So maybe inspired by TC being back, I went to the Goodwill with a nice games section and got some interesting stuff, most notably four PC strategy games.
Game Gear
--
Chessmaster - $2, cart only
Ecco the Dolphin - $2, cart in plastic cover - Yes, I have this for Sega CD, but it could be interesting to compare to the downgraded handheld version.
Playstation
--
Eliminator - $2, complete - futuristic vehicular (ground-based) combat game from Psygnosis. We'll see.
PS2
--
Sled Storm - $5, complete - Different from the PS1 game. That one seemed to be more popular, but hopefully this is good too.
PC
--
Mythical Warriors - $1, jewelcase in small cardboard box (complete I presume) - This is an RTS from 2001 I've never heard of.
Universe at War - $2, complete - Another RTS, this one from the developers of Star Wars: Empire at War.
Medieval Conquest - $1, complete - A game very much like those better-known real-time fantasy simulation games where you manage heroes and build an economy, The Settlers-style, instead of actually controlling armies.
Age of Empires III Gold Edition - $10, complete - This includes the base game plus its first expansion. I got a very cheap digital copy of AoE III, the base game only, years ago, but it was locked to games for Windows Live only, and that service doesn't exist anymore, so if I want to play the game again I needed it somewhere else. This should do the trick! And it's got the first expansion, too. Not the cheapest price, but it is probably decent for what you get, and it is nice to have physical PC games.
