I have lately been looking for old computer games, and was looking to you dvdtalkers for help. The firt one I want is pirates, I played this for nintendo and then got it for the computer. And the other though I never bought it I guess it came with my computer at the time i called conflict, in this game you were Isreal and you hadto make peace with the other mid east countries, then attack them. Anyone know where i could find these

i'd say funcoland, ebay, and yard sales are probably your best bets, but you're still going to have a tough time. good luck!

Funcoland doesn't carry pc games. Also when you find them remember if they are old enough you might have to slow your processor down I have seen games run to fast a newer machine.

Fleamarkets are your best bet if there's one in your area.

If you want to find REALLY old games, also check out Thrift Stores. There's the occasional NES game, but you'll mostly be seeing TI-88 and Atari 2600.
