Re: ?????

you mean a new disc 1? lol...that would work i guess. would game stores sell used copies of just one of the discs? because the other discs work fine.

Re: ?????

Yes, I agree with Zerlina. It sounds like a dodgy disc to me too. You could try cleaning it or just get a new one. My Civilization 2 disc did that a while ago. I carefully cleaned it under plain running water with a very soft cloth, then wiped it, again very carefully, with a dry very soft cloth. Its run fine ever since. May be worth trying because if the disc is stuffed, it certainly can't make it any worse .

(oh, Zeromus_X, could you please censor the last word out of your sig. The occasional mild swear word may survive in a post, but not in a sig or user name because it appears in every post you make. Thanks )

If you've had a game for a long time, it's bound to get some scratches and stuff eventually unless you are extremely careful all the time

But on the other hand, we've had our copy of FFVII (mine and Xartex, we're brothers, although he kept it since I moved out) since it was released here almost 8 years ago, and the game still works somehow.. well, besides the ending FMV I think

About half of our PSX games are second hand. The Civ 2 game (along with all our FF games) was one of them and when you buy second hand, you buy as is. We are careful with our discs and unless they are in the machine, are never out of their case.

Well, yes, leaving a disc out of its case is a big no-no for me, and in my family. Still, some of the oldest PSX games may have a few minor scratches, but nothing that hinders game play.. FFIX is the only game that broke down as far as I can remember.

In any case, CD technology in general is pretty delicate, and it's actually amazing (or terrible I guess) how noone has figured out a way to make a medium that can take some rough handling (that isn't too expensive either I guess). Maybe they figure it's not worth it, but it leads to problems when a game, album or the like becomes near impossible to find in stores due to how old it is..
