Show off your loot!

[lobski]

Hi, I'm new.

I'm more of a casual-adventure gamer, bit I love the classics. I favourite adventure game of all time is probably The Dig, and I also love the soundtrack. Recently I became a proud owner of the original box of The Dig! :7

She's a beauty.

I also have Dreamfall Collector's Edition shrinkwrapped, I think I'll keep it like that for a few more years ;)

Let's see what you guys have?

[stepurhan]

Welcome to the forums lobski.

That is nice. I did get a copy of Starship Titanic (courtesy of Sage on these very forums) not that long back. Properly boxed. Don't have a picture though.

[ShadeJackrabbit]

I have (or had, since I can't it) the box for LOOM. I also had the Secret of Monkey Island Box, but I gave it to a friend when I got the CD version. I also have the boxed version of Obsidian, the original release of Riven (unfortunately, we lost the cool cd-jackets the game came in) and the original release of Exile, though we don't have the boxes any more. I also have a package which I got the Journeyman Project Trilogy in (I don't know what else to call it).

No pictures right now, but if you want, I can go take pictures of my Adventure Game collection. (I don't call myself a Treasure Hunter for no reason.)

My precious LucasArts games!

Foaming at the mouth.

[usman]

I have built up some good collection as well. (No pictures as yet)

Dracula's Secret (Sealed Boxed)
Casandra Gallries
Day of the Tentacles (Boxed)
Gabrial Knight Mystries (Boxed)
Final Fantasy VII (Boxed both Platinum & Original Release)
Black Dhalia (Boxed)

Many others boxed I think over 3 dozen games :)

is it just me or does that price tag say 74.99?:crazy:


by the way, that collection of lucas arts games is AWESOME.

[Gonchi]

I love show off threads. I've been meaning to take pics of my collection for ages, but I never get around to it. I don't have any extremely rare games or anything, but I'm satisfied with the games I've amassed so far. There's a list of most of my collection at MobyGames (http://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,33322/) (view have/want lists).

Yes, that was the price when it first came out :)

[Kazmajik]

I'd have to get out my pith helmet and torch, but I've got some of the original Infocom text adventure game boxes stored away. Man, those guys knew how to package! All kinds of goodies packed in with the 5 1/4" floppies.
More recent are Gabriel Knight: Mysteries, Phantasmagoria: Stagefright, Roberta Williams Anthology.
A few years ago I got this great package from LucasArts, with Monkey Island 1 & 2, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Day of the Tentacle, and Sam n Max Hit the Road, all in this neat aluminum zip case. No pics yet, but maybe I'll get that together.
I'm jealous of the original boxed LucasArts collection as well.

[Erwin_Br]

More pictures. I'm quite attached to these as well:

[MrMike]

I forgot how the Fallout 1 box was more like a rectangle than other boxes of the era. Erwin, what is the box underneath the Discworld game?

The recent Games For Windows magazine has a nice article devoted to the history of game boxes. They show off some of the boxes that were posted in this thread. I recommend you all check it out.

[misslilo]

Erwin, what is the box underneath the Discworld game?

I belive it to be Discworld Noir.
I have that one myself :D - sadly I couldn't get it to run on my Vista machine.

As for the Sierra and LucasArts games.. I used to have the boxed versions too, but years of moving around made the boxes disappear - the games I do have still though.

[Erwin_Br]

Noir, indeed.

The "LSL Ultimate Pleasure Pack" I stumbled upon at a small dusty PC store near Columbia Uni in Manhattan for only $39.99! A few months later I saw it go for $80 on Ebay.

[Gazzoid]

Boy, i want your LucasArts collection. :9~ :D Judging by those screenies, you've looked after them all very well. I never even realized Grim Fandango and Escape from Monkey Island were released in big boxes. I just thought they came out in a dvd case (esp. the latter). I'd love to have all the LucasArts adventures in big boxes, but because i have the best ones already in dvd/jewel cases there's very little point. That, and i just can't find some of 'em because they're so rare to get.

I only have three of those from your collection: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (won that on ebay in my very first auction; doubt i'll ever win anything again :shifty: ), Discworld and Discworld 2 (which is the Argentum Collection version). My copies are a bit scuffed and creased though. ;( Would've got The Neverhood in the big box but i think it was pretty damn pricey. Bad enough paying 40 quid for the game just in a jewel case.

[BenjaminBunny]

yeah, Neverhood is expensive, man. :frown:

[Matan]

Here is the first part of my collection - these are the games I keep in my apartment...

[TiAgUh]

1489

Also Betrayal In Antara, Silver and Tachyon: The Fringe ..but i cant find them :crazy:

If you mean serious collecting, the answer is no: go for the original versions. Cheap reprints like those by Kixx or Dice make most collectors puke. Though there are some brand collectors who like to have all versions (foreign versions and cheap reprints). I guess a few pounds is the right price for Kixx's versions.

These I bought in a local gamestore, as you can see they are in very bad condition. At least they sold them to me for a cheap price. :frusty:

Kerplonk.

[nikolas]

And the winner is Kerplonk! By far!

Can't show too much, but I'm wondering what kind of wife would let computer game boxes hanging on the wall!?!?!? I know my wouldn't! She barely allows my monitors and keyboard and stuff! :D

[ggreen737]

Cool thread. Here's my small collection. May not be much but I am playing on sweet new monster monitor (pack of gum on the monitor for comparison, wrigleys doublemint if you must know). So hard to keep Max away from the Sailor Jerry's, heehe. Me and my sad, boxless classics (the dig and bladerunner)

[Matan]

Here is the rest of what I have.

I used to have many more boxed games (including Neverhood, The Quest for Glory anthology, Space Quest collection, original Space Quest 2 and a few more) but about 8 years ago I decided to clean up some space on my shelf and for some reason threw the boxes out :(

[Rjupiter]

Its interesting to see all the games. I just recently dumped not only all my games packaging, even 360, but DVD and so on. All I keep was the disks. Don't know how you all keep all those boxes around.

[Dara100]

It pains me to hear of folks dumping their boxes, although I completely understand why. My solution was to carefully open and flatten them, saving the plastic wrap, so they could be contained in fewer packing boxes. There are eight large boxes in a closet - I've been an adventure game collector for a long time.

[Gazzoid]

Here's my amateur big-box collection: :D

It's not much, but i'm proud of my collection so far. I'm sure there will be plenty more in the future.

Still got a lot of adventure games left to buy.

I don't know maybe its just me but I don't see the point. I find that kind of clutter oppressive and a waste. Guess I am not much of a collector if only in the digital sense these days.

[VoodooFX]

Good thing Erwin posted his LEC adventure collection, so I don't have to go through all that trouble.

Once I get my own apartment, I'll collect all my games (150+), which are now scatterd across two apartments and three warderobe closets, in one place and provide a picture or hundred then. :)

[Erwin_Br]

I took some more pictures today:

Look! Duckman! :P

[Avasi]

Like the title of this thread! xD
Great collection/pics everyone!!...If I say that I wouldn’t be jealous then I would be lying. :p

I might or I should be able to send a picture too. It may be today, or maybe in a few days from now; can’t say for sure. I will see what I am able to find...I used to have many of my original packages, however, having been traveling and changing living locations etc; made it hard to always keep and bring everything with me.

[Gazzoid]

Even managed to squeeze in Brian there Erwin lol. Didn't realize he was rare. :P Is Down in the Dumps exactly what i think it's about?
