I don't exactly collect them, but I treasure the ones I have. Got a couple safely tucked away in a box and the big boxes from Red Alert and Voyager Elite Force stand on top op my desk, the Elite Force one still in its plastic cover.
I still have all my SNES games with boxes manuals and all the other crap that came with them too. Now that I think about it, that's probably my largest collection now that I've lost my old PC games.Signa said:I have a ton from the N64, GBA, and PC sitting around somewhere. I know I've got both of the oblong boxes that was FF7 and Thief 2. I also have boxes of Freespace 1 and 2 and the expansion of FS1. There's a lot there, so I can't really list them all off without doing a lot of digging.
They are a prized possession of mine now. Especially now that those games are "classics" as well as the package being a thing of the past.
I forgot Voyager Elite Force existed. I remember going to buy it when it came out and there being no copies left because I think the store only ordered about two.GundamSentinel said:I don't exactly collect them, but I treasure the ones I have.

The only SNES box I still have is Final Fantasy III, and I have that because I bought it off of a friend when I was a kid. I don't ever remember buying a SNES game brand new, so there wasn't much to collect. I've got a fantastic collection of the games now, but I'm sorely lacking in boxes.porous_shield said:I still have all my SNES games with boxes manuals and all the other crap that came with them too.

I had the same predicament. A friend of mine had said it was a really fun game, but I couldn't find it anywhere. But I went to a used games store in Amsterdam one day and lo and behold: there it was. The previous owner had dumped an entire collection there a few weeks before and had been verrrry careful with it. All in their original boxes, in brand new state, still in plastic, but very carefully opened. All game discs were copied and added in the box with the originals. And ridiculously cheap.porous_shield said:I forgot Voyager Elite Force existed.

I hate those CD case boxes. They don't have anywhere near the appeal of those old huge boxes with thick manuals and all the other crap that used to come with. I bought Neverwinter Nights and Diablo II in the early 2000's they had nice boxes even if they were the small kind.The Madman said:Sure, tons of em. I have a shelf over my work desk where I keep a whole bunch of game boxes from the massive old PC ones to those lame modern CD cases. Nerdy as hell but it's neat to look at from time to time and fun to have around. Coincidentally I also still have the boxes for Simcity 3000 and Mechwarrior: Mercenaries, go figure.
I love Drakan and it's one of my favourite games. I played Tomb Raider too but flying around on a dragon in a fairly open world trumped Tomb Raider for me.exxxed said:Hehe, I guess you must be the other guy from the two people who played Drakan while all the cool kids played Tomb Raider, thanks for the pleasant reminder, fantastic game.
Come to think of it, I can't recall the last time I've seen one of those big cardboard boxes, hm, the oldest one that I still keep around is Unreal 2 (loved that box for some reason), had to make room for the collector's edition of my favorite franchises, The Witcher 2's being a mammoth compared to the other ones.
Take care!
