best buy ever Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

i was just wonderin, what games do you gammers consider your "best buy ever" either for a good price, great replay value.... Mine is civ 2 for like 8 bucks. I dont play it as much as civ 3, but as far as bang for your buck, this one ie the best.

I'd say Secret of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, free with a PC Gamer magazine.

I got Railroad Tycoon 2 Platinum Edition for $20, but I haven't played it. I've gotten too many games recently.

I'd have to say civ2 in terms of time spent playing vs. dollars spent, even though I spent close to $160 total for all five incarnations of the game.

My best buy ever has to be a second hand copy of a practically unknown playstation game known as 'star ocean 2'. I only bought it cause it was the only game in the second hand shelf in electronic boutique that i could afford after buying a couple of other games.(it cost a tenner). It turned out to be one of the best rpgs ive ever played(just behind final fantasy 7)

it's got to be a tie.

4 pack with Civilization, Colonization, Master Of Orion, and XCom: UFO defense, for 20$. got me lots of hours on end.

tied with:

Civ2 for 12$.

I'm not sure exactly which way it leans, nut it's definitely between those 2.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

The Civ II gold edition (everything from MP to the editor feature in one game) or the HOMM collection.

I personally think the collections are always a good buy or at least most of the time. You get good games (mostly with all the expansion packs) to a very favourable price. So the best advice is: just wait a bit and you save a whole bunch of money.
