Help price my collection of PC CD-ROM games from the 90s

[Satoshi_Matrix]

I have a whole lot of Windows DOS PC games mostly from the mid to late 90s that I'm looking to sell, but I really have no idea as to their value. I would guess that just like NES games, some of these aren't worth much of anything, while a few have still kept their value or gone up.

All CDs are in nearly perfect condition with no scratches, stickers, writing, etc. All jewel cases are likewise in perfect condition without any cracks or other damage. There are no cardboard boxes, only the CD Jewle cases, the came, the CD Jewl case insert and a few manuals when mentioned.


Here's a list of what I've got. I know it's long, but I'd appreciate appraisals of each item. Thanks.

Looking at your list, here's where I think you're going to net out.

If it's based on a board game or game show, it'll make a dandy coaster.
If it has Tycoon or Star Trek in the name, 50:50 chance you can get something for it.
If it's by Blizzard, Sierra or LucasArts, it probably has retained a nice portion of its value.
If it's based on or a collection of an old videogame license, small chance you can get something for it.
If it's anything else, it'll also make a dandy coaster or it can be sold for a fuckton. No inbetween imo.

And now for a more serious reply.

Freddy Pharkas Frontier Pharmacist

This is worth $15-35 depending on the day. The CD version is uncommon, but not really sought after these days.

Leisure Suit Larry Love for Sail
Leisure Suit Larry Shape Up or Slip Out Hintbook
Larry's Casino
Leisure Suit Larry's Great Hits and Misses

Sell all of this together. This is basically all the GOOD games in the series, plus Greatest Hits and Misses includes The Laffer Utilities AND Softporn Adventure. No idea on price, I'd list this on auction.

Warcraft Orcs & Humans (disc and case only) with oversized manual
Warcraft II Tides of Darkness (disc and case only) with oversized manual
Warcraft II The next 70 Levels (disc and case only)
Warcraft II Beyond the Dark Portal
Warcraft III Reign of Chaos Collector's Edition with CD Code

Sell everything together. You might get a WoW player to buy these, OR, someone looking to gift this to a WoW fan. Warcraft II 70 Levels is an unofficial add-on... I'd list the entire set for $100 with free shipping, with offers.

You -might- get a random buyer to take all the You Don't Know Jack games, too.

The rest of the items aren't worth very much, I'm afraid.

Heh. This thread is funny considering I was thinking of making my own...

[portnoyd]

And how was my post not serious? Seems pretty inline with yours.

[Satoshi_Matrix]

Kitsune Sniper I think that's a good idea to device it up into series lots.

How much should I ask for the lot of Leisure Suit games?

What about the Star Trek ones?

The You Don't Know Jack games?

[Gameguy]

$20-$30 for the 3 discs together as a buy-it-now could work. They're honestly not worth that much unless they're complete, I sold the Greatest Hits and Misses disc only for $5 locally and I felt that was a good price for it. The Ultimate Pleasure Pack is the most valuable version of the games as it contains everything, the loose discs are still worth something decent with this one. I can't seem to get $5 for the stand alone Larry games I have, I've been trying for years locally.

Microsoft Revenge of Arcade

I'm assuming you mean Microsoft Return of Arcade. This could be worth something, maybe $10-$20. Is it the original version or the 20th Anniversary Edition? I know the Anniversary Edition is normally worth more than the original, but the original version is usually just floppy discs instead of a CD-ROM. I'm not sure if the CD-ROM version of the original would be worth more, but whatever you have it's worth something.

Everything else I think has already been mentioned, whatever is left should be worth around $1-$3 each.

#1, #4 and #5 seemed like jokey responses.
#2, the Tycoon games have been reprinted up the wazoo and aren't worth that much; Star Trek... there's very few games that are worth something (Armada 2, Elite Force 2, Starfleet Academy: Chekov's Missions, and maybe the Elite Force 1 expansion are the ones I know of), the rest can be bought for low prices.
#3? This is worse. Blizzard still sells Warcraft II and III. Warcraft I is the only one that might be worth something complete. A lot of older Sierra games were reprinted in compilations, the only ones that are worth money are the early prints or the stuff that's still sought out by collectors. LucasArts stuff isn't worth that much unless it's one of the few games that they never reprinted. (Ed. - fixed what I said, doh.)

Meh, sorry dude, I didn't mean to sound like I was trying to pick a fight with you.

Nope, that's a sequel to Return which had other games. It had Ms. Pac-Man, Rally X, Xevious, Mappy, and Motos.

I didn't know that they made a sequel. Looking it up now it doesn't seem to be worth that much, far less than the original. My mistake.
