Have you ever searched around your room and...?

...found a game that you forgot you had?!

this happened to me today. I haven't seen this game for possibly over 10 years and I completely forgot that I even had it! that game would be Ridge Racer Revolution (and a few PS1demos!). It's not exactly the best game, but it's still awesome when you find stuff you forgot you had!

The only downside is, I used to have a proper PS1 case with it, and I don't now, it was just the disc. I tried it though and it works fine (besides the occasional freezing of music tracks on the main menu, for some reason, but that's the only problem). I just need to get a cover for it, as I have a backup case :).

Anybody else ever had something like this happen to them? :)

kind of, I found a disc of battle arena toshinden in one of the drawers .

only problem was it wasn't mine :P , I already had a copy of the game, and Im pretty sure a friend left it here years ago and we both forgot about it.

other than that, nope, I tend to have a very good long term memory so I usually remember where each game is.

Heh, nice :P. What did you do with the game?

I forgot to add - my copy of WCW Mayhem disappeared a few years back for the PS1. I have searched and searched and I can't find it. These two instances (finding this game, and losing another) is the only time anything like this has ever happened, as I take good care of my games. I bet it's laughing at me somewhere in my room, after it sealed itself flat under the floorboards or something :P.

I am tempted to just re-buy it off of eBay, but I bet if I do that I will find my normal one without even trying... LOL. If I find that game, I will be happy and will immediatelygoon it:P. I wonder where it went as I never leave any of my PS1 games apart from each other, I really do wonder!

The reverse happened to me the other day. I was looking for Megaman X7 (granted it's not that great of a game but I liked it) and I couldn't find it. About a half an hour later I remembered I sold it like five years ago.

Yeah, I recently found my old Battle Chess floppy disk, which, surprisingly, still works.:P

well i found a music cd i made when i was 5, if this counts... i had some pretty good taste when i was 5, some god smack, chili peppers, saliva.. etc

Occasionaly I'll find an old Gameboy game that I played years ago... It's always pretty cool.

haha this happened to me once too with Lunar 2. I sold it with the first on Ebay back in 2006, and a few years later I really wanted to play it, but couldn't find it. I then realzed the sad truth that a didn't have it anymore. All well, I have since re-bought the first and I'm sure it is only a matter of time (and money) that I'll end up getting the second again :p

I was looking for an old PS1 game a while back called "Tenchu Stealth Assassins" I had a blast playing that, wish they would remake it. Anyway called my girlfriend and asked her if she still had my box of PS1 stuff console, games, etc. She said she could not find it anywhere...I was like man what a bummer =( had some classics.

Yup :) Found an old game called Blood Will Tell a couple of years back. One of my friends gave me the game saying it had a great story. Pretty interesting game but sadly, I got stuck in one part and never played it since :(

that game would be Ridge Racer RevolutionAshley_wwe

I have the story of all lost game stories. So my very first game that I bought was Gauntlet from Tengen on my NES. I loved that game, even though I know now that I never got past world 1 lol. Anyway, I had a habit when I was younger of putting my games on couches and chairs I was sitting on. One day I left Gauntlet on my father recliner. When I came home to play it the recliner was gone. My parents sold it to someone out of town for their cabin.

I was upset at my parents to put it nicely.

Fast forward 16 years later. Me and my girlfriend's brother are looking at old games at Game Crazy. I see a black angle game, just like Gauntlet. I hesitated for a second, I thought it might be another copy of RBI Baseball. Now when I first starting getting games I made a habit of carving my initials in the right notch at teh bottom of my games.

To my suprise, I picked up the game and there in the notch was carved "MAS". I had found my lost game.

I know it doesn't go exactly with the topic since it wasn't in my room but I wanted to share with everyone.

no, but i didnt realize i had double copies of some games, 2 vice city's on pc, 2 gta3's on ps2 and i think 3 mgs3's, I guess i forgot i owned games like kinetica, klonoa 2, and winback for ps2

It's okay, I have played all Tekken 1, 2 and 3 :). Well, at least I think the original? anyway, Tekken 2 felt slower and more clunky, but it was still fun. I want all of those at some point :). [QUOTE="Nismology"]Lol, I traded that game in today! Along with Nascar 2000, Rayman 2 and NFS2. On the plus side I got Panzer Dragoon, Project Gotham Racing 2 and Destruction Derby 64 in return :).Darkman2007

Yeah I bought mgs3 a few times and never opened it because it was cheap, i have doubles of others because i lost discs and found them years later....but i love finding something i completely forgot i had, it only happens with gameboy games though...for some reason i can't remember what games i had 16 years ago

No, but if one of you came into my house, and put a random game in my room without me knowing I'd be very happy :PMario2007

Rachet and Clank: Up your Arsenal.

I recently moved, and i found a box that had a bunch of old games. I got all the games i wanted and left it. A month later i opened it, and at the very bottom was Ratchet and Clank. I had no clue i ever had that.

yea about 2 weeks ago i stumbled upon my Prince of tennis game for the GBA. i found it behind my clothing cabint when i was cleaning..i soon as i saw it i stopped cleaning and started to play it :lol:

Lol, I don't think so! The music on my copy was absolutely fine, but I did have that exact problem with my copy of THPS2. The disc was pretty scratched up, so I took it to ASDA and go it resurfaced. That fixed the problem, and the disc looks all shiny and new again :)Nismology

[QUOTE="Nismology"] Ahh, nice :). I didn't know that you could actually take discs to places like Asda to do that! awesome. My disc however only has the odd scratch, kind of like "played a lot" scratches. [QUOTE="LP4EVA2005"]

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"][QUOTE="Ashley_wwe"] Haha, well it is an awesome feeling to find games, so it's not that surprising that you would do that :P.

the machine I have cost me £20, and fixes a disc in about 1 minute.

unless the scratch is really deep , then you need something thats industrial , but frankly, Gamestation didn't work thats for sure and they wanted £2 for it too.

though Ive ran out of "cleaning solution" which is really just water for the most part with a few extras, so I just use regular tap water as replacement, works just as well.
