Copies are the way to go for playing, and I usually let other people do the
copying.  Finding good original games at a garage sale, thrift store, flea
market, etc. is a rarity for me (especially since I don't go often anymore).
However, I've found hundreds of copies or loose originals at these places.
People often sell disk cases full of them for a few bucks.  They don't have
much value to the collector but are great for playing.

Now here's a question.  If you own the 20-year-old original, is buying
20-year-old copies (likely pirated 20 years ago) still pirating? :-)

I've been thinking about this... and wouldn't it be safer to play off backup
copies?  I mean, the disk could get munched in the drive, the label could
get scratched going in and out... or is that attitude too anal for the rest
of this group?  B-)
