I'd find it tough too, unless I was moving. I had to throw out a lot of stuff like this before I moved. :(

I have two of those on my shelf. I never got a manual with SP3 because I got it in one of those CD compilations with SP1 and SP2, along with some mission disks and a manuals disk.

Save them. They take up little space. Or, failing that, list them on eBay for a buck each so someone else can enjoy them.

Mail them to BC for his next "Mystery Unboxing"

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

I think I have the SP1 and SP2 disks down cellar somewhere along with campaign disk. heck, I think I have Red Baron and Aces of Pacific/over Europe Floppys somewhere.

When I got my copy of Red Baron it came with floppies for the 16 cooler version. I was able to send them back in exchange for the 256 color ones that had just been released as an upgrade and also became standard on future box releases.

I think I might still have that Civ II one.

I still regard the Jules Verne scenario from CIV II: Fantastic Worlds as one of my all-time favorite scenarios.

Somewhere, somehow, I woke up in the wrong timeline. I'm pretty sure this isn't even my dimension.

- I think i have a FALCON 3.0 copy and an expansion in the basement.  Never fully understood how to play it.

The documentation alone for Falcon 3.0 was almost as impressive as the flight manual for F-16 flight training, I think.

It certainly caused its fair share of deforestation.

Man - I remember calling my dad and telling him about this amazing, totally immersive game called European Air War and I absolutely loved Steel Panthers III

The guy who does my Pest Control had a nephew who was studying Data Processing and he bought all my old Amiga games in their original boxes. The Gold Box series, Might & Magic, Battles of Napoleon, and Kampgruppe. I still feel like I sold-out all my Old and Dear Friends.  :'(
