I can point out varios points in this thread you deliberately missed or dismissed...
I am not lying and stating this is rude and a weak discussion strategy.
Same as the Doom cherry picking. It was an example that you deliberately chose to interpret the way it fits your narrative, ignoring other examples but instead sticking to this and using other releases to not concede a point. It's obvious and petty.
Amazing. Every word of what you just said is wrong.
I didn't pick Doom as an example. When Deskor used Doom as an example, I was able to very quickly provide FOUR eBay listings of 26-year-old physical media for $12 or less, all from the first page of either incomplete (for the first example) or completed (for the other 3) listings. You want more examples?
Here's one that ended at $5: https://www.ebay.com/itm/184867636587?hash=it … ZwAAOSwirtgt-Qe
Here's one that ended at $20: https://www.ebay.com/itm/363410732608?hash=it … pcAAOSwwlhgrTMm
Here's one that ended at $8: https://www.ebay.com/itm/174712444327?epid=55 … bQAAOSw~49fhhzf
Here's one that ended at $6: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274807211399?hash=it … jEAAOSwfjFgqavK
All of these are from literally the first page of results, and that's ignoring all the Mac releases, Ultimate Doom Trilogy Collector's Editions, and whatever other junk pops up in a search for "ultimate doom".
That is not cherry-picking. That is just proof that Deskor was wrong.

But there are more games, for example :
duke nukem 3d
Literally the very first result, for the PC platform, among completed listings, in a search for "duke nukem 3d": https://www.ebay.com/itm/Duke-Nukem-3D-PC-199 … &orig_cvip=true
Eight US dollars, zero bids. (yeah, shipping would have been another 12 USD so the total cost is $20, but still... not expensive)
I'm not going to waste my time going through every game on your list when you clearly can't be bothered to do the ten seconds of Ebaying necessary to verify your claims before you make them.
Since people like posting system specs:
LGA 2011
Core i7 Sandy Bridge @ 3.6 ghz
4 GB of RAM in quad-channel
Geforce GTX 780
1600 x 1200 monitor
Dual-booting WinXP Integral Edition and Win7 Pro 64-bit
