Default Buying old PC games

Anyone have an idea of where I could get some older PC games? One of the ones that I'm interested in the most are NHL94/95. I used to have these games but over the years I lost the disc or damaged them too much.

I've been looking for them on ebay, but they only have the genesis and snes versions available. I'm specifically looking for the PC version.

There are a few other games that I'd like to purchase again, not that I can remember what they are at this time, but any help on where to find older games like this would be appreciated. Thank you

would they even run on a system with XP (assuming that's what you have)?

Even if they aren't compatible with XP (which I assume they would be), games that old were playable through DOS, weren't they?

Yeah, I think that I played these games using the dos based system.

I have a program that I downloaded onto my computer called I think DOSBOX, which simulates the dos environment and lets you play the games. I have a few older ones that I still saved that I was able to play using it and it worked out pretty well.

and yes, I am using XP on my current setup.

I played NBA Live '95 on a PC in DOS. Lost in 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Go look at EB Games, they usually have a pretty good used/old pc game selection.
