poll: games that were so good you purchased more than 1 copy

[da_hal]

I was just wondering if anybody out there was like me: if i lose my copy of a particularly good game (or the copy protection,) i wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.

the poll lists the games i have bought more than one of. feel free to list others.

Oh yeah, i have 2 cd's of diablo1 too. i had to get it a second time because it came with the battlechest, even though i hate it.

just remembered: pools of radiance, 2X. once in a 3 pack, once when they put the whole D&D series in one package.

phantasie: 3X, once from theunderdogs.

questron: 2X

zork 1: 2X

[SCG]

Civ II (v 1.07, 2.42, MGE)
Pool of Radiance series (got a couple individually, got the whole series too)
Warcraft II (although didn't realize the first one i got on sale at the time wasn't the whole game, more of a demo)

there may be a couple others, if you count buying something, and my brother buying something, and having them both in the same house, but not sure which ones atm

I have to admit buying Civ 1 FOUR times. Once when it was new, once when those floppys stopped working, once when I started college and needed some cheap entertainment and once again at college after some jerk spilt beer over the disks. Beat that.

I bought colonization twice. I lost the original, and had to replcace... unfortunetly I couldn't find a windows copy to replace it with. so I had to live with crappy graphics and sound untill I found wonderful world of the internet.

[Static Universe]

I bought HOMM2 twice. Once as a stand alone, and once in the HOMM1-3 collection.

I also bought Myst twice after cracking the first disk.

Civ2... once original and second Test of Time (though I don't know if that counts ).

I had to buy a 2nd zork because i BURNT out the originals. i also burnt out 2 motherboards and the power supply on my pc jr., so i think i spent roughly @300 bucks just on zork.

just remembered: King's quest 1, 2X. once was the original cga version, and the other was the ega version for pcjr only.

[Skanky Burns]

No, no I have not.
But then I took paranoid-level care of the games I did have.

[Urban Ranger]

Not me, either. When the games still came on floppy diskettes, I made backups.

I was sent two free copies of Civ2:ToT by Microprose.
I bought Warlords Battlecry II and then won a free copy in a wallpaper-making contest.

my dad trashed all my games when i went all psycho-depressed, thought it was that caused it. he later found out those games were helping me vent.

sigh. memories.

every game i own now made prior to 99 is a rebuy.

if a game was that good, I would never lose a copy!! That is heresy.

I guard them like I guard my soul.
