You actually can possibly make a couple hundred bucks off a machine running MS-DOS. So while games are 100% disposable (just like baseball cards if one doesn't care about the collectible aspect of them), you may want to hold on to some of those older games you have...although, no, old sports games are not worth much of anything, usually.
