Games You'd Buy Twice

I've bought a fair share of older PC games twice, maily for the convenience of having them preconfigured to run in DOS-Box.
Also, some disks got too worn out, and I purchased them again. System Shock 2, Hexen. I lost my Civilization 1 floppy just to find it again three days after repurchasing it.
I also have some games in the PC and in the PS3. Oblivion, for instance. I'll probably do the same for Skyrim.

Okami, FULLSTOP.
I currently have the Wii version and currently seeking out a cheap copy of the PS2 version, just so I can play that GODDAMN masterpiece again!!

Morrowind is one I have bought twice. I had a used copy that was buggy. I bought a new one later when the Game of the Year edition came out.
In the past 3 years, this happened to me for Oblivion, both Mass Effect games, and Saints Row 2
lol - I also bought Morrowind three timesStarCecil said:
The first copy was just a normal boxed version of the game. I somehow managed to lose that while moving house so bought the GOTY edition. Then last year I bought it on Steam when I saw it in one of their sales - somehow completely forgetting that I already owned it
Oh my god, if I could I would have bought Shadow of the Colossus twice, as well as Minecraft, then give one to my girlfriend. . . Oh wait, I already did that. :I
Games I alright have bought twice or more:
Fallout 1 + 2 and Tactics
Commandos 2 Men of Courage
Commandos behind enemy lines and Beyond the call of duty
Modern warfare I've bought 3 times
Hitman 1+2
I think thats about it, most of then I've had retail, then I bought them in a bundle on steam or the like.

I've purchased, at my local EB Games, Deus Ex 1 six times. People kept borrowing them, and I was too impatient to wait for them to finish. So, now that everyone has given them back, I have six copies of the same game. I taped the covers up on my wall last week, they look pretty all in a row.
Of course, now I own it on Steam, so that's all over.

Well I can't find my Mass Effect 2 disc and that has made me really want to play it again, so looks like I'll have to buy it for a second time.
Besides that I've bought starcraft so many times I've lost count.

Come to think of it, I paid for that one twice, but only got one copy. I deserve a copy of TF2's worth of hats, Valve.DarkRyter said:
(Seriously. I bought it on its own during the Summer 2010 sale, and then I bought a copy of the Orange Box that Winter, but because I already had TF2 and Portal, the only thing I got out of it was the Half Life games. Not that I'm really complaining; I think I paid, like, $3 for those Half Life games, and less than $10 total even when you consider that I paid for TF2 separately. Still, they should have given me a giftable copy; digital distribution shouldn't work any differently on that front than hard copies.)
Getting more on topic, there have been plenty of games from this gen that I would gladly buy again if they were lost or stolen. Unfortunately, most of them are tied to a digital distribution account of some form or another, so "losing" them is pretty much impossible, unless the company goes belly up or just decides to ban me, in which case I've effectively been stolen from, but am probably out of luck for re-buying, too. Of the ones that I have in hard copy, I would definitely be willing to re-buy Galactic Civilizations II, but even that one is tied to an online account; Stardock used a really cool system where you don't actually need the CD key if you have the disc, but you can use it to tie a game to your Impulse account, which gave you automatic updates and the ability to download and install the game on any computer, regardless of whether you have the disc or not. The rest of the games from this gen that I've got in hard copy? I probably would not re-buy them. Oblivion is terrible compared to Morrowind and Daggerfall, and none of the other games I've got really "wowed" me to the extent they would need to for me to pay for them twice. I mean, just looking at my shelf, pretty much everything on it is either fairly mediocre, or too old to be considered current gen. I have no idea how that worked out; like I said, I've got plenty of great current gen games, they're just mostly on my hard drive, not my shelf.
