I remember that bundle! Came with a 2-300 page book. Such fun.

My favorite compilations are the LucaArts and Sierra Online ones.

I really liked the Live 5.1 bundle. Deus Ex, Unreal Tournament, MDK2, Thief II...... 2000 GOTYs in a box, none of this uPlay redeeming crap 😁

I think those are the exact same games that I got on a stand alone EA Compilation, which I bought on sale directly from EA.

I recently bought the Interplay 10th Anniversary and 15th Anniversary anthologies. There's some good games there that would cost a lot of money to buy big box versions of like Wasteland and Fallout. The Lost Treasures of Infocom volumes 1 and 2 are worth buying if you can get them cheaply enough. Trying to buy those games individually in the grey boxes with all the pack ins will set you back a bundle. I also have one here called Take Five: The Entertainer that has Road and Track, Links, KQ V, Trump Castle and Dark Sun Shattered Lands. I bought it for Dark Sun and KQ V both of which can be expensive Big Box.

I also have Forgotten Realms Archives Silver Edition (Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Secret of the Silver Blades, Pools of Darkness, Gateway to the Savage Frontier, Treasures of the Savage Frontier, Hillsfar, Eye of the Beholder, Eye of the Beholder II, Eye of the Beholder III, Dungeon Hack, Menzoberranzan, Blood and Magic, and the Baldur's Gate interactive demo). Pretty much any cheap variety pack like that that has at least one moderately expensive game in it is worth getting if you're just looking a legal copy to play and not for collecting.

We bought a sounblaster 16 CD-ROM Kit with that compliation back in 1994 I believe, the Kit also contained another really good disk which you see on ebay with the blue background with yellow text, Pagan Ultima 8, Wing commander 2, Strike Commander & Syndicate which were the full versions and all their add-ons, it was an amazing deal back then for the $299 price, also had a bunch of multimedia titles like Encarta 94 some Dinosaurs CD etc.

I remember, as a kid, wanting to buy The Lost Adventures of Legend. But nobody sold it, I believe it was a US only thing 😒
