Ever bought a game for nostagic purposes...

SimCity...

I've never found that with the games I'm personally nostalgic about, but when I buy games that other people rave about that I never played in their heyday? OH GOD. AWFUL. I know this sounds like I think I'm a special snowflake, but seriously, what in the hell is going on in Outcast?

I bought Bubble Bobble on Wii Virtual Console and still love it, same with Ghost´s N Goblins.

I can't think of any game that disappointed me so far :)

I recently bought a retail version of Sonic Adventure DX, non-steam because it's a CD-Rom.
the controls are shit but the game's awesome

I bought the Max Payne Bundle for that very reason.

I love playing old school gaming!Especially on my Dreamcast :) All though I would love to play Day of the Tentacle and Full throttle again.

yes, black ops 2

I just bought House of the Dead 2 at Goodwill today. Hells yeah.

Sonic 4 ep.1. I was so happy they finally went back to the original 2D formula... exept they removed the fun of exploring the levels (yes, you could, if you wanted to) and worst of all... they changed the physics. The game played totally different from the original Sonics. I'll just consider again the series dead and carry on with my life. :)
I also decided to kickstart Elite: Frontier because when I was 4-5 I watched my father playing the original Elite. I'm not very into the genre, but I just couldn't resist. I hope they make a nice game, so that I can enjoy it. Still 1 year for it to come out though. :)

Games I used to play actually did not disappoint me. They are as I remembered them. Also, I tend to play those games not necessarily for their high level of gameplay value, but for revisiting memories. But that may be because I mostly played genres like adventure, point-and-click and puzzle games (I did play some Wolfenstein, Blake Stone, etc. though). I think those might just be pretty good at standing the test of time..?

Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Sonic Adventure.

So far haven't had an issue.

I bought jetset radio and i have't had a issue i still love the game also battlfront 2 and ive been playing mario 64 lately on a emulator it brings me back to a good time

I've always had good experiences with nostalgia, a couple months ago I was playing Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped.

No. Mostly because I still own basically all of the games that I've ever played.

I guess I could buy some of the games that I frequently played the demos for, like Hunter Hunted, but most of those games aren't on GOG. I'd rather wait to get them from there at this point.

Well, I downloaded a SNES emulator to play some Mario, TMNT, DK, MK, and other games on it. Does this count?

But from my late childhood I did order Dragonball Z: Budokai 2 for the Ps2 because that's what got me into dragonballs.

I got 12 dollars pack from GOG on Christmas only because I wanted a game Giants: Citizen Kabuto :) .. thought I might play the other games at some point, but until now I played, and finished just the Giants .... worth it! :3 Also Simcity 4000, never played it but bought it because of old Simcity that I played when I was young... also Wolfenstein 3D. Now I am planning on buying the old Fallout trilogy on Steam.

I bought TES: Oblivion for nostalgia.

Added mods, and honestly it's kinda boring now that I know all that happens.

Still an amazing game.

I bought plenty of games for nostalgic purposes, and never was disappointed. I guess I had a good taste in video games as a kid :D

I bought Dark Messiah for 2.5$ on greenmangaming , and I'm super happy ^_^

This game is just awesome , Idk why I had problem with the steam and disc (The disc didn't had even cd-key O.o) so I played only singleplayer , finished it couple of times and then the disc broke :(

So now after I got it on steam , I can play it as long as I want ^_^ , and multiplayer is really cool , there is some servers on :)

I feel you, I'm buying music that I don't even know if I like. Games are more expensive, so mostly I'm trying to control myself. recently I bought GTA III and Vice City (Own them on Steam already and I don't think I'll ever put it in tray). Same goes with Fallout 3, except this part with Steam. Played it on pirate few years ago and when I saw it on sale, bought it.

I'm the opposite. I recently rebought some old favorites on GOG and loved them more than ever. If anything, it made me really bitter the new games in the series suck and dragged the series' good name into the dirt.

I'd say 80% of the pc games I own are nostalgic. The only disappointment I had was Cannon Fodder being much harder than I remembered it. I replay the hell out of Broken Sword, Monkey Island, old Mega Drive stuff, all sorts, and I love it all again and again :D
