"PC Classics"

Yeah, I've gone a bit mad with the 'classics' threads, but I wanted one for the PC.

So, any old gems you want to share with us?

I know these are only a few years old, but I love the two Baldur's Gate games (Baldurs Gate 1998 and Shadows of Amn 2000/1 Throne of Bhaal exp)
... both complete classics, but as RPGs no-one ever really remembers them... :(

Well, all classics sell well.

An early 80s game in pristine condition could well get you £100.

Waa, I've just seen it auctioned on eBay for £46, I remember buying ot for £20 and selling it for £10!!!

Damn, it's rather crap. Just selecting what to do instead of the full freedom you had in the XCOM games is just to much of a no no for me.

Now, I have a urge to play the UFO (XCOM games) again; where can I get them? I remember buying a collection from SR a while back, but foolishly sold it again. Anyone?

Indeed they have:

Have they released a demo?

£20, which is a whopping £10 off retail price, and an absolute steal for a new game in excellent condition.

If I don't sell it privately in the next couple of days, it's going on eBay.

UFO became impossible towards the end.

Like in Terror From The Deep, you could do pretty much anything until it came to infiltrating bases.

'Etherels'. Damn them. They mind-controlled all my team and that was that.

Plus they had enourmous beasts that took ages to kill.

excellent - will check that out, although the controlling of the bases was one of my favourite bits

And no control of bases - probably the worst omission there.

Anyway, how much?
