Question
Hi! I recently came across a really custy box in my basement full of old (and unfortunately empty) cases and boxes of my favorite PC games when I was younger (around the mid to late 90s I would say). They just brought back so many memories- and I decided I want to look for them again- just for the fun of it. I'm talking about games like Putt-Putt (the purple car), Pajama Sam, Fattie Bear, and Freddi Fish (which you may or may not know). Do you have any stores or as a last resort- places online (I know of Ebay and Amazon and websites such as those, but I am very uncomfortable with making payments online) that may still carry these? Thanks a ton!

Answer
You're going to have a very difficult time finding those games in a retail store, and I don't know of any in particular that carry older PC titles.  There may be a local store in your area that does, but I doubt it.  Honestly your best bet would be amazon and ebay, they might be the only way to find them.  I understand not being comfortable with using a credit card online, but both those sites use very secure encryption and they keep your information very safe.  I use amazon on almost a weekly basis and I've never had any issues.  I think the internet is going to be the only plausible way to find those games.
