Scarwing	I have these game dics that i've kept in a big pouch for Aeons, and i decide to want to play one, and most of them cannot intall or be played in my PS1 or Sega Saturn, i look on the disc and it looks like it has some nobbles or a weird misbuff around its edges allowing the disc to be not read, so i try to clean it and the thing is still there... what type of damage could do that? and it looks like melted plastic on it, either the plastic sleeving adorned to the disc, or this is gremlins in my basement doing things again, but gremlins are evil!

SinKing bumps me thread	I believe you have a case of DVD-rot there. Happened to a friend of mine, who has a gigantic DVD-movie collection. It's very annoying and means that impurities found their way onto the CD during production. I think you don't get any substitution from the manucaturers, which is especially annoying, if you bought special edition DVD's, which then start to rot away. Happens to one DVD in about 1000, I think... Edited by: SinKing

Scarwing	Well, if its one dvd out of 1000, then well ummm... about 70% of the games that were in there had that happen... so i have some piss poor luck lol

ambershee Nimbusfish Rawks	I've had a (very) large number of original Playstation 1 games suffer this. It's unfortunate, but unavoidable.

TheHappyFriar :)	depends on how they're stored. I forget how you're supposed to store them to avoid this happening, but it's especially nasty with DVD's due to the way they're made. I've never had it happen with anything I own, I still have CD-R's from 1999 & a CD or two from when they first came out. -- Go play some Quake 2: q2server.fuzzylogicinc.com It's like Source v0.9, only... better!
