Empire Earth 2 Platinum Edition (includes Art of Supremacy expansion) (manual, Prima strategy guide, but no box)
I'd be interested in Empire Earth 2. Have to go through my stuff in the VA apartment to see what's available to pay forward this week. I do have some pure crap received via GoGamers version of Woot's Bag o' Crap deals where GoGamer sends you a bunch of crap they can't sell if you bought something from them.
I'm afraid I don't have Empire Earth 2 any more (I posted that list a long time ago).

Is anybody interested in going another round of PIFF? I've got a few games I could put up, because frankly, I'm sick of looking at them in my closet. And if we were to start new, maybe we could start a new thread?

I tried that once and had no activity and a few complaints about starting a new thread. I know a few others had some games to give away and I have a few so go for it.

<removed> this thread is still dead.

I've got a few, though I think a new thread would work best. Just do it and after the first day or two complaints will go away.

I fear digital distribution has killed the PIFF model. :cry:

Next time I'm cleaning out the closet I owe the community a few decent games, though. Scored a few back in the day @ GG but never had any claimed. Those were lean days when I was a kid and the quality of the games I posted wasn't great. :oops:

Got no immediate takers on Ankh with its own thread, so I thought I'd move it here and see if anyone still wants to do this.

Free for the taking:
Ankh (adventure game)- CD only, like new, published in the Windows XP era.
UFO Aftermath (tactical strategy)- CDs (2) only, like new.
Rhem (old Myst-like adventure)- CD and insert, like new, from 2003 but looks older
Adventure Collector's Edition Volume 1 - Penumbra: Overture, Scratches: Director's Cut, Rhem 2
Glory of the Roman Empire (Imperium Civitas I) - Roman city builder much like Tropico, but be warned that this game does not like Win7 (go get Grand Ages: Rome instead)

Anybody want Jane Jensen's Grey Matter?

Linky: http://www.amazon.com/Gray-Matter-Pc/dp/B004JMXTNU" target="_blank

Adventure title, old school style, heavy on story. I liked it until I ran into "magic tricks", but it fares pretty well in reviews.

I think the PIFF concept died when Steam got legs. Who has hard copies anymore?! :D This particular title is not on Steam (at least the last time I checked)

BTW, I bit on that GoG Interplay deal and I have Freespace 2 and MAX1/2 to gift. I've never gifted from GoG before, but it looks like there's one code so I guess both games have to go in the same gift? Anyone interested let me know

I'm impressed of , I need to say. Really not often do I encounter a phorum that's each educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you have got hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the difficulty is one thing that not sufficient people are speaking intelligently about. I'm very blissful that I stumbled throughout this in my seek for something regarding this.

Blackberry Curve accessories: two wall chargers, one extra battery, and a shock-mount holder. The holder has one tab broken on the front, so the front edge plate is loose. If you have any use for these items shoot me a PM & I'll send them your way.

You have been added! I just got my first PC in 6 years, so I'm pretty much friendless right now. :(

Pyperkub just gifted me Don't Starve, and as karmic recompense I'm putting my extra copies of Anomaly 2 (tower offense--fun little game) and Renegade Ops up for PIFFs. PM me if interested in either or both.

Hello, I'm JetFred's son. Some of you have been nice enough to get a few free games to me through him. I was wondering if anyone has a key or Steam gift for the Penumbra collection or the separate games in it. Only Overture seems to be on the store anymore. I am willing to possibly buy you something small in a trade, and I have a Steam gift of Half-Life 2 Episode One to offer, but everyone probably has that. Anyway, that's up for grabs free regardless of whether you can offer Penumbra or not. Thanks.

Oh, and he's about to repost his last games that were up for grabs before the server problem.

Mirror's Edge (Steam)
Greed: Black Border (Steam)
Space Trader: Merchant Marine (Steam)
Larva Mortis (Steam)
Obulis (Steam)

And notice my son has a spare Half-Life 2 Episode One.
