"This is my collection, what do you all think?"Originally Posted by JohnD
Burned, so burned. I thought something was fishy, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt.
This is a clear violation of RPS forum rule #1. Not funny. Very uncool. Don't do it.
Rather than posting a list, I uploaded three pictures here. Still missing so many essential releases...

Great collection!
There was a big box version of Mark of Chaos? Why?!
Nice collection you've got there.
Like so many, I had to throw away many of my boxed copies as a youth for space reasons (those big boxes take up a lot of room!) including some treasures I now wish I'd kept (Baldur's Gate, Morrowind Collector's, etc.) However, I kept five, not for value but because I liked them: Torment, Longest Journey, Grim Fandango, Deus Ex, and Escape from Monkey Island (hey, I like the box art). Ended up being good choices!
The entire Marathon trilogy box set. Discarded six months ago in a moment of madness.
I currently have Lightspeed and the Wolfenstein 3D box that came with the hint book and Spear of Destiny.
I can't say I'd like to have all the old boxes of the games I used to have, but goddamned if I wouldn't kill to still have those old manuals.
I'm not much of a collector, but I do have a couple of my original old games still in their boxes which for some reason I can never seem to throw away.
Jet Set Willy (ZX Spectrum)
Alien, with the original exclusive graphic novel of the film (ZX Spectrum)
Asteroids cartridge for the Dragon 32
and a couple of ancient Oric games
In case anyone is interested here is the Alien box... I seem to remember that this was one of the very first games which seemed to take the box art and contents seriously...

Well... Actually, I got them bundled up in a physical anthology pack for cheap.
Edit: this thread reminds me of those X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter CDs I got collecting dust in my shelves. I think I'll give them a go.

Bah! My blog is fulla bollox! What? Don't believe me?Here! Just look at it!
I had quite a large collection for a long time, but like so many others I decided to chuck a lot out. I did keep some though.
- Kept my Star Wars big boxes (X-Wing etc, even a force commander!).
- Half-life series
- Tomb Raider
- Warcraft III collectors
- Starcraft collectors
- GTA 1
- Discworld the game
- UFO: Enemy Unknown

I already used one "Mother Of God" in this thread... what's higher than that? We could go halves... or thousands.

I have some SNES stuff down in the garage, and i started to play on PC with games like Descent I & II and Quake (but not on my PC, i didn't have one at the time). When i assembled my first PC, i started to play with this games, the boxes of which i conserve jealously:
Commandos
Grim Fandango
Myth 2
Ultima IX
Unreal Tournament
Thief & Thief 2
Total Annihillation
Tiberian Sun
awesome collection man. Really jealous of that Q3A LE box. All I've got is the worthless UT 3 tin box :P
Steam profile
PC Specs: I have a big e-peen
I love the eBay US 'Like/Want/Own' thing - 6 people 'own' one of those, apparently...

Part of the reason I made this thread is because I have an interest in learning about older games and how they were made back in the day. I've scoured Youtube for various videos and found a lot of decent ones, but have only just discovered these. I highly recommend watching them if you have an interest.
*shameless bump*

It's been a good month so far.

Here's my collection. Nothing impressive. Includes the very first big box game I bought (Heavy Gear 2) and the latest one (Thief 2). I have Arcanum on the way :)
The jewel case above PS:T and Alpha Centauri is Fallout 2.

for now, it's nothing much but I plan to get the Diablo battlechest, Thief II and Prey in there.
Edit: aww, heck. I forgot about Deus Ex
