Alot!

I did buy the odd gem here and there  but  mostly i got copies. It was just to easy & readily available.
Back in the very early 90's,  everyone  local  to me bought the Amiga  not just because it was an Awesome machine,  but also as they could  get the games for nothing,  minus  the price of the blank floppies and postage costs.

While it may have played a small part in the Amiga's downfall,  easy access  to pirated  software  help shift quite a percentage of Amiga's to.

Going back  further though, my C64 , well i bought every single  game, i really cant remember any pirate  software there. I also buy  90+ % of my PC games  to, which is only a few  a year though.

Looking back, i wish i did buy more games,  but i was young,  broke and it was just easy.
