Hey there I was going through some old boxes and found my old DOS games. I was wondering are any of these rare? My dad used to get them from a friend back in the day and some of them are in just simple paper sleeves with numbered stickers. Some of the CD's also have writing on them from back in the day when we first got them. I have Day of the Tentacle *#633419*, Rebel Assault *#633919*, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis *#633519*, Dark Forces, Dark Forceses / Full Throttle 3 level demo disk, Wolfenstein 3d, Duke Nukem 3d, Warcraft 1 Orcs & Humans, Warcraft 2, Warcraft 2 Expansion, and a few more I need to find.

One game in particular I need some input on, DOOM. I looked all over Ebay, Google, and anywhere else I could to find the exact DOOM cd I have but I could not find it anywhere. The DOOM disk says SHAREWARE, and is in a paper sleeve with "3201US0003030" & "01/01 ADCA" on the back. The artwork looks awesome, it has a demon looking back at you. I have not seen another one anywhere. Any thoughts on the rarity? THANKS!

GT Interactive published this CD, so it may date between 1994-96. I'm suspecting this to be a sound card or joystick bundle (which makes a bit less sense with Full Throttle).

Yeah is says 1992 then around the edge it says 1995 haha. PS I am copying all the cd files and putting them on my smartphone with Dosbox Turbo. I can play every single one of these on my phone, it is amazing.

Those look like disks that came in those "MULTIMEDIA 🤣" bundles in the 90s. You'd get a Sound Blaster 16, a CD-ROM drive, some speakers, and a fistful of games and stuff on CDs.

I recognise the Rebel Assault sleeve, mine is exactly the same and that's where it came from.

Edit: Talking about the three cardboard-sleeve disks (Indiana Jones, Rebel Assault, and DOTT), not sure about the rest sorry.

I'm no authority but I'd say if your Day of the Tentacle and Duke Nukem 3D are boxed originals [floppy version especially] they may fetch 10-20 bucks on eBay. You may see people asking much more as "Buy it Now" but I don't see much selling at those prices. The others are worth something if they are in good boxed shape but not as much as DOTT and Duke I don't think. Indiana Jones maybe..

Thanks for the input. I really do not plan on selling these, they are still really fun to play. I was just curious if some of them were special or not because of the minimal packaging and art. I found out that the DOOM I have is V1.8 according to a doc on the cd.

I also found a ton of old game manuals & guides so I have DOTT, Indy, DOOM, and a bunch of others.

Truth is if your games don't have boxes you'll be lucky to get .99 for them. Unless they are the really uber-rare titles, which those are not.

The Doom is a shareware cd, I have it, I think it's version 1.666, you can tell by installing it in dosbox or something it will say when you launch it. It's not rare. The only really rare version of Doom is 1.9 registered which is not Ultimate Doom, it was mail order only and made for only 2-3 weeks before ultimate doom was released.

Everything you have is pretty common. Sorry if you're disappointed. Cool games to play tho! =]
