Well. I DO own Dracula X, I'll take a picture of it if you'd like.
By Rigors of Play I mean this:
My copy of DracX is is like BRAND NEW...and I want it to stay that way.
Using a game, even by protecting it and being very careful, it's still very possible to get light scratches on it.
This coupled by the fact that I still have the original cellophane/spine card, which is slowly deteriorating, and would split open if I constantly was removing the case (and even MORE so when I put the case back in the celo). Could I just leave it in the cellophane?? NO I want to play it. By playing a CD-R I can leave it on the shelve, nice, pretty and new.
I use back-ups to play for all of my games.
"Who's going to copy something they already have?"
Someone who wishes to keep what they have nice.
