Man this game is rare...

[idNut]

Jersey Devil for Playstation. I played the demo and loved it but never got around to buying it. Got a bunch of older games I'm trying to pick up such as:

Syndicate
Mortyr
Kingpin
System Shock 1
Die by the Sword

Anyone else a classic PC game collector?

Kingpin! I still have that game in my cd wallet. That was one impressive game for its time.

Nowadays I usually find playing classic games easier under Amiga emulation rather than fussing around trying to get DOS based games working with WinXP. I was playing Secret of Monkey Island last weekend...brought back happy memories

Rare games? I got two words for you.

Yeah I remember that it actually had sound issues if you didn't have 64 megs or ram. Or was it 128. Anyway, it was a real reason to upgrade to a good bit of ram at the time when normally you didn't need it.

Mitzi was the name of Carmack's cat...

I have System Shock, came as a double pack with Space Hulk. Never played it though.

Syndicate is very good on PC

Oh yeah, tack Sin onto the list. Super rare game. Supposedly a movie is to be out.

What defines a "rare" game? I still see Sin in the $10 bin at EB every so often!

Really?! Damn. I've been looking for it everywhere around here but can only find it on eBay every so often.

I had that for Saturn, awesome game. Made quite the $$ off it too when I sold it off

 

[cypriot]

Die by the Sword Rocks... It was a great game.. It was all about butchering cutting monsters into pieces.. If you want some old games, you should get
1) Postal
2) Alone in the Dark

 

[Platypus]

I'll sell you Kingpin if you want it

 

[atom]

I remember syndicate. That game was soooo awesome. I remember using that mind control thing on as many pedestrians as I could find so I could have my own little army following me. That was major ownage.

 

[MustISO]

If we're talking classics... XCOM!

 

[parsley007]

i used to love xcom, i remember buying "research" to get the plasma gun...

 

[Winchester]

I have Syndicate Plus & Sin. Never really played Sin, but its like $3.00 on eBay, what's so rare about it.

Radiant Silvergun is not rare, but the fact that people continue to believe it is so causes it to sell for ridiculous prices. If it was rare, there would not always be copies of it for sale. Much more rare (not to mention being a better game, IMO) is Battle Garegga. Also, try finding a copy of Klonoa: Door To Phantomile. I have a new copy in storage, and have been offered ridiculous amounts of money for it.

I still actually have Sin, sitting at home... tried selling it packed in with some other games and had no takers hmm

 

[Shockwave]

X-Com
Syndicate
System Shock

Not really RARE, but very good classics IMO. Cant forget Fallout on th list, although its certainly not rare.

 

[Rahminator]

While on topic, anybody know how to get syndicate to run on win xp?

 

[Reel]

I am trying to find Return to Zork.

 

[faZZter]

There is a store in San Luis Obispo, CA (about 30 miles from where I live) that has all kinds of old pc games. I'm sure they would have all of those. Sorry can't remember the name of the store offhand though I know where to find it.

System Shock is a great game for it's time....loved it.

 

[guyver01]

You want a rare game...

The U.S. version of DragonBall GT: Final Bout for Playstation 1

 

[Wuffsunie]

I have copies of Syndicate and Syndicate Wars (never could get that one to play well enough on my systems to finish it. Too bad as it was extremely cool) and a burn of SS1. I would have a legit of it only couldn't find it at the time. Quite hard to play, especially after all the current FPS games I have.

I recently found a crack to run it on XP. A little buggy at times, but it still makes the game playable. I want to find something (setting, crack, program) that'll let me play Syndicate Wars!

Sin is NOT rare, at least not around here. I can go into any Raidoshack and get like a half dozen copies. The addon pack, Wages of Sin I believe, is super rare. I only saw that when it first came out. Would love to get a copy. As for the movie, the anime based on it has been out for years. And it's not very good, either.
