Piffage for Brett, RunningMan and hitbyambulance -- is in the mail.

Posted: **Sat Oct 28, 2006 12:53 pm**

Smoove_B, if you haven't already tossed them out, I would love to have Zork Nemesis. Always wanted to replay it. You could always give the rest to Goodwill or other thrift store. PM sent.

Posted: **Sat Oct 28, 2006 1:28 pm**

Don't feel bad Smoove, nobody wants my DVDs I put up for offer either. I am going to throw up two more goodies today:

1. Advent Rising - Claimed by Alefroth
2. Lemmings (Win XP Compatible)

Karma at +7

Posted: **Sun Oct 29, 2006 1:50 am**

I dont' even remember what I had put up for PIFFage.

Time to put up some NEW ones... Since nobody had bitten on anything:

Marine Sharpshooter (box and CD) FPS
Army Ranger Mogadishu (box and CD) FPS
Jetfighter V (this came as jewelcase) arcady flight sim
Codename: Outbreak (box and CD) FPS
Apache Air Assault (box and CD) arcady flight sim

I know, I know, all of these are OLD stuff. The truth is my backlog is so long I have to keep the newer stuff to play myself!

Posted: **Sun Oct 29, 2006 11:03 am**

Ok, I think I've got my PIFF list updated; if there's anyone out there that wants anything left, now is the time to speak up.

Come Friday, whatever is left over is going to be...well...taken care of. I would never just toss 'em, but they will be leaving my house.

Thanks.

Ooh.. I almost bought Advent Rising. JSL, could I grab your copy? I'll find something to add once I get home.

Putting up- Celtic Kings: Rage of War

Yes, your karma is now +12

kestrel, i need your address. i'll hold them for you.

vinda-lou and kestrel, let me know if you want the boxes for those. (I assume you want the metal case, so i'll send both in it) i can save a few bucks if i dump them.

i'll hit up the PO tomorrow, so let me know, otherwise i'll toss the boxes.

Posted: **Mon Nov 06, 2006 9:03 pm**

Caine, I'll take Moonbase Commander.

Posted: **Thu Nov 09, 2006 9:26 am**

Picked up No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way (unopened) for someone. For whom?

Edit: Is anyone still offering Commandos 2?

Posted: **Thu Nov 09, 2006 12:27 pm**

No takers, hmmm...

Adding to PIFFage...

Combat Task Force 121 (FPS lite)
Darkfall (adventure/horror)
Desert Thunder (3rd person tank shooter)
Midnight Outlaw Illegal Street Drag Nitro Edition (car customization / drag racing sim lite)

Vinda-Lou, can I claim BHD and Team Saber off of you? I actually have BHD, just not Team Saber, but I don't want to break the combo.

Posted: **Thu Nov 09, 2006 1:12 pm**

Is anyone keeping a list of games offered like there used to be? I'm lost.

Posted: **Thu Nov 09, 2006 10:25 pm**

Grund -

Commandos 2 - That would be me.

I''ll find it and get it right out to you.

PM on it's way about your address.

Posted: **Thu Nov 09, 2006 10:35 pm**

Cool! Thanks!

Two quick RR questions: Have you found a way to get it going in xp? Do you have the awesome newspaper it came with? If yes to either or both, I'd like to give it a new home!

Posted: **Tue Nov 14, 2006 10:03 pm**

Sorry to take so long to reply, Vinda Lou. I forgot to check back here.

I have the $10 v ersion of Redneck Rampage - no paper, just the disc in a plastic jewel case. It's the Window 95/98 version. I don't know if I tried it with WindowsXP.
But I'd be happy to send it to you regardless, if you'd like.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2006 2:44 pm**

Another PIFFage...

I'll throw in Shellshock Nam '67

Got it new in box, but couldn't get it to work. The DVD reads, but keeps telling me that the program cannot be executed, then the install dies about 90% in. No visible scratches on media, so must be drive incompatibility. Any one else want to give it a try?

Is this even usable anymore? I thought they closed all the servers.

Sad, because I loved that game when it worked.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2006 7:32 pm**

don't know. i got this when i was into swg and didn't want to bother with a 2nd mmorpg. also, from what i was hearing, the most fun to be had was cannon-balling off the highest cliffs into the lakes to watch the waves.

Posted: **Sun Dec 03, 2006 11:06 pm**

Adding some games:

Rome: Total War
Silent Hunter 3

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2006 12:28 am**

I'll take Rome: Total War!

Will put up some more to my freebies list tomorrow (something decent too to keep the karma up!)

Ill take silent hunter 3, as soon as i unpack all the games more freebies will be up, but my karma is still positive.

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2006 10:58 am**

Ok, that's Rome Total War to Crux, and Silent Hunter 3 to Brettmcd. PM with your addresses, and I'll try to get them in the mail to you tomorrow.

Posted: **Tue Dec 05, 2006 7:50 pm**

Alrighty then. In the interests of good karma (since most of the originals I put up weren't too terribly good), I'll offer up the following:

Medieval Total War (Taken)
Heroes of Might and Magic III
Alpha Centauri (Taken)
Majesty (+ expansion) (Taken)

Nothing brand new I'm afraid, but all considered classics!

Posted: **Wed Dec 06, 2006 2:35 pm**

I'll take Majesty (+expansion if no one else wants it).

I don't think I've offered anything up in a while, so I'll be something up when I get home.

Posted: **Wed Dec 06, 2006 9:32 pm**

Crux, can I claim Medieval TW and Alpha Centauri off of you? I got the AC manual but no game from a thrift store.

ANd that's MTW only, no Vikings, right?

Sidenote: Vinda-Lou, got your package. Thanks!

Posted: **Thu Dec 07, 2006 8:38 am**

That's MTW to Kasey (no expansion), and Alpha Centauri.

Majesty + expansion to Koz.

PM me your addresses please guys and I'll try to get it out before the weekend.

Posted: **Sat Dec 09, 2006 7:07 pm**

Adding to OctoPIFFage... Mainly older stuff

Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising US Interplay Edition, should have whole box
-- I'll throw in the official strategy guide if I can find it!
-- this mix of RTS, strategy, and FPS is one of the most UNappreciated games of all time.s

Formula Evolution (CD/envelope only, DOC on the CD)
-- simple arcade sci-fi racer, but hard to master!

Seven Kingdoms II (CD/envelope only, DOC on the CD)
-- another one of Trevor Chan's RTS with everything AND the kitchen sink

Warlords Battle Cry 1 (should have manuals and box, maybe ref card)
-- Warlords meets RTS, with a branching campaign! Will you be good or evil? Different races means totally different strategies and tactics.

Warlords Battle Cry 2 (everything)
-- WBC, with even MORE races, bigger campaign, and so on. (Tell you the truth, I haven't even opened the darn box, got it used)

Octopus Overlords

Pay It Forward Freebies -- I
