without quake 3 there probably won't be so many mutiplayer shooters now!

Got rid of mine a while back, space hogs and dust magnets.....

Just kept the 2 which i thought should be saved for posterity...both in mint condition.

System Shock 2
FreeSpace 2

I really miss the old box artwork and manuals from ye olde days of PC gaming

I think we got rid of most of our boxes a few years back (hundreds of them), although we kept our favourites including

Not to mention Baldurs Gate, System Shock 1 and 2, Starcraft and Warcraft 2 and a few others

Just had a quick look to see what I've got left...looks like the folks have thrown most of them away!

Still got two of my all time favourites; Age of Empires II and C&C Tiberian Sun! Amazing games.

Put them in the bin

If I remember, next time I go to see my Dad, I will take some photos of some really old computer games.

Gauntlet, After Burner, Batman etc on the CPC464.

Still have a poster for quake I got from the game shop I worked in.

Ravenger · 3 Jan 2011 at 15:00

I've still got my copy of System Shock 2 in its cellophane wrapping, so it's in mint condition. I'll never sell that, along with my big box copies of Thief and Thief 2. Also keeping my copies of Crusader: No Remorse and No Regret.

I have sold a lot of other big box games recently on ebay though. They don't go for much though, unless they're true collectors items. I'm not sure what to do about some of them which I don't think will sell. I'm loathed just to throw them out.

I have a mint condition floppy disc version of Theme Park

Walsandrew · 3 Jan 2011 at 15:08

A big bonfire would be the best place for them.......

Having all your games in something like Steam without all the big stupid space wasting boxes is the way forward

Put you in the bin tbh. :mad:

MoNkEyMiKeY · 3 Jan 2011 at 15:29

Also have a copy of half-life in its big box.

Wish I still had little big adventure one and two in their boxes

Rozzy85 · 3 Jan 2011 at 15:34

I have a few but nothing special.

I always loved the box art on the older games. You just don't see it on games today as the box just isn't as important anymore.

Kazz · 3 Jan 2011 at 15:35

There was some brilliant boxart back in the day
