Lost Dos Games list (need to rebuild collection) Not that rare

yellowdagger · 12-09-2012, 10:13 AM

Many of these games I originally had got lost in a flood which messed up the storage area where they used to be. Many are pretty common games I used to love playing. I refuse to download as I collect physical PC games.

Looking for a good set (three or more of the following: They have to be complete in box with tested/working discs.

Wolfenstein 3d, Blake Stone, Quake, Duke 3d, Hexen, Redneck Rampage, Shadow Warrior, Marathon 1 (Mac), Hostel, Future Shock, Final Doom.

Jazz Jackrabbit 1, Jill of the Jungle 1

If you would like to sell. please let me know.

You can get most of them from eBay if you watch. I have 200 daily eBay automatic searches for FPS's, mostly DOS or pre WinXP. From memory, this week I have seen Wolfenstein 3D, Blake Stone (1 and 2), Quake, Duke 3D, HeXen, Redneck Rampage and Final DooM.
I have wanted to buy boxed Jill of the Jungle for years. I love that game... Huge and interesting. When Jill of the Jungle turns up on eBay, it usually draws some hard core bidding. There are at least two very different box arts that I have seen, but I think they were both shareware, but I can't remember for sure.

Thats my point most of the titles I listed aren't really rare. I bought most of them either from ebay or when they were new.

I don't want to to do ebay because I have to pay seperate shipping costs as the sellers don't tend to have the sometimes even 2-4 games in their store.

Also they overprice stuff. If you go to online to retro pc game stores (couldn't find any right now) or flea markets (don't have time now) you can easily score a decent CIB quake, duke 3d, and final doom for around $30 give or take altogether.

Couple months ago I picked up CIB basically new 11th hour, Phantasmorgia together for around $20 bucks total from a flea market.

My work makes it impossible to go. If any of you guys have these as doubles. Please let me know.
