still better than some homemade pie or something 🤣

No one does these things to me... Why? 🙁

Ask around and you never know who might have some junk systems they don't want or need to get rid of. Don't be shy about getting rigs that have been out in the rain.

I've been gifted yesterday! Yahoo!

An old friend of mine decided to get rid of some old CDs, so he gave me everything connected with games. 10 CDs total.

6 of them suck (You're lucky if you don't know what terrible game releases russian pirates sell for $3-$10),
3 of them are legal, so I'll keep them:
*GTA 2! Hell yeah!
*Total soccer 2000 (okay, I'm not a football fan, but I'm gonna keep it)
*Gromada (1999 RTS, Bethesda Softworks)

The last but not the least is a pirated release of Fallout 2 with a very nice translation. The thing is, the official Fallout 2 release in Russia was around 2008, but it was translated by numerous fans earlier. I'm going to keep this one too.

The rest are going to "The changers", the place where for $1 you can leave one CD and grab another one you like. 90% of CDs are pirate releases, but some strange guys leave legal games there, mostly kids, I guess. I almost got Silent Storm at one of those places today, but CD2 was missing, so it was not going to happen 🙁

Hey now...

Classic Fond is a Russian pirate release, and it fucking rocks!

Hehe, I have only one experience with russian pirate releases. One of my friends had been to Moscow on vacation and he came back with a lot of games. I was only interested in X-Wing: Alliance, but it just crashed on the first mission. Total crappy quality. Later borrowed a legal version which worked perfectly.

One of my mates went to Thailand and came back with a bag full of obviously pirated games in jewel cases with inkjet-printed labels.

One of the games had in small print under the main picture: "If you think this game is pirated. don't tell anyone. Instead use the money you saved on this game to buy beer, food and smokes". 😀

OMG those pirate guys made my day ^
