No actually I would not pay $60 or $40 bucks for a game anymore. Last time when I payed 60 for Across the rhine and it was really crappy I said "thats it!" I won't go over 20 for even a new PC game. Even Bard's Tale and Pirates! which I love I waited till they went down. A download with nothing maybe 50 cents. With manual et al maybe two bucks if I MUST have it.

I wouldn't mind spending 10 bucks for an older game that i remember from my youth, as long as it works with my current OS then i'm fine with it.

Sure, i would buy an ESA protected game, it would really depend on the title though.

I guess you really can't blame companies for keeping their older games to themselves, although i must admit i've asked myself why they would want to hold on to a game that's 20 years old...personally i think it would be cool if Activision or EA decided to make some of their older game available for download on a site of their own design.

I dunno, it would be a nice way to show their thanks to the customers they've made over the years.....but i fear that cool items for customers in a video game based industry faded away with Infocom.
