Galactic Civilizations 2 for OS/2 just arrived in my mailbox. Now I'm torn as to whether I should break the seal and play it or not. 🤣

I know...that's always a dillema for me...for the most part I try not to open a sealed game, especially when there's the good chance I can just find another without the box or case for much cheaper and just use that as my playing copy, but in this case with OS/2 games being so rare, it's tough.

Can you post a picture? I have never seen an OS/2 game package. Is it just the same as any other windows or dos version of the game?

I just picked up a boxed copy of final DOOM and Wolf3D a couple weeks ago...so glad I finally found a copy of these....they just pretty much fell on my lap as part of a lot purchase.

There's another seller on ebay right now who has two copies of the original GalCiv for OS/2, one sealed, one opened slightly damaged package, but wants way too much money for either one.

Very cool...totally worth what you got it for..wish I had a couple of those to go with my copies of OS/2.

Monkey Island 2

I picked up over 70 games at Life Line Bookfest last weekend.

Highlights include Terminal Velocity, Shadow Warrior, Death Rally, AvP2 and Expansion, C&C Renegade, X-Wing vs TIE FIghter Balance of Power, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, Sin, GTA Vice City (all jewel-case-only), MYST big box, and Flight Simulator 2004 big box.

Video to come, of course!

Very good score on Mokey Island 2 solarstorm!
Do you have original manuals as well?

Some thrift store finds from yesterday and today...most I already have boxed copies of including Camelot, Heroes V and SW Jedi Knight Academy, but for a few dollars I couldn't pass it up to have a couple extra copies...

I've never seen this version of Dune...it looks like a newer, later windows remade version? I look forward to trying it.

I never pass up a chance to buy a sierra game in it's original box (if it's a decent price of course), no matter how many copies I have.

You will probably be disappointed, like the rest of us Dune fans...

I actually don't know if the box is complete, here's a picture of its content.
(It also came with MI1 from a magazine)

And here's my newest haul.

I think they're all complete.

Looks complete to me...awesome haul. All classics. Indiana Jones and all old Lucas arts boxed games are like gold for me 🤣

The Sierra Adventure haul:

(Space Quest 2 still to arrive, and i left out LSL1,2,3 from the picture)

Wing Commander goodness:

(Only missing Special Operations 1)

Random awesome haul:

(Ivan Stewart Off Road arrived today!!)

A couple of arcade classics still on the mail, and there's another one that is quite rare... 😎

Love the Sierra games haul, I really should stop collecting random hardware and get back into the Big box collecting! Looks like everyone except me has a copy of Ironman Super OffRoad!! grr 😀

Tell you the truth i always thought this would be a hard game to get, it was a matter of looking for it almost every day... 😁

It's Decent II with the strategy guide.

Duuuude! Love Descent 2! 😀

Copy of the PC version of Street Fighter II in there, Its kinda rare to see it with the jewel case still.
Good find.

Actually, it's not a game, it's an as-yet unidentified SF2 related music CD, with sheet music in the booklet. Perhaps even cooler than SF2 for PC!!

@carlostex...I'm drooling over your thexder I and II finds! Awesome haul.

Picked up these two random sealed big box games for 50 cents.

Arrived today:

Box had a cut but i promptely fixed it with transparent duct tape. Quite cool for the price.
