I would like to address the elephant in the room, so to speak. My games are bought mostly from eBay or yard sales. But about a 3rd of the time one or more of the disks have issues. I always like to image the disks of any big box game I get (using DiskImage) and then also copy the contents (as a double backup).
How do you all deal with bad disks in this situation? One solution is to go to questionable websites and grab the game content but that is 1) not a disk image, 2) hard to identify what files are which disk. I already own the original game so just getting missing files feels ok to me.
As time passes the chance of picking up boxes with bad disks will continue to increase.
