Ever thought you owned a game, and it turns out you don't have it?

I'm always misplacing games, sometimes I don't find them until years later. Often, when I can't find a game that I really want to play, I just buy another copy and eventually end up with a spare.

In my case, though, the answer wasn't that I'd lost my mind. :lol: . I DID own those games. Turns out it was a simple case of theft. Could be a possibility that might have happened to you as well?

This was my thought. I have never thought I had a game and found out it was my imagination. I did, though, have a thieving brother-in-law in the 80's who kifed on my NES Karnov and Arkanoid games. The Arkanoid I had bought brand new complete with original packaging and Vaus controller. I do have a copy of Arkanoid now with Vaus controller, but minus the box and inserts.

I've gotten to this point now, but I actually think I have a box or two of clamshells in my house that I've been unable to find in recent attempts. I know there are some SMS games I purchased but just can't locate now for some reason. It doesn't help that my office is only partially organized while I try and sort through other stuff. I don't even think about my Nintenodo stuff, it's just "somewhere" in boxes until I get the time to reorganize.
