What do you Guys Do with Old Games

I moved. In that process I dug up a ton of old games, some really old. 3.5" floppy disk old. I think I may have all the CIV games through Civ 5. Boxes, manuals, disks, the whole ball of wax. I still have, ugh, MOO3. And MOO2. Maybe MOO1. Now, many if not most of these I cannot play. I feel a little bad just trashing them. But I do not want to keep them either. I have WAY TOO MUCH STUFF. Any thoughts?

You've been a megadork for a very long time, perhaps you have some beloved classic games in original cases that people want to buy?

I dug and I do have all the Civs, from 1 thru 5. And Civ 1 has the box and all the documentation. It looks almost new. Four 3.5" floppies. You say someone's gonna want that? Civ 2 came on a CD, box is a little beat up. No box for Civ3 though.... books, no box... :(

Put all that in a box with some dehumidifying bags. It is like having antiques. Back up all that info just in case. Use DOSbox and DBGL to play.
