txa1265 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 The pending release of JA for XBox and possibilities of Mac release have me wondering. What games have you: - Purchased more than one copy of the same platform (for something like co-op or in home MP) - Purchased copies for multiple platforms. What kind of experiences have you had? For me: - Jedi Outcast (PC and Mac) - Dark Forces (PC-DOS, PC-CD, Mac) - Duke Nukem 3D (PC and Mac) - Doom (PC and Mac) ... I originally played Elite Force on a PC (swapped with a friend for Thief ... we both wanted our games back and soon ) so I only have Mac for that. - I was assuming Elite Force II, but probably not. - Jedi Academy - in a heartbeat ... if it happens ...

StormHammer Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Hmmm...I've only really repurchased a game for very good reasons... Galactic Battlegrounds Saga...which came with the Clone Campaigns. I bought that after I'd already bought the original Galactic Battlegrounds, because I couldn't find the expansion on it's own at the time. I sometimes leave it too late picking up expansions. Rune Gold - recently purchased, again to get the expansion pack Halls Of Valhalla, which is no longer availabe in the UK. Had to order it from the US. And it looks like I might have to re-purchase Jedi Outcast, since I discovered the case was empty, and I've hunted high and low for the disk, but to no avail. As I say...I rarely buy a game again, unless it's absolutely necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBell Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I know I have purchaced Max Payne twise because my other copy myseriously went missing. But it was definetly worth it. I almost found myself buying another copy of Fallout 1&2 because they were just so damn good, but i came to my senses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Never repurchased a game, if I remember correctly =/ I take good care of my games it seems, and don't really think it's worth shelling out the cash for the same game on a different platform. Once will do ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Dravis Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Along with the payment, we also require a proof of purchase for replacement of lost items in the form of: Game Box (or simply cut out UPC instead of sending whole box) Manual Reference Card Game Disk(s) NOTE: Proof of purchase will be returned to you along with the replacement item. You can use ANY of those items. I used my CD (it was scratched). And the $5 is after 90 days is over. If its less, it's for free (you pay postage).

txa1265 Posted October 30, 2003 Author Share Posted October 30, 2003 That's why these threads are interesting ... When I started this, one question I *hadn't* included was - What games do you like enough to re-purchase for the same platform if the original media gets lost/stolen/destroyed? And I realized forgot another cross-platform purchase of mine: Deus Ex. I first played through it on PC this spring, and picked it up for the Mac ($3.50 plus shipping from eBay ) this summer. I forgot about it because I've not replayed it on the Mac yet. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Welshman Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I bought monkey island 1 and then Monkey Island 1 + 2 multipack. Does that count? I sold MI1 (the seperate version) So I guess it doesn't Also! I borrowed Grim Fandango. Completed it. 5 years later, bought the game. Does that count?

I never realised that. Hmmm...is it worth me shipping that over to the US...and paying the postage back again? Or would it be cheaper to just buy the game again for £20... Hmmm....decisions...decisions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Driver, i first got it for my PSone, then they released it on PC and after seeing how much better the graphics were i bought it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverhoodian Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I had the original versions of both X-Wing and Tie Fighter on my old computer. Then Lucasarts went out and released the "Special Edition" versions with better graphics, more ships and more missions! (dammit!) Fortunately, I now own Special Editions of X-Wing, Tie Fighter and X-Wing Alliance to boot. They were selling all three games in a bundle pack a few years ago, so I got it.
