Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r), CCL, LTh, DD, LNDC Dear John: An old video game probably is worthless. There may not be any machines anymore that will even launch it. In any event, before you sell it or trash it, you need to make an honest attempt to locate the owner and ask what he wants done with it. If you make an honest effort and cannot locate him, then do with it what you will. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary Footer Notes: This forum is for general questions on the faith.

Dear John:
