    Does anyone know where I can find some of the older game titles that you cannot readily go into a store and purchase? Other than the obvious Ebay of course... Freeware, obsolete-ware, or simply purchasing them.

    I'm getting deployed to southwest Asia in the fall and I want a nice large selection of titles so I don't go crazy.

    welllllllll........ definently ebay is your best bet. But go to like WalMart and get Quake 4 for only 10 bucks. and they may have a wide selection on other good cheap games. Look into getting BF 2, it is fun, even by yourself. And Half Life 2 can have you spending hours of fun in Garry's Mod 9 or even in single player. Just do some research, i hope i helped you a little.

    I find a lot of older games on Amazon through the resellers. Generally I head for the pre-owned original games but there is a company called...xplosiv which ships a lot of older titles even though they are out of print. I have moderate success with them, one game plain didn't work and it cost me so little I didn't feel like fighting over it but I recently picked up another and it works perfectly.

    How old are the games you are looking for. Are you looking for Faxanadu?
