well its hard to know exactly how many pirated games I had, but who could afford to buy all games? well I for sure had about 1000 disks containing copied software of some sort, since I was a bit into the scene back them Ihad  quite alot and was main distributer in the city where I lived. Im not prood but I had fun and I do not regret anything.

Tho I allways bought the great games that I loved and I thought was worth the money, so I had about 150 original games and still got about 50 of them even this day in my stoorage (a few prized games I loved is on display in my computer room)

But as said over 1000 disks and mabe near 2k its hard to keep track of. But nowdays I can afford all software I want on all consoles and PC, to justify it im a collector of many old consoles and I have alot of original games for most consoles ever made :) I even buy all RPG titles that releases for PS3 even if they are good or not :)

Edit: As many here knows we had some pretty nice BBSes in gothenburg at that time :)

The problem is not if you had pirated games in the past, but why you had?

For example, in my country, even when Amiga was very popular, it was really rare to find an original game to buy, so the only option was a pirated copy.


For me it never was a money issue, it was more the scene and the way I lived back then, the comunity and the great scene parties and gatherings. Oh memories *a tear runs down my cheek*
