So I'm on the hunt for some GBA games around my city (don't worry, I'll get to the point). Going through Gamestops and smaller used video game stores. Then I see this Salvation Army that just barely opened up. I thought to myself, why not look through there. I might find what I'm looking for. Well, I didn't find what I'm looking for, but I did find a few PC games... 
 
-Descent 
-Descent II 
-Descent III 
-Mechwarrior 4 
 
All of them were in giant ziploc like bags and they come with their manuals and s strategy guide. So what do you think? Are they good finds at all? 
 
I also did find a Gamecube in there for $10, but no controller or cables. Luckily those are easy to find.

Descent is a pretty awesome game. I remember that being one of the few PC games my dad played back in the day. 
 Mad disorienting though.

gimme. if you don't know if it is a good find then your games are forfeit.

Yes those are good games but I have a feeling they haven't aged well. I played descent a few years ago and remember while its good there's some differences in how things control from back then that are kind of weird. 
 
However if you dont mind that, yes those were superb games at the time they came out.

Those are all good games, but MW4 is free now.

i think i played Mechwarrior when i was 10

I never got into Descent. I only played the demos. As for Mechwarrior 4, when it came out it would have crushed my computer at the time. 
 
So... my point is I'd be more psyched for Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries. That's the only one I owned but I played it to death. 

o shit i forgot MW4 went freebie.. i think like 2 drops of pee came out.

yeah those are goods finds. nice job man =)

I was hoping this thread was gonna be on Sacrifice. And I was gonna be like "good find".  
So yeah, hope you like shitty controls.

Descent 2 was my first experience with inverted controls, I was 6, therefore I have nothing but contempt for Descent.

I loved the Descent games when I was a kid. Played the hell out of them. I wasn't a huge fan of MW4 though. I vastly preferred MW3.

yes mechwarrior 4 is a good game. now that a wii is popular and ncasuals go looking for other nintendo games, a gamecube is hard to find in my erea. $10i a great deal. a n64 and gamecube use the same av cable, if it's any help.

That's only MW4:Mercenaries, though that is arguably the best in the MW4 line. ch13696 might have MW4: Vengeance. "

Come on,.. 'hasn't aged well'..? we're talking about the PC here. Games never die. 
 
Descent 1 & 2 have source ports available to them. Still need the original assets as a base but:

High res textures, advanced hardware effects, running stably and nicely on newer machines. There's one or two more source ports around but that one tends to be the most graphically impressive. 
 
Very nice finds btw =) 

I loved Descent growing up... I should go back and play those games again.
