You can still buy old games online. 3D Realms is a perfect example of this. They're still selling their 1990-1996 DOS games for about $15-30. ID Software still sells the DOS version of Quake for about $40!
And Ingo, I see you have a new favourite game and therefore a new favourite movie. What is the reasoning? Why the change?

The only reason I made Episode III my favorite at the time was because it was a prequel like SFA3. But SFA3's final boss (Super Bison) is ridiculously difficult and frustrating. Even worse, in some versions if you lose to him, you can't continue. I got extremely angry trying to beat him without losing, then I thought "To hell with it. Bison's just an over-the-top asswipe." So I ditched SFA3 and made DOOM my favorite game of all time, because I know that game, and it's nowhere near as frustrating as SFA3. I can speed through and beat that game on its easiest difficulty, and that's what I want in a game. And with 5 difficulty levels, I can always come back for a challenge. But my favorite is the ORIGINAL version of DOOM, because Ultimate's fourth episode does not fit in with the other three. It doesn't have a world map like is MUCH harder compared to the other episodes. So I'm trying to preserve the original version because that 3-episode game is truly my favorite.
So Star Wars became my true favorite movie, because 1. It's the original like DOOM, and 2. It's to me the only one out of the six that had no offensive parts in it. And its the OOT version, like DOOM, because even though I don't mind the SE, I still think the modelwork is fascinating.
EDIT: There's another reason why I don't like Ultimate DOOM. The original DOOM worked well as a standalone game, even though it was sort of a cliffhanger. Ultimate's Episode 4 was created basically to tie in the first game with DOOM II. So now it's sort of a prequel to the second game. I reject this because I like the original DOOM to be a standalone game. Same with ANH.
