Ever find a game you don't remember buying?

Postby shootingstar » November 11th, 2015, 3:54 pm

I noticed that I own a copy of Robocop 3 for SNES yesterday.... I was so confused, I swear I don't remember ever buying it. It's odd because I usually remember every single game I've ever bought. It seems so odd that I would buy it, but I guess I did.

Anyone else ever have this feeling?

Yeah, I found Oddworld for the PS1 the other day on my shelf. I don't remember ever buying and I've never played it. Must be the video game fairy dropping off gifts for us.

I do that all the time with games, comics, and action figures. I have had to start documenting my games and comics now, and carrying around a list as there is no way I can remember everything. I probably need to do the same for my figures, but I havent picked anything toy related up in a while.

Yeah, I have a PDF document saved to my phone that has a list of my game collection. I kept buying games that I already owned...

When I first opened up my box of stored NES and SNES games several years ago, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I owned CIB Super Tecmo Bowl and ActRaiser, which I actually didn't remember buying. I must have bought them from bargain bins in the mid 90s.
