Title: Selling vintage/classic computer games for Bitcoin
Post by: hook on January 25, 2011, 12:23:52 AM
Inspired by the I buy vintage PC games for Bitcoins thread (http://www.bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2387) I've decided to sell a part of my collection of vintage/classic PC games, which are mainly from the 1990's.

All games are originals (d'uh!), were played and cared for. Before selling each game, I check the CD(s) to make sure they still work.

If you are interested in any of these, don't hesitate to ask or contact me (e-mail, XMPP/Jabber or PM).

More games will be added as I dig and sort them out…

Boxed games:
These are games to which I have the original boxes. Unless otherwise stated, the boxes are from standard editions and include original manuals, original jewel case and everything that came with the box (often even the registration card.

3D Lemmings; Psygnosis
edition: Psygnosis Argentum Collection

Genewars; Bullfrog

Normality; Gremlin Interactive, Interplay ← sold

KKnD; Beam Software, Electronic Arts
edition: EA Classics

Animal; Microtime, Ocean

Dark Forces; LucasArts
edition: LucasArts White Label
Or simply order it on my BitMit store (https://www.bitmit.net/en/item/17885-star-wars-dark-forces-vintage-original-box/?ref=9449)

Buried in Time — the Journeyman Project 2; Presto Studios, Sanctuary Woods ← sold

Phantasmagoria; Sierra
edition: Sierra Originals
Or simply order it on my BitMit store (https://www.bitmit.net/en/item/17886-phantasmagoria-vintage-original-box/?ref=9449)

Dungeon Keeper; Bullfrog
notes: original jewel case damaged, by preference I can either send it that way or replace it with a whole case
Or simply order it on BitMit store (https://www.bitmit.net/en/item/17880-dungeon-keeper-vintage-original-box/?ref=9449)

Total Mania (a.k.a. Total Mayhem); Domark

Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri; Virgin, Looking Glass Technologies
notes: box also includes a zip-bag (which I don't know if it is original or not)

Simpsons Cartoon Studio; 20th Century Fox, Big Top

Microsoft Explorapedia: the World of Nature; Microsoft
notes: jewel case replaced, everything else (incl. EULA) included

MediEvil; SCE Studios, Sony
notes: PlayStation 1 game, original "jewel" case, original booklet, original inlay, additional promo CD (never had a PlayStation, but I guess this counts as "boxed" since I am not aware of any bigger boxes this game ever had)

Jewel cased games:
These are games to which I do not have the original boxes or (mostly the case) I never got or they never had cardboard boxes. So they are kept in the jewel/CD cases. Unless otherwise stated, they do not include any manuals, booklets etc.

Mission Force: CyberStorm; Sierra

Return to Zork; Infocom, Activision
notes: includes original booklet/manual; should come "with computer hardeware or perhipial devices", which I suppose is true, since I bought it in the computer store where I bought most my HW anyway :P

Hyper Blade; Wizbang!, Activision
notes: includes original booklet/manual; should come with a Diamond Monster 3D, but in my case didn't (same reason as with Zork)

Test Drive 5; Pitbull Syndicate, Accolade
notes: was bundled with some HW, but no idea what anymore

Tux Racer; Sunspire Studios
notes: yes, I have the Tux Racer original CD! :P

Mech Warrior 2: 31st Century Combat; Fasa Corporation, Activision
notes: original jewel case, original inlay, original manual

M.A.X.: Mechanized Assault & Exploration; Interplay
notes: original jewel case(?), original inlay, original manual

Warlords II Deluxe; SSG
notes: part of MegaPak 5, manual shared with other games in bundle (I can copy the needed pages, if you want to buy just one game)

Terminal Velocity; Terminal Reality, 3D Realms
notes: part of MegaPak 5, manual shared with other games in bundle (I can copy the needed pages, if you want to buy just one game)

Primal Rage; Atari, Time Warner
notes: part of MegaPak 5, manual shared with other games in bundle (I can copy the needed pages, if you want to buy just one game)

I have an original copy in a jewel case with a manual in form of a CD inlay. UK release, licence key on the back inlay.

Interested?

I have added some of the titles now to my BitMit store (http://bitmit.net/en/user/hook/?ref=9449).

As I find time, I will offer other games on BitMit as well.
