I'm still irritated that I can't find my original SNES copy of Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I think my brother traded it to a friend for Jurassic Park (which kinda sucked, especially compared to Zelda).

 

[LuckyClover95]

Nope, luckily. Had a boy steal Animal Crossing in year 6 though.
Why did you have PC, 360 and PS3 version of one game?

I got Warcraft 3 on the release date, but I lost my copy.

KotOR, played it for the first time, "wow this is cool" went back to play it next day... gone!
looked for 6 hours, got pissed off, went and bought it again. Never found the original

Kinda, I've had "friends" steal games before.

This. I've "lost" at least three games to the same guy; needless to say, I don't let him even BREATHE next to my games now.

But I have also seriously lost a game before. Kingdom Hearts. No idea how, but it was in my Dark Cloud 2 case at the time, and I was in the middle of cleaning out my room. NO idea how it happened, but I've been keeping DC2 in my KH case ever since.

Everyone does.

Especially if you've gamed for over 20 years.

I always manage to keep, and know exactly where my shittiest games of all time are. Even in obscure places, in the attic for instance. Like "Monster Truck Madness" for PC, or "Deadly Towers" for NES. I will always know where they are; "At the end of the pile about 3 inches from the bottom in that box stored in the corner with 7 other boxes piled perpendicular and on top of it. The box has a torn flap, and the flaps are not tucked into each other, but the flaps of the box on top of it are. The box also smells like a sock, and I last saw the game 7 years ago. I think the game has a torn label as well." Yup, that's where it is, and it's torn across the title.

But when I need to find the disc for Company of Heroes or something interesting like that.. well, sometimes it's an ordeal.

This is my entire life. Inexplicable detail to some memories, but when something is required expediently it always manages to slip my mind.

OT: Once during a party at my house back in high school I lent my copy of Myst 3: Exile to an attractive female friend (Who I didn't know that well). I promptly forgot about it, and then remembered years later when I wanted to play it again. D'oh.

 

[Captain-Giggles]

Link's Awakening for the Gameboy, I never finised it either...

 

[Telemachus]

i haven't lost a game in several years. and the game i did lose were stupid ones i probably shouldn't have bought anyway. im very protective of game i purchase, even the used ones for $10. the last i can remember is NBA Live 2002 for PS2.

 

[Aelrath]

I don't know where ma old copy of super smash bros. went.
I wept like a 12 year old going on 4chan for the first time.
A sad sad day...

 

[JasonKaotic]

Croc 2.
My life has not been the same since then.

 

[The Lugz]

yes, star-gunner and i loved that game!!

iv'e lost the rights to my downloadable games more often though ( thank-you very-much ea. )

 

[Bleedingskye]

Haven't lost any games, pretty good at that, but I lose accessories all the time. I've lost nearly all "guns" except for the nintendo one: no more snes bazooka, can't play ps1 Time Crisis cause no more gun. I've lost a couple xbox controllers, luckily no games tho

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.

What the what? Did it damage your computer or something? The disc just got ripped up? How does that happen?

 

[Felix 'Solomon' Hultgren]

Yeah, that happens.

 

[Enrathi]

Lost my Dawn of War play disc. Had the rest in the case, just lost disc one to play it.

 

[Woodsey]

My Crysis disc went walk about a while ago.

I have a sneaking suspicion I knocked it into the bin by my desk and then threw it out without realising.

 

[Dexiro]

Kinda, I've had "friends" steal games before.

I've had this too. Pretty much every handheld game I ever owned went missing other than a few terrible GBA games. I suspected that one of my "friends" was stealing them, which was kind of confirmed when I saw one of my missing PS2 games magically appear in his bedroom but I was a complete pushover at the time and ended up assuming it was his.

Still no trace of those games to this day.
