One of the wonderful things about buying used games, I've found, is that sometimes there is MORE than just the game and its documents in there. Sure, most of the time you get exactly what you pay for, but sometimes...
Well, here's one of my experiences: I bought Sam and Max Hit the Road for $25 on Amazon. It was a fully boxed copy that advertised coming with the original documentation, the hint book, the original sleeve for the game, and basically whatever else the original game came with.
The unexpected "Bonus?" It also came with what seemed to be an early release of Windows 95, plus some sort of Win95 add-ons disk. I never tried to install these two programs to figure out exactly what they were, but it was just amazing to me that this completely random thing was stuck in the box and given to me along with an amazing game. The description had NOT mentioned that these would be included, so I was completely floored when they were present.
On a little bit of the weirder side of things, my copy of The Ultima Collection--which was bought brand-new when it was released in the late-90s or thereabouts--included a text file in one directory on the actual disc, which seemed like an archive of a newsgroup conversation that someone just happened to find funny. Its a joke post plus its comments, and the joke had nothing to do with Ultima. It seemed like a completely random and arbitrary inclusion. I'll post the entire contents of it here at my next convenience. Again, I had no reason to believe something like this would be on the disk at all.
So, what about you guys? Any fun stories of "bonuses"?
