Man, I bet I'll regret replying to this thread... I had a great deal of pirated software. But, way back when, if I found original games for sale, I usually bought them. (Turrican, The Plague, Killing Game Show....SOTB 3... I even ordered Theatre of Death by phone directly from Psygnosis, 'cause I couldn't find it anywhere else....
)
So, why pirate? Well, I bought Worms CD32, it wouldn't work on any of my Amiga's. Darkseed only worked on my A1200T, and poorly at that.... Years ago, there was an Amiga game rental store, I rented Turrican3, enjoyed it.... sent it back, and found that I couldn't buy it anywhere... I tried calling the rental place, they were gone.... So, yeah, I pirated the game....
I really loathe the idea of spending $$$ on software that may or may not work. If it works, and I like it, I'll buy it... If I don't, I'll delete it from my HD (and yes, I really do delete it, I need the space
)
sigh.....
