When you say Alone in the Dark 4, are you talking about limited edition, I think you are talking about the latter one, which is the 5th.

On topic. Almost certainly not the best or worst, but anyway:

Best: Star Wars: The Best of PC
€20 for Battlefront, Empire at War, Jedi Outcast, KotOR and Republic Commando. Absolutely worth it just for the last two.

Worst: A Farewell to Dragons
€5 might be a cheap price, but not when you can't run the game at all. :P

Will update if I remember something better/worse.

I once tried to play an NFL game... once. I was so incredibly confused, I had no idea what was going on :P
Can't remember which game it was though, but it must have been somewhere in the late-ish 90s.
O.o all of them for €20? That's a mindnumbingly incredible deal

I dunno about best, I'll have to think about that one, but definitely the most stinging in y recent memory was Soldier of Fortune: Payback. It looks like it'd be awesome, but the game won't even run. It starts up and runs fine until you or anyone shoots a gun then it gets bogged down to a dead snail's pace then it dies. The original SOF that came with it doesn't even run. I took them off the computer as soon as they proved worthless. Like the box, though.

Best: HoMM Collection

HoMM 1-4 complete in one DVD for 5€... 'nuff said :)

Worst: ???

I don't even remember the title, it was supposed to be this incredibly deep political sim/grand strategy but it was an overstatement to even call it a game, you just picked a country and looked at numbers change over time. I don't think there was anything to interact with. It went to the garbage next time I moved.

My parents are downstairs right now arguing over whether I should be considered "best" or "worst".

Depends. What did you cost from the bin?

I'd say my best pick was probably one of the Resident Evil games on PSX. Found it at a store for like 2 or 3 bucks.
Worst was I made the mistake of buying one of those late 90s hunting games. Deer Hunter 53 or something. It sucked giant glowing balls.

I didn't played Fable 1 but Fable 2 was cool, I enjoyed it a lot, even more than Fable 3. ^_^
Have you played Fable Anniversary?

Worst ones in order of worst-ness:

1.) Little Divil ( I thought it was something like Gobliins or Woodruff. It was not.)
2.) The Orion Conspiracy (You've probably never heard of this one. Yahtzee's freeware AGS adventure 7 Days a Skeptic is more entertaining than that)
3.) Thunderscape (not an absolute dud but it's incredibly drab and dry, no reason to play it unless you have literally played all the SSI RPGs in which case you have probably already died of old age)

Best ones:

Hard to say, I never dug up gold but I did find some fairly decent ones like F.A.K.K.² , Serious Sam and Prisoner of Ice.


Edit: My best friend did hit the jackpot though, someone dropped off a mint condition collection of more than 100 boxed games at a Salvation Army thrift store and my friend only paid $100 for the whole treasure.
That collection had just about everything: a ton of Lucas Arts & Sierra adventures, all the Ultima titles, Thief & Wing Commander series, even lesser known stuff like the Ravenloft games and Cyberia etc, you name it.
This was before I started playing games again so I didn't try to persuade my friend to keep all that stuff, plus many of those games were floppy versions. Nevertheless, it was unreal to see that some stranger had decided to get rid of such an unusually high quality collection. My friend sold most of the games online and made quite a nice profit. Such a find is probably a once in a lifetime thing, at least over here.

fable anniversary is just an enhanced fable 1. No, I have not, however I did play the first one when it was originally released and loved it. I encourage playing the first, but the controls are pretty bad by today's standards, lol. All the fun, quirky things in it make up for that though :)

At first playing 2 was a huge nostalgia trip, but once that wore off, I kinda got bored. I'm gonna give it another shot though, I redownloaded it on my xbox one the other day ;)

Best one : By far The Witcher 1 for 5€. And cherry on top, the precedent owner didn't register his copy online, which made me available for the free Enhanced Edition that got released a couple of months later. Without that bargain bin, I would have taken much more time to notice CDPR and to enjoy one of the best games I have ever played. Since that bargain bin, I'm loyal to CDPR (and they never let me down so far)

Worst one : not sure, but maybe a cheap race game, that got sold back a couple of days later.

You' re right, it is the 5th (2008) game i'm talking about! I totally forgot about The New Nightmare.:)

Best: Journeyman Project Trilogy Box Set - The oversized box was slightly crumpled/ripped and was on clearance (last one left). As a bonus, it came with a rebate offer, which combined with the clearance price, ended up being free after rebate. The discs were undamaged and I was genuinely blown away by the 3 games. They are now among my favorites.

Worst: Beneath a Steel Sky - I really wanted to play this one, but it just wouldn't work on my Windows XP -- no sound and crashing made me give up on this one. Thankfully, I can now play it on Gog. As a runner up, there was a JoWood title either The Sting! or Gorasul that crapped up my system. In any case, both of them were lackluster.

Best bargain bin purchase for me, hands-down, was Mount & Blade Warband, about 4 years ago at Half Price Books in San Antonio during a visit to the in-laws. A whopping six bucks. Granted, I haven't made many bargain bin purchases, but even if they numbered in the hundreds I suspect this one would be at or near the top.

Best
Motocross Madness
I brought it in December 2005.
I think this was the first new game that I ever brought (Before this I had used Deus Ex from a friend who was moving to other place it but never go to play it). Actually I brought because there was a cool looking shiny Age of Empire 3 DEMO DVD in the pack with some wallpapers and other game demos. It was from a gaming magazine.
After buying the magazine I found friend on whose PC I used to play game don't have a DVD drive. So I played the games on CDs.
I still have that CD but it had got scratches. I had made it's backup copy. Game seems to run fine but I am NOT able to use Track Editor.

Titan Quest Gold and Batman: Arkham Asylum
I brought them from a local store sale in June 2010. Played both games for a month or so.
They needed DVD so I had to use third party software so that they don't get scratched.

Worst
Darkstar One
Brought in May 2007.
May be it was my fault. As I didn't understood how to play it.
After few years it went missing and I never got to play it again.
