Ever Physically Lost a Game?

[EternalFacepalm]

Mass Effect. To this day I still haven't found it.

Not a game, but the manuals with the unlock codes on them. Especially after we had a big move from apartment to house. After a bit I started writing the unlock codes down after I bought the game on slips of paper, and taping them to the inside of the cover art box AND the hard plastic cover that housed the CD. lol

I've had a few games with the serial code on the CD itself. Great, can't lose the key without losing the CD too, such a good idea one would think. Until it gets partway through the setup, asks for the key then you have to eject the disc which crashes the setup which happens every time because between installs you forget the key is on the disc itself and it drives you so mad you log on to an internet site and name yourself after an ice cream and rant about it.

Not that I speak from personal experience.

Pretty sure I have lost some games over the years. Can't seem to find my original X-Com box, but I just went and bought a second copy off steam. *shrug* it was only a few quid and the games are so awesome I really don't mind paying twice.

There was a mix up at my local Gamestation on Friday, basically they'd mis-ordered the Balls of Steel Editions of Duke Nukem Forever. They had 5 pre-orders, but only ordered 4 copies.

Being as though I was the first person on there reservation lists, and the first person that to come in asking about the Duke, I made them give me someone elses copy. I'll be damned if I wasn't getting my Balls of Steel edition.

 

[Doom-Slayer]

My copy of Bioshock, the metal cased one...I liked that case too...

 

[Mr Companion]

I can't find Earth Defense Force 2017 anywhere! Anybody who has played that game knows what a loss this is.

 

[JediMB]

Lost my CnD Rescue Rangers game for the NES.

Got my Power Blade for the NES stolen.

Lost my Super Mario 64 for many years, only to find it again a couple of years back.

Sly 3.

I was so bloody depressed when it happened, and i don't even know how it happened. It just disappeared suddenly...

 

[Goldeneye103X2]

Silent Hill 4 on the PS2 and Final Fantasy 6 on the GBA. I was near the end of them both and they disappeared.

May I just say that your avatar seems to fit your situation perfectly? Just sayin is all.
OT:Ive never really lost a game. Unless having my steam account hacked counts. It pissed my off so much when it happened, I couldn't play half life 2.

 

[kouriichi]

Yup.
After you've amassed over 600 PC disks like i have, you tend to lose track of some of them.

 

[Durananrananrananran]

If you ever move in with a girl who is a gamer, make sure you're very clear on who's games are who's. It will end in tears otherwise. That's all I want to say on the matter.

 

[maninahat]

Sure, though it is mostly down to my brother stealing and pawning them off. He's taken games, wii remotes, I'm surprised he hasn't sold the whole console.

 

[Cowabungaa]

*thinks*

Nope. For a while I thought I lost my original copy of Rollercoaster Tycoon, but I found that again a few months back. The postal service did loose track of my order of the Warcraft 3 Battlechest, but I didn't end up paying for it so that doesn't count.

Hell, I gained more games over the years by accident than I lost them; Unreal 2, Black And White 2 and FEAR. Borrowed them from friends, played them, forgot about them, they did too and when I left high school I never really talked to them again. And now they're on my shelf.

Edit:

I remember now! I've lost my copy of Railroad Tycoon 2. Back then I usually left the disc in my parent's PC as I played it quite a lot. Then it suddenly broke down and dad took it to the repairshop, not knowing there still a disc in it. It came back without it. I was sad that day.

 

[Elsarild]

My half-life generation pack went missing years ago, no clue where it was, it wasen't among my things when I moved out of my parents house 2 years ago, so I guess someone stole it

 

[teebeeohh]

my mum once threw out all my games from p-z(and this includes every the-game), they were all in one box and she thought i didn't want to keep the contents. She was more heartbroken about this than me since i could just download 90% of those through steam.

 

[TrevHead]

Lost no, stolen yes, as someone who has been gaming for since the 8 bit era I only have my PC and its games to show for it. Thank god for emulation

 

[The87Italians]

Well, I once bought a copy of Rainbow Six Vegas that didn't even come with a game inside of it. Besides that, the only games I've ever lost were older gameboy games.

 

[Deathninja19]

Yeah the Fifth Element, don't laugh I liked it, at least I think it was lost it may have been 'borrowed'.

 

[Wieke]

Not sure where my copy of Neverwinter Nights (+ 2 expansions) went.

This is one of the reasons I like digital distribution.

 

[Funkysandwich]

I lost my copy of pokemon gold when I was in grade 6...
