"Unemployed since May 25 2004 and every penny is precious.
I CAN'T just buy something on the off-chance that I might be able to adapt it.
I have dozens of old game to use for that."

If money is that tight, you shouldn't be buying any games.

Either way, saying that cini-uni is delaying classic games is a strange thing to say for someone who has no money. You have a lot of catching up to do with AFMBE, Witchcraft, Armageddon and Con-X (and all the suppliments). Given you financial condition you could spend years or more collecting all those books. Instead of focusing on books you don't want, you could focus on the books you do.
