No new postsYour adventure games collection - with pictures
I saw what you did there Zobraks, you rascal. *wink*
My collection in boxes would take at least eleven (doing quick calculating in my head) of her bookcases to display. I dream of the day of having enough wallspace to display all my games properly. As it is I have the jewel cases of my favorites lined up double deep filling one bookcase about that size with the rest in cartons along with their boxes carefully flattened. Some very rare ones are still unopened along with opened duplicates and odly or special shaped ones are carefully put away.
It would take a long time just to put them all back together in their proper boxes but I look forward to doing it someday when I retire.
So you see what can happen if you’re badly bitten by the game collecting bug and are at it long enough. 
I’d take a picture of my collection but it got seriously jumbled up when I moved out of my parent’s house.
Now they’re just a few stacks of CDs amongst stacks of music CDs. I haven’t looked in there for ages (except to take a few titles out that I wanted to replay).
Sadly, I got rid of the boxes, and even though I used to keep the flattened covers of the boxes, I think they got lost in the move as well.
Not that the collection would be that impressive: I never bought any games before the CD-ROM era (too young), and there’s also a lot of non-adventure games in there.
Seeing Fien and Pollo’s collections makes me drool… 
Nowadays, a few of my older PC-games are in a shelf of the desk where my PC is (the ones I put on my list of games to (re-)play). All of my DS-games are in a shelf in the bedroom (except for the one or two titles that I’m playing), and the rest are digital downloads.
The only collection I put on display at home is my DVD-collection…

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

Hehe, I knew I couldn’t fool you, Dara.

Hey, you don’t like my Stina’s collection?

Now you’ve all done it! I want to go home and open my special cartons to see:
Cosmology of Kyoto in it’s lovely red box
The doubly rare Alice: An Interactive Museum in the original shrink wrap which I won on eBay and was delighted to see was shipped from the original distributor! (my SO threw out the shipping box before I could save the label, grr), and the other two copies in opened boxes.
Pilgrim in the special red box
the “theater” box of GK 1 and 2 - or was it Phantasmagoria 1 and 2, I forget
Gk1 trapezoid box
The first edition of Riven with it’s journal that I didn’t want to write in so it’s stuffed with all my notes
Myst Exile with it’s so cute pewter squee
Three Myst books, a fan-made Myst cloth that looks exactly like the ones in the Uru game
The unopened european editions of the Myst games with different contents from the US versions
The cd of the first disk of Buried In Time, signed by all the developers I sent away for because I had one of the first hundred games.
All the tins of games or boxes with cloth maps (I’m a sucker for them) even from action and role playing games like Ultima
Countless other things I’ve since forgotten. It will be like Christmas!
i’m quite a new collector so it’s still pretty small a collection.

My collection is nowhere near as awesome as Fien’s.
I don’t know what you’re talking about, you have a very impressive collection as well! Almost as impressive as Stina’s!

My stash:
I got these pictures from the old forum. My collection has grown a bit since.
My modest collection.
My latest acquisitions, from two sellers. Total price paid, including all shipping etc, less than 100 euro. I think I did pretty well 
Madre de Dios, es el Pollo Diablo!
I remember back in the day, boxart was what got me interested in a game. They were so creative most of the time. Now they follow the same style across most/all games. Only way you would be interested in a game is either by ‘name’ or understanding of it through the internet. lol
