Thanks guys. I am especially vulnerable right now, being laid off from work with nothing much to do and living off my meager savings while I await my first unemployment check.
Especially you, @BrianRubin for bring it up in the first place. Crimson Skies is a game I never bought when it was new. Why I didn’t buy it, I don’t know (if I had to guess, it was because it never ever seemed to drop in price). And as I have quite a nice collection of boxed games from that era that I bought new, I decided to go looking at eBay for a nice boxed copy with all inserts. Looks like I can get a nice used copy shipped for $50, or a sealed box for $60.
I have decided against it for the time being, even though I’ve got a few retro rigs from that era that will likely run it just fine (one is a PII 266 Win98SE and VooDoo2). However, now eBay keeps throwing up pictures of a ton of other boxed PC games I wish I had. I finally had to shut it down. This is not a good time for me to be browsing eBay. :-(
