(Not sure if this should be here or in Brewster's Cafe) This has happened to me recently. Over the summer, I went to play Pokemon: Conquest, and I had done a lot of the side quests you get after completing the main story. I couldn't find it, and got upset, but still wanted to play the game. So I went up to gamestop and buy a second used copy, and begin playing. The next day, I find the old cartridge hiding in with all of my old pokemon figures. I got really mad, because I bought the new copy, but also excited, because I found all of my old save data!
Ever Lost a Game, Bought a New Copy, and then Found the Old One?

80s anime is cool
That happened a lot with my Gamecube games.
Most specifically Scooby Doo Nights of 100 Frights, Smash Melee, Pikmin 1, & maybe Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.

I'm a mix of both the no options
Other than the one game I mentioned in this thread, I am as well. I couldn't believe I lost it! I am usually super organized.
Me too friend. As said before, This is the only game I've ever lost and I got really mad at myself and make absolute sure to put my games back in my game cartridge case now XD

I bought New Leaf when it came out and played it all summer and lost it around September of last year.
I waited a year, decided it was gone forever and bought another New Leaf copy. Just a few weeks after buying the new copy, my boyfriend found my old copy and I was sooooo maaaaad.
The game was stuck in the bottom of my weird DS carrying case that I checked in A THOUSAND times when I lost it. I was happy he found it, but so angry I never found it sooner. It had been over a year.

When I went to play Majora's Mask for the first time, I asked my brother where it was and he couldn't find it, so I wound up ordering it from Amazon. He found it a couple months after I beat the game, so now I have two copies.

I almost lost my Pokemon Black once, and I was so sad because that was my main game fore Gen V and it contained my Gen V Event collection. I did not really plan to get another copy though since a friend of mine gave me his since he wasn't using it anymore before I supposedly lost mine. I did eventually found it the next day though. I was so reliefed.

Always happens with me with the physical disks
This describes exactly what I've done with so many games. Mario kart for 3ds, The Sims 3, Left 4 Dead, Animal Crossing, and god the list goes on. I am not wise with money. I used to get so many at myself, but considering it happens so much now I don't even care.

Almost! I lost my game of Pokemon Platinum and was about to go buy a new one, but right when I was about to leave, I found it right on one of my TV speakers.

I lost my first copy of Left 4 Dead 2. I re-bought it, then it turned out it was in my brothers room.
Smashed.
Scratches and chips everywhere.
So I was lucky I bought a new copy in the end.

No, I've put way too many hours into my games to get careless with them. If a game's not in the console, it's in a case, or on the shelf in it's proper place.
A friend of mine lost one of her Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, bought a replacement cartridge, then found her original game in her closet less than a week later.

I actually have a sorta bizarre one.
So as a kid, I got a GameBoy Colour, Wario Land 3, and Ms. Pac Man. After a few months Wario Land 3 went missing and I was quick to blame one of my cousins as they'd taken things before.
Now this was... about 15 years ago or so.
I bought a copy of Wario Land 3 a few years ago on a whim because I loved it as a kid. It surprisingly aged pretty well for an old game. Beat it, loved it, fantastic game.
Now a few months ago I was moving into my first apartment. While going through some old stuff in the garage, I found my old copy of Wario Land 3, lost a decade and a half before. It was in a bucket of lego. Via the miracle of old gameboy backup devices I transferred my save from my newer copy to it, and sold the newer copy.

Sadly can't say I've ever done this. Most of my games I keep dear to me so I would keep them on shelves, specific bags for GC stuff and the like.
Though I've definitely or more than likely lost a game or two, but never really bought it again probably due to my ocd of finishing games from start to end in a sitting or two. *thank god i've never played skyrim*
