I've just bought legal copies of SMAC, Thief II, Alone in the Dark and Might and Magic 6 for 32 euro total.
Was that a bargain or a rip off?

Legal copies are, more often then not, rip-offs.
But a euro is roughly double that of the american dollar, right? In which case I think that was about as expensive as could be without going into the realm of "rip off". Games like that usually go for about $10-16 (which would be 5-8 euros on my internal conversion rates) and you paid 8 each.Rethink Refuse Reduce Reuse

No, they're about the same.
EDIT: more like 1 euro = a dollar and a quarterComment

A euro is in fact roughly the same as the dollar. I'd say that was a good haul.

Ok, so it's roughly double a Canadian dollar and I'll stand by what I said.

Dont know about the other games, but SMAC (new - shovelware jewelcase version) was $10 a couple of years ago - so at implicit price of $8 its a good deal but not great. Dont know about the others.
But look at it this way - you got 4 games, which are all thoroughly patched, and reviewed, that you know are good games, with heaps of gameplay, and with scens/mods available, for less than the price of one new game.
I dont consider SMAC one of my favorites but i still got - I dont know - at least 25 or 30 hours of gameplay out of it - and i may yet load it up again. I presume if youve checked them out to see if they match your tastes, you'll get at least that much out of the other games as well.

I would have shelled 32 euros for Thief 2 and SMAC alone. (Assuming I'd never had SMAC before.) 32 usually buys you a new expansion pack or a moderately old game in this neck of the woods, new games are 50 and very old stuff is about 16.Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test.
