Vintage PC games

[Perkkele]

Been trying to find the old classics like Doom 1 and 2, Quake and RTCW for Windows XP, but so far I haven't found it anywhere in Thailand, not even on Lazada. May I ask for advice? 

[Sure]

Download from https://www.gog.com/

Or look at DOSgamesarchive https://www.dosgamesarchive.com/

All the classics can be easily found online with a bit of searching.

Happy slaying! ????

Thanks for the input, but I'm the old fashion type, need to have the cover and any booklets etc for these games... So if it's possible to buy the original versions, new or second hand, I prefer that.

I suspect eBay is going to be your friend, I hope you have functioning floppy drives (3.5 and 5.25).

The interwebs got most of it covered if the guy makes a little effort. ????

I was wondering if our OP is actually a collector rather than a player.

 

I'm not sure if I ever had all the media gubbins even when these games were new.

As a collector of old radios back in Europe I can appreciate him wanting the original if thats his line. The original Doom and Quake wont be cheap.

Thanks guys, I downloaded Doom like Crossy recommended, and it worked fine. That's probably why I've been offline since yesterday, haha! 

Have to admit I'm a so-called collector, and I know the original (1st pressings) will set me back a few bucks, as all useless hobbies will for everyone. Anyway, as far as I found out I need to seek the old goldies outside Thailand, seems to be more like it's online gaming here, and that's not for me.
