Topic: Should I give up my SFC software? (Read 14791 times)

Magnum357 · « **on:** July 13, 2011, 04:42:24 pm »

I've reached a point where I'm wondering if I should give up my copies of SFC1, SFC OP< and SFC3 mostly because I face conciquences if I play them now, they kinda are just taking up space (if your not using them, there basically drink costers) and I'm reaching an age in my life (I'm 34+ now) where I wonder if I'm getting too old to play this stuff anymore. Does anyone agree with this logic or not?

If I did give them up (not saying I will, but perhaps) does anyone want a copy? Or should I keep them and if I ever have family, hand them down to son or daughter? (although finding a date in the town I live in can be a challenge).

Like any1 here is going to tell you to throw them away and never come back! Hah!

Seriously tho, download imgburn and backup the CD's. Write the codes in a text file, and if you really want the 1 inch of space free, toss em. Even if you were to buy them now-a-days, all you would get is a digital download, same thing.

As for to old to play? I think you will find many of those who hand around forums are older than you! Soon tho, hopefully, some new stuff will come out and things will pick up again. So don't be too eager to jump ship.

EDIT: That means my vote would be "Your not washed up, but if you want, save the CD's on PC and throw them away"

I'm of the same opinion. SFC is a great way to work out your work frustrations

as for age, look at the calender and check out us old fogies on here. Age is just a number. Everyones mileage may vary, but I hope to be playing along on this game 'til they close the lid on me.

Like what...?
I'll be 50 in a few days, 4 grown kids, even have a grandson. Never too old to blow s*** up!
Everybody's got a hobby, and mine at least keeps me home with the wife and out of trouble.

The only REAL issues would be can you keep handy a xp machine to run them for future events . The disks are worthless if the OS wont let them work so Save your machine that works them now and buy a new one for future use. Save the games and SAVE those xp machines that can play them untill the vista/7 play issues are solved.

I wouldn't - not in a million years. This is the best, most tactically depthed, most cerebral game I have ever played.

ya it's old and no it doesn't work correctly on the new oses. I'm not playing atm because of family issues. I'll be 49 in a few months.I still have them tucked away for the day they get those issues worked out so that we can have campaign's again. I really do miss them.

Don't forget there is someone with that name on this board meaning me.I would use time.

I would go freak if something happened to mine as they get harder to replace with every passing year.

You can pick up SFC OP from Dynaverse at the store. Might as well, pick up a copy of EAW also as everyone will need a copy of that.
