Saying Goodbye to Some Great Games

There were some great games under MS-DOS and Windows 95, and I saved them! Titles like King's Quest and Wing Commander. Classic. Some how, I just couldn't bring myself to throw them out.

A couple weeks ago my when my sister and family were over to visit my nephew tried installing a couple of not so old Windows 95/98 games like Shogun: Total War. The experience wasn't encouraging. The games didn't run so well under XP.

It did make me face up to the fact that I would never get to play these games again in their current form. With a slight tear, I threw the DOS games into the dumpster and the Windows games into a bag for charity.

At work I made off hand comment I'd hoped they weren't worth any money, ha ha. My colleague trying to be ever helpful proceeded to look some of the games up on E-Bay (Gee thanks, after I throw them out). The good news, the highest price found was US $5, which isn't even a million Canadian any more.

Phew.
