    Sorry to burst your bubble, but 95% of retro PC titles arent worth jack. I don't know what it is that drives people to do this, but it seems that a lot of people get rid off all the games that they had when they sell off their old and outdated computer. Its almost like they think of the games as old outdated software that they dump along with the computer. As for your floppy, it seems like acool thing to have, but it probably would sell for less than ya paid for it. It could be a demo, a pack in, or whatever.....

    Even worse, a great percentage of those old titles no longer work anyway...as the average lifespan of a floppy is 5-10 years. Thank god for all the good folks that archived many of these disks for emulation use!

    There ARE exceptions, of course. Some PC games are quite rare and sell for a lot of money -- we've had previous threads on this. But yeah, despite all of the great PC games, many of them are worth no more then old Atari or NES games.
