The only Elder Scrolls games I need are the big box Arena and big box Redguard. I have all the others.

Oh well, must keep looking!!!

So you have never played Frontier then Ghost? One of the greatest games of all time! You can run it via DOSBox so can play it in Windows. You also listed the Homeworld games. A series that is still as playable as the day it was releases. I will never get rid of my copies of those games.

Hello Harrison,

Regarding the Homeworld games, well as I wrote down before, I am not sure if I should get rid of them.
I have many games now I no longer play and I wonder if I should continue being a collector or get rid of some of the older stuff.

Harrison 01:17 7th August 2007
The other option is to make yourself a copy of the games you are going to sell. Then you still have them.

You spent quite a lot of money for games then? I saw you also have Septerra Core, I also have that one and played it through. One of the only true turned based japanese like RPGs for the PC.

Harrison 09:23 7th August 2007
I've not played Septerra Core. Would it still be worth playing?

Yep, I liked it a lot. The world you play in is pretty cool, it has 7 different levels, the higher being for the more noble people, whereas the lower levels for vagabonds, tramps and that kind of people, as on upper levels the dirt is literally dropped, and falls down to the lower ones.

I liked the setting a lot, and also the game. But I have to say, I played this one at the time I also played FF7 and FF8, and I compared them. Its combat is also turn based like in the FF games, graphically looking like Fallout.

Here's a little link with some screens.
