hey guys,
i recently found a load of pc games (some from 1994ish, but most around 1999) in a charity shop. they're old stock from a games shop, but i have no idea if they are worth listing on ebay. i think i will, just because they are sealed. anybody know much about the following:

USS Tinderoca
Azrael's Tear
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloff Stone Prophet
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
Thunderscape
Faust
Space Bastards
Steel Panthers
3 worlds of AD&D The Genies Curse/SHattered Lands/Stahd's Posession
Age of Empires
Jagged Alliance
Pharaoh
Dungeon Keeper 2
Ultima IX Ascension
Master of Olympus Zeus

then not sealed, but from the same place, so i think they are "new"
Outpost
Warhammer's Dark Omen

any there i should keep/play rather than get rid? or am i asking ths in the wrong place...
they had more too, i might see if they still have them tomorrow Very Happy

Cheers

EDIT: meant to say they are all in the classic "big box" format.

If you like retro and you like the style of game then yes they are worth keeping.. sealed or not you'll get something on EBay for most of those titles - however I don't think there is anything there that will seal your fortune, enjoy!

hmm i know that warhammer game, it was really bad, i swapped it to some poor sod years ago, other than that ive only played Alpha Centauri, fantastic game, i still have my copy and it works fine on vista too. you'll prob get a few quid for it, but like evilcensor said i dont think you'll make a whole lot from them.

its almost a shoe in that you get more that 50p Alpha Centauri should sell for at least a fiver if someone likes the civ games dunno bout the rest though

only really played age of empires and dungeon keeper 2 (fun game, would love to see a follow up of that one)

age of empires sold a crapton of copies, im not sure if its valuable, though i still have my big box version Smile

i had dungeon keeper and dungeon keeper 2 on the pc, both games are great im not sure about the market for them, but im sure their worth a few quid.

I would shove Warhammer : Dark Omen on Amazon.

I sold a copy of it with just the case and disc for £14.99 a few months back.If yours is boxed and complete, it could fetch up to around £30 if you're lucky.Going by current prices on there anyway.

USS Ticonderoga could go for a fair price on Amazon.There's only 3 used copies available at the moment, and they're going from £9 upwards.

Haven't played any of them myself, so don't know what's worth trying out.

hmm interesting. never sold anything on there before. i could give that a whirl first, could be worthwhile! cheers for the tip.
