So I was cleaning out my shed and found an old PC magazine that contained the following amazing offer from Columbia House.



2 games for only $4.95 each? Holy poo poo, not even Steam or GoG can match that for some of these classic games.


I'm leaning towards Hoyle Classic Games but that WinDelete 97 looks like a useful program to have.

I'm sorry, I require the specific number of drinks you intend to provide. No sale.

Edit: I also want "Oil Change". I haven't changed my laptop's oil in some time now.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
When I was a kid I signed up for Columbia House VHS club without my parents permission. Weeks later I got this big box of video tapes in the mail along with the bill. My mom flipped the gently caress out and called Columbia House. She read them the riot act. "WHY DID YOU LET A KID SIGN UP FOR A SERVICE WITH A CONTRACT AND OBLIGATIONS?"

They canceled my membership but I got to keep the tapes. I think they're still at my parents house.

Great.

Dark Reign looks like it's gonna be hella badass, so get that one! RTS games just keep getting better and better. Although Warcraft Battle Chest looks like you get three games, so it's hard to not recommend that.

The first thing I ever ordered off of the internet back in the day was the Starcraft expansion Retribution, not realizing it wasn't made by Blizzard and was barely one step above being just a bunch of fan made levels.

Yeah, the Protoss specifically came to kill those two guys, the Zerg thing was just a cover.
