Where to buy old games?

After reading some threads here, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get some old(er) games new (if possible). I've already seen them used, and if it's the only way, that's fine, but if I could find sealed older games from someplace that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Just wanted to add that if you're planning on getting Myth:TFL and Myth 2 to get the community patches for them. They basically make them compatible with XP as well as some other good stuff (you can change resolution actually).

Nice, yea, I sent myself the wiki link which has alot of good info. I remember playing this game, and loving it, but I have no idea where it went. Plus it looks like there are a couple online servers still running.
Thanks again!

I've had good luck picking up used and new games from Amazon "used" sellers.

Amazon will protect you if anything goes wrong, but this hasn't happened to me yet.

There's actually a site with all the patches on mods on it here. From what I understand the patches were made after Bungie released info to the fan community (i dunno if it was the source code or what.). Anyway I've used the patches for Myth 1 and 2 in XP and beat them both (2 of my favorite games ever heh), they both worked perfectly for me, had no crashes or errors or anything.

I've got a brand new and sealed copy of MythII Worlds that I can part with. PM me if you want it.

How old is "old"? Sometimes gogamer will list some oldies in their 48-hour sales. I suppose they sell these same oldies all year 'round, depending on stock and supplier shipments.

Within the last several years, I bought several oldies from them:

Fallout 1 & 2 dual-jewel-pack <$5 (I had played #2, but not #1)
currently the Fallout Collection (1 & 2 & Tactics) is available at $20 everyday price

Planescape: Torment & Soulbringer dual-jewel-pack <$5 (for sale elsewhere now)

Arcanum (import version) was on sale last week (I already own it)
and is still available at $18 everyday price

others:
X3: Reunion
The Bard's Tale
Fable: The Lost Chapters

So you CAN still buy some of the classics (or at least some of the oldies that didn't suck) as new. Keeping looking for jewel case and "collection" re-issued distributions. The manuals will be on the CD/DVD, but most of the current manuals only add backstory and "flavor" to the game plot experience, so a pdf manual is acceptable.
