Show off your nerdiness by telling us about your boxed peripherals! Nothing past 2004. (they can be games/software.)
Here's some of mine, but be warned, the shittness of these photo's is very great!

Only got one - my 3dfx Voodoo 2 1000 12MB 3D card:

Had plans to use it, but real-life got in the way; now it's just a backup in case my other Voodoo 2 dies.

Ooohh, the pain......

I had a PS1 box with a PS1 and cables and things in it,but which I thrown away in 2012.The PS1 died because I accidentally broke the BIOS chip,but I still have the case from it (is painted yellow though,but was normal gray when I hot it),the video cable and the power cord too.I had to throw away the box after I crammed a K6-2 400 @377MHz in there,which died.
Now most of my boxes are post 2004 sadly,so it's not worth posting them here.

No pics, but I have a Righteous (?) Voodoo 1 board still with the box (got it from my uncle), a 387 Cyrix coprocessor (don't know the speed though) and a Super 7 board MS-5169 with the manuals and everything complete (bought the board NIB) and a load of games in the oldfashioned cardboard boxes.

Whats missing in your collections?

Is VR Soccer or Actua Soccer included in this Righteous card of yours?

Just asking, as all Righteous card I've seen included the VR Soccer version.

Is it just me or did everything from the late 90s to early 2000s have a guy screaming on the package/product, or glaring menacingly?

I always thought they showed soldiers, aliens, space ships and explosions more.

Shuttle brand? There was a space shuttle illustration on the manual (and possibly on the box) of the 386 Shuttle mainboard we had.

That's what my house used to be before I moved to my present house 🤣! But I wouldn't have let any tv camera's into my house anyway.
Now I've got everything tucked away in the attic...well most of it anyway 🤣

I don't think he included the games, the box was already opened and the card used. But iirc it did include the card, cable and driver disk (and perhaps the manual also).

@ DonutKing: An awesome collection you have there!! 😁

@snorg: I agree, many computer hardware/software boxes had some kind of theme going to attract attention and/or interest. Just look at the Gravis Ultrasound ACE box:

@DonutKing: Now that's what I call a collection 😮 . And I certainly remember seeing quite a few of these boxes in computer store shelves back in the day.

Ooohh, the pain......
