I apologize in advance if this isn't the right place to post this(I'm new here)

In a desperate attempt to find a decent copy of Freespace 2, I stumbled upon NothingButSoftware.com via shop.com, and found a bunch of amazing stuff circa late 90's at incredibly cheap prices floating in a sea of "edutainment" garbage. The interesting thing is, the prices dropped even further after I made my purchase so I don't know how long these will be around. My shipment came today, they're all in brand new condition, most of them were jewel cases, some were just plastic sealed pack-ins:

Fallout 1 & 2 Bundle - $3.06
Cheap ass link

Giants - Citizen Kabuto - $1.74
Cheap ass link

Planescape: Torment - $2.90
Cheap ass link

Neverwinter Nights - $4.50
Cheap ass link

Aliens vs. Predator 2 GOLD - $3.89
Cheap ass link

Homeworld - $2.83
Cheap ass link

Diablo - $1.74
Cheap ass link

Descent: Freespace / Silent Threat Bundle - $0.94
Cheap ass link

These are just some of the games I found, more of them can be found here if you're up for some digging:

Still can't find Freespace 2, though. :cry:

i'm getting leisure suit and master of orion 2 and giants. i hope i have time to play these games after all the video games i need to catch up on.
 
[quote name='twiztidgear']Has anyone orderd the single copies of fallout 1 or 2, not the dual pack? I just want to know if they're the original, large boxed ones that comes with the manual. Kind of doubt it though. I might pick up planescape and a few others though, excellent deals![/quote]

For Fallout 2, it says "PackageType=Jewel Case". It doesn't say anything for Fallout 1. I'd like to add that the boxed versions have really nice manuals.
 
My order came yesterday, I was very happy that Leisure Suit Larry 5 came in the big box. Baldurs Gate just came in a jewel case, but for the price it was definately worth it to replace my scratched up copy.
 
Free bump. Does anyone know if they have a similar selection of Mac games for these prices? I've looked but I've only been able to find one or two.

I saw Full Throttle for Mac there, that game comes VERY highly recomended.

Yeah, I found that one and the first Unreal, but so far those are the only two that have been even semi-appealing.
 
interesting- i got baldur's gate in a gatefold case (opens like an accordian) (not a jewel case)
and my giants came in the dual jewl pack with evolva not the original large box

That's what I meant by jewel case.
 
I would imagine you could buy the Mac Full Throttle and use SCUMMVM to play it in Windows.

You know, if you wanted to play Full Throttle again.

With a Mac copy of the game.

In Windows.
 
I just got:

A bit of a gamble since I've never played any of these games, but I think it'll be worth my while.

Hey, that was six bucks when I ordered it this morning! Oh well, I picked up Fallout 1 & 2, Planescape, and Giants as well. And so the backlog continues to grow.................................... :lol:
 
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Explorer for $0.99. The original Civilization and Colonization are still great games, even this many years later.
 
[quote name='SqueeMK2']A chance to meet George Carlin? That'd be great! :lol:[/quote]
You will be charged. I may let you touch me, though. Of course, you'll have to wear gloves.
 
I just ordered a copy of Icewind Dale 2 for a friend, along Unreal Gold and Giants for myself. I just wish that shipping wasn't so much, but my friend is going to pay for part of it.
