Default Big Box PC Game Collecting

Any collectors of old PC games in the house?

I have my fair share of collector's edition packages, but the great thing about the old PC games is they came with most of the great feelies and goodies that we pay extra for now. Especially with the Ultima series which was chock-full of maps, trinkets, and other goodies.

One of the reasons I like collector's edition releases so much is because they remind me of the old days of pc game buying. There was nothing quite opening that box and rifling through all the stuff packed in.

Love em! I have quite a few in my collection. My favourite is probably the Baldur's Gate 2 CE:
















When I was younger I had a lot of these first hand. I remember throwing them all out (shelves upon shelves...) thinking I wouldn't need them again. It's taken me ages to source most of these.

What I like best is the art, the size, and the things that are largely functional. Guides, maps, instructions and so on. It's all great for the game. There's too much gimmicky crap these days. I also love backing Kickstarters with big boxes, this is basically the only way to get them for new games these days.

If only I could find boxes for all the games I had played back then. But most people charge stupid amounts for them :/

Someone is/was selling it on this forum just recently, I'll see if I can dig up which thread it was!

Here's a FAIRLY recent pic of one of my big box shelves. I have gotten a few pieces since then, most notably Forge of Virtue and Savage Empire.
