Sold my Amiga 1200 a little while ago

I had Cannon Fodder , prioject X etc

epic fun

I have Tomb Raider 1 complete in its box, and I have a Total Annihilation box but the cd is missing.

I have some more in the attic iirc.

I remember a year or two ago , I threw out all my "big Boxes" as they just took up so much room!
kept all the manuals though

I got about 650 games dating back to when I was a kid to now
Some of the ones off the top of my head I got with the Big Boxes I have are

Battledrome
The Settlers
Legends Of Valour
Battlezone
Earthsiege
Freespace
Genewars

and tonnes more I am playing a lot of classics atm and having great fun
just finish Battlezone again which is a great classic =]
Gonna do Genewars next

I have freespace 1 & 2 as well

Started a little collection a few years back but I haven't really added to it in a while:



Found these for 50p each the other day too:

Has anyone here tried Metal Gear Solid on the PC and if so, did it work all right?

I cant speak for MGS 1 (im guessing you mean Metal Gear Solid the old PS1 game and not the original Metal Gear for the Snes was it?) but I have MGS 2 Sons of Liberty and that works fine on Vista after a minor mod to change a line in a config file found on google.

As for MGS1, Im sure someone has got it working on Win7 etc. It may even work without the need for mods? Try searching youtube for videos of MGS1 gameplay on PC, maybe the poster details what spec their machine is and how to get it working.

Not sure if its a DOS or Windows supported game.

Yep I bought that on release MS published on PC its on 2 CD's you may need to use a 3DFX wrapper & or use less CPU cores but it should still work now. MGS2 also came on PC on a single DVD both games look better than the console version on Playstation BTW

Heres my little lot of gems well not all of them theres another 60 or so about but heres the main lot been getting out of the loft to play had to move my shirts






And yes I have more then one copy of a few like C&C and BZ gained a few more when my brother when he left the country

Some great collections, really didn't realise how much I missed proper big game boxes and of course manuals that were a lot more than a bloody epilepsy warning .

I threw away my collection of boxes. I had GP2, Red Alert, MTV skateboarding and Driver (which I thought was the best game evaaar for years) from our first computer in the midlate 90s. I had the manuals still about a year ago but now they've gone too I think.

I've got a fully boxed version of mech warrior 4. The manual was brilliant and it was great fun reading about the different mechs.

I wish they would start making proper manuals again.

Got Metal Gear working and amazingly it works fine with the XBox 360 controller right off the bat. The only bad thing is the resolution, it's at 1024 x 768 but somehow fits to widescreen but there's a black bar at the bottom of the screen. Still, can't wait to play it later today!
