Games Acquired 2013

I got The Witcher for only $9.99 at Target with a gift card I got for my birthday.

Is it packaged in one of those cardboard CD-size cases? My copy of Mount & Blade is like that - also $9.99 from Target.

Yep. Took forever to install.

I'm downloading Fable III right now. I got it free with an XBox Live Gold Subscription, which was on special for $1 for only a month. So I basically just got Fable III for $1!

Picked up PS1 long box copy of DOOM. Huge fan of this game & happy to own this port in a great lookingbox.

^ That's really cool. I always picture the classic "space marine with helmet on" cover art but I forgot about the also cool alt artwork above.

Thanks man. Yeah the PS1 box art is interesting. I really like the Jaguar box art (similar to SNES & 32x but overall cleaner presentation IMO). Saturn art is alright. My DOOM "collection" below:

That Doom Guy is similar to the one on the PC Doom II cover.

Cool stuff. I don't think I was aware of the different cover art for the Saturn version. It's very '90s game magazine ad-ish haha.

Funny side note: I actually read the Doom novelizations when I was a teenager. I think it was a series of four. Don't know if I would feel the same way today, but I remember them being surprisingly good.

When I worked at a middle school I remember kids reading the Halo novelizations haha.

They're actually pretty decent. The ones written by Eric Nylund. I mean the Halo universe really expanded, but in 2001ish they were actually helpful in explaining the backstory of Halo and the rise of the Spartans. Fall of Reach and First Strike are still worth reading.

Don't really know much about PC games but for some reason heard they're rising in price and I knew Ultima was a classic so I picked these up. Looks like Ultima might be worth some money? These are sealed if you can't tell.
