I am thinking about perhaps purchasing some of the following items. Please, feel free to share your thoughts, opinions, and advice on these options. I have been saving my money for quite some time now, and currently have about $65. Here are the items I am considering buying and their prices (please note that some of the stuff would cancel each other out; for example, I wouldn't get AvP 2 if I also decided to get AvP 2 gold]). Which do you think I should get (I don't [generally; I did so once or twice, like when I purchased Command & Conquer: Sole Survivor, but that was just because nobody was selling it new [and I had waited several months to see if someone would, but nobody did so I just decided to buy it used, like new]) buy used computer games online, so all prices are new)?

Well thats a long list. I'm not gonna say what you should buy and what not, but I\ll give few pointers and comments I hope are useful.
Command & Conquer --- $4.99 + $3.99 shipping
Command & Conquer: Red Alert --- $29.99 + $3.99 shipping

Pretty steep for games so old. They are classics yes, but EA released all old C&C games on a collection "The First Decade", you should get that one instead if you can find it, wont be any more expensive than a one new game.
Homeworld --- $11.88 + $4.99 shipping
Pretty good game, and not too bad prise. Though shipping is bit expensive being 1/3 of the total prise.
Total Annihilation: Kingdoms
Also a good game. :)]
Galactic CIvilizations II: Dread Lords --- $3.00 + $3.99 shipping
Dread Lords is an expansion pack, you got GC2 or planning to get it with it? Then again I think you can buy it directly from Stardock wihout shipping, GC2 is tied to Stardocks own online platform anyways.
Tomb Raider --- $9.95 + $3.99 shipping
A true classic, even on PC platform. But it is also old DOS based game and won't easily run on any modern system. I think it is still too heavy game for DOSBox. But is pure gold with 3dfx patch if you got old voodoo system hanging around.
Earth 2140 --- $4.74 + $3.99 shipping
Earth 2160 --- $3.90 + $3.75 shipping

Factoring shipping in, I think it would be cheaper to buy them here, and you will get extras to boot.
Anarchy Online Special Edition --- $1.49 + $3.99 shipping
Fun sci-fi MMORPG, but requires monthly payment just like all MMOs, you should factor that cost in.
If you can get Tomb Raider running, I recommend it.
Didn't you already make this topic?
Did you think that sneaking in spam links into a post filled with links was going to prove less obvious?
Also, to anyone with a legitimate interest: C&C & C&C Red Alert are both freeware available through EA.

I could have sworn so too, but I can't find it now. Maybe a moderator deleted it as the spam it was.
Didn't Anarchy Online shut down? I guess if you want a pretty box and cd you can mount on your wall. :)

Actually, Dread Lords isn't an expansion pack. That would be Dark Avatar and Twilight of the Arnor. Regardless, great game, with incredible AI. Ultimate Edition with all three is quite cheap on Impulse, actually.
MechCommander 2
you can get that one legally for free together with mech commander gold @ http://mechcommander.org/ as torrents
especially the first one is great

Yeah, it was deleted along with a few others from this guy.
Galactic Civ 2 is a pretty solid 4X game. Neverwinter Nights is great if only for the user-made content, but if you're going to buy it, you should buy one of the collections that includes both expansions, as most user-made content requires them.
You could probably get Tomb Raider Anniversary for about the same price as Tomb Raider. It's essentially a remake, and opinions differ on which version is better, but it's something to consider.
I'm taking it on faith, of course, that you are not just posting this to disguise your forum spam, and that you put those links in there because you can't help yourself.
