So long story short, I'm packing up house because I have to move
before I go off to the military. So obviously I'm trying to
condense what I'm keeping and get rid of a lot of junk

them still in the original box) I have a bunch that you're

Either e-mail me or find me on IRC to ask about them, I need to get rid of them all before the 22nd or they're going to the first charity that'll take them. I'd much prefer if people picked them up too. My address is:
6157 Broadway
Burnaby
Otherwise PM, e-mail or IM me, or even find me on IRC
If I had room at all i'd pick up Myst and WC1, both of those were stapes of my childhood, and it would be fun to play them again. Alas I am also trying to cut down on the 'junk' around my apartment...
Oooooh, DnD Online 8D
WC1 is also interesting, I'll take those two games. (:
Sold for the price of one hug, to Hunny :D
I wouldnt mind evil genius, how does one get to your place by public transport? and when can i pick it up?
Dang... WC1... I remember that... I doubt I could get it to run
D&D online is free now
What is Magic the Gathering the video game like?
You can get to my place by catching the skytrain to Holdom station. Leave me a PM and I'll pass you me cell number, come pick up anytime really, I'll simply meet people at the skytrain which is literally 3 blocks from my house
The video game is essentially a multi stage tutorial of semi-advanced concepts to the card game. It's still the card game, just played on your PC
Diablo I
Jedi Knight - Mysteries of the Sith
Soldier of fortune
wouldent mind taking thes off your paws ^^
You do know that PC games come with a one use serial code right? =/
Back in the olden days when we played video games, PC games came with a CD key that was printed on the case - you could install the game on many computers if you gave them the key.

I was told the code can only be used once, hence why theres a code in the first place
Hehe, nope, before online verification of games there was no way to tell that a code had been used already or not.
I work at a video game store and we trade in games. But we dont trade in PC games because of the code that comes with it, which can only be used once. Theres a reason why they put the code there, not just to waste 1 min of your time. Maybe on the old OLD windows 95 games the code wasnt like that, but then again those are OLD.
i got severl games with codes, the codes can be used much more then once, you can only register it once, :P i would trade in pc games aslong as it still had the code with it, tho you can find lots of codes online, generated ones tho, and i maniged to make my own code for Shipsimulator 2008
ya thats called illegal =P

isnt illegal till you get caught :P
Legally speaking, only one PC is to ever have that copy/code installed on it at once, there is also some small print on some games about number of machines it can be installed on at a time, times registered, and the like...
However, with the exception of some new games, mostly using steam and other such systems, there is no way to really... verify the use of a code, the installer simply verifies if its a proper code and then installs the software... This is, last I heard, due to some legal stuff about not being able to sell software that requires online verification for the offline use of the software (due to the fact some people don't have internet access.)
This is however, often circumvented atleast with newer software, by having no true offline mode, such as with Starcraft 2 and a few other recent game releases, all play is done threw an online account that must be registered with that key.
However... on any game more than a few years old, and certainly anything purely single player, those codes mean nothin, and even on most multi-player games, you can use the same code as somebody else so long as you arn't playing at the same time, as a key can only connect once to the server or other such protections...
