Ever Physically Lost a Game?

[rmb1983]

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.

That's alright, apparently the BoS CE is restricted to GameStop and Amazon, and they tagged my pre-order as PC, and I hadn't realized until CE pre-orders were locked down. Meaning that I'm still going to buy my 100 dollar CE copy -- because I'll be damned if I don't buy the Limited Edition of something I've been waiting 13 years for -- and also 60 dollars for the PS3 version, because that's the platform I want to play it on.Bolded due to my knowing that someone's bound to ask why I don't just play it on my laptop and skip buying the PS3 copy entirely.

Shit, one time I broke up with a girl, and lost my games, my playstation, my shoes, my clothes, etc cuz she burned them in a fucking bonfire. Wish she had a sister I could fuck for revenge purposes *sigh*

I still miss those shoes...

Never doubt karma on a good pair of shoes. She'll pay dearly for that one, I'd say.

I lost Pokémon Red, biut I think I may have thrown it out. Also lost all my gameboy games for a period, but I found them again.

 

[Deadyawn]

well...i didn't loose one copy, or two copies, not even five copies

no sir !

I actually managed to loose ALL my N64 games - maybe twenty or thirty- at once, only turok2 stayed in the console..
to be precisly i throw them to garbage by mistake.
We where renovating,there where lots of black bags filled with various things,some disposable.... others ... not

that happened about 10 years ago,but I'm still under shock

Damn man, that is harsh...I think I'm going to cry just thinking about that...

And of all the games you could have kept, the one you still have is turok2? I don't know if it helps but I feel seriously sorry for you.

I was on vacation in Costa Rica with my parents and I brought my DS along, including my brand-new copy of Pokemon Platinum. I had just one last Pokemon to get until I got the National Dex, but I must have left the cartridge on the floor, and it was lost when the room was cleaned. I was so sad.

haha yeah I lend games out to my friends all the time, but sometimes I forget which games I have lent out, and to which friend, gets a bit confusing, and I forget a lot.

Then weeks later I go to play it, and can't remember whether I lent it to a friend, or sold it ages ago

I've mysteriously lost many games in my time. But at least when I've gotten around to buying them again, many are far cheaper.

I remember I had some really expensive super collection edition thing of Age of Empires 1 & 2 plus the expansions and soundtrack, back when AoE 2 was relatively newly out still. Was somewhere around $200 at the time I think. I lost it somehow, then only recently bought the complete pack of all those games again for about $15, new.

Lost a couple of games, but i played my Diablo 2 LOD cd till it bursted... literaly. It blew up during a battle with diablo himself! Shredded my cd drive and damaging 2 cables. Thank god it didn't damage my motherboard.

 

[Amondren]

I lost a bunch of Gamecube games like chibi robo and others and my memory cards to boot. Don't lose many games anymore though luckily.

 

[bulldogftw]

I lost my copy of Mario Kart DS for a year, then I looked in the box for it.

 

[F'Angus]

Yeah. Somewhere in my house I have another copy of Age of Mythology because I bought another one, same with Delta Force Black Hawk Down and Smackdown: Just Bring It..

I swear someone must be stealing them.

 

[drbarno]

I remember losing Pokemon Blue for 7 years.

Same thing happened to me, but then I found it and not long after, I lost my Pokemon Red. It's like they can't stand to be around each other!

 

[Vibhor]

My cartridge of James bond Jr. on NES

 

[Ren3004]

Well, I lost Rise of Nations. One of my favourite RTSs too.

And a friend of mine lost X-Men Legends 2. He found it a few weeks later, with the disc scratched.

 

[mexicola]

Not personally but other people, when I lent them a game, have lost, damaged and plain forgotten about it on more then one occasion.

 

[SereneMidnight]

I let my 'friend' borrow my copy of Pokemon Silver so I could play his copy of Pokemon Yellow. He wanted it back, so I gave it to him, but I never got my Silver back. A asked him for it over and over again, but every time, there was another excuse. Then he moved to California, and I never saw him again.

As for actually losing games, my copy of Mario Tennis for the Game Boy Color.

 

[CommanderKirov]

Plenty of times. I actually also lost my PS2 somewhere.

 

[Commissar Sae]

Battlefield 2, i was keeping it in a case with every episode of Buffy the vampire slayer. Then while watching said show on my laptop between classes I forget the case and go to my next class... Had to buy the game again on a students budget, that was not cool.

FFUUUUUU--

OT: I've lost my copy of Evil Dead Hail To The King (Playstation 1) a few times but I always find it in the end. I have lost many pc games in the past, usually because I bought them for my old computer and they didnt work so they just got burried under piles of crap.
