Greetings! I was so excited to find this community on the web. I've been an amateur video game collector for a few years now - well, all my life really, but only now seriously. I was the kid who never threw the boxes away, etc.

Anyway, since gaming started with the whole collector's edition craze, I was right there buying them. Initially it was because they generally came with a soundtrack or making of DVD, but I've amassed so many of these things that's it's getting serious. Fortunately, I have a very understanding wife. I also have some non-collector's edition vintage PC games.

I'll try and get some photos together, but for now (I'm at work) I'll just list some highlights of my collection. Note - I've always been a "remove the shrinkwrap" sort of collector. All of my games are used, but I do try to keep the boxes etc in good condition:

PC Games:
Ultima 9 Dragon Edition
Warcraft 3 CE
World of Warcraft - I have all four WoW CE's complete
Diablo 2 CE
Final Fantasy 14 CE
Baldur's Gate 2 CE
Rift CE
The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind CE
The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion CE
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim CE
The Old Republic CE - Love the statue with this one
StarCraft 2 CE
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning CE
Everquest 2 CE
Everquest 2 Sentinal's Fate CE
Fear: Director's Cut
Pirates! CE
Quake 3 Arena (Metal Case)
Quake 3 Arena for Linux (Metal Case)
Return to Castle Wolfenstein (Metal Case)
Civilization 3 CE
The Witcher 2 CE
Star Wars Galaxies CE
Tabula Rasa CE
Guild Wars CE
Battlefield 3 Limited Edition

XBox 360
Gears of War 2 CE
Gears of War 3 CE
Dead Space 2 CE
Fable 3 CE
Rage Limited Edition

I have others which just are not coming to me right now.

About me personally: I'm a graphic designer who works for a marketing company in my hometown. I'm an active costumer, and am a member of the 501st Legion (Carolina Garrison).

Yeah gotta represent the PC Game crowd. I've always been a pc gamer at heart.

Welcome to the crowd! Don't worry, you will get this smiley only once.
I'm looking forward to some pics, especially because you are a PC collector.

[Wheeks]

Woo always good to see PC collections. I collect PC exclusively, though I haven't actually posted my own collection.

Looking forward to seeing the pics! The complete WoW set is cool - I only have the original and cataclysm, since I stopped playing before WotLK came out.

I am totally with you on removing the shrink wrap!

Photo Update 1
Here's the first of many photo updates. I tried to pick a few things you don't see very often. Enjoy!

Morrowind CE:



Final Fantasy:



Ultima Online: Lord Blackthorn's Revenge






Everquest 2, EQ2 Sentinal's Fate, EQ2 Deserts of Flame:


One thing worth mentioning about this picture is the CD in the sleeve is the pre-order character builder cd that I put in the box. Also, some of the documentation there is from the pre-order box. Also in the docs is every postcard I received from Sony with free-weekend offers etc. My EQ2 Collection is quite complete :-)

World of Warcraft:



Diablo 2:



Baldur's Gate 2:







Ultima 9: Dragon Edition



EDIT: you can find high res versions of all my photos at my wife:s flickr account.
