Apogee stuff.

Ok, I will take this 3 games 😁
I´m a bigbox collector too and it´s impossible to get this three games in our country. I can search them on USA Ebay , but they are crazy with their shipping costs and taxes 🙁

Thx for the higher resolution and you own beautiful games 😀

Star Wars. Also have X-Wing but forgot to put it in the pic.

Other Lucas stuff.

Blizzard.

id Software.

Hexen poster.

I miss this one:

😁

Awesome Blizzard collection! I have a couple of questions and a request.

Do you have Warcraft I in any form? Haven't seen it so far.

Does your StarCraft Battle Chest have the game CDs in paper sleeves or in jewel cases?

Would it be possible for you to share high-resolution scans of the rear inserts of your StarCraft & Brood War jewel cases? (I assume that at least the individual boxed copies have them) I want to print them for my copy, and MobyGames does not offer sufficiently high resolutions for download.

Don't have any Warcraft 1.

The SC Battle Chest and big boxes both have the same jewel cases, I'll try and get them scaned on the weekend.

Accolade games, these all still sealed.

Bullfrog games.

Front and back of the Roadshow Interactive registration card.

Falcon 4.0 map, looks like a very serious game.

Mechwarriors.

Awesome! I collect these as well. Some great titles you have there.
Are you on the Big Box PC Collectors Australia group on Facebook?

No, I don't do Facebook.

A few ECP releases

SSI compilations.

Goldies.

Stonekeep has a cool hologram on the box, and includes a cloth bound novella Thera Awakening.

Redneck Rampage has it's own newspaper, the Hickston Hog.

Forgotten Realms book fans could save $0.99 and get The Abduction Part 1 for free with Blood & Magic.

Birthright map with calendar.

The Battle for Middle-Earth II map. Flip side has the Evil Campaign basics. $19.95 was an OK deal.

just looking again at these, especially the contents, i am reminded of when the art and extras were (or should be) considered part of the game, largely because the game often wasn't that great all by itself, you needed the 'imagination support' the materials gave you, otherwise the veil would fall and you'd realise you were playing something repetitive and clunky with bleeps (not all games, but lots really don't hold up well if you dive in cold with binaries only, then or now - but especially now)

Australian box of Rainbow Six 3 has a PCB in the front cover as well, not a light this time but a speaker hooked up to a trigger on the gatefold cover. Batteries are dead and leaking though, anyone know what it says or does?

Three trios.

Some compilation big boxes.

Alpha Centauri includes a massive tech tree poster.

Dungeon Master II includes this poster of er... something. Guess I need to play the game to find out.

If the corrosion isn't too bad you might be able to clean it up and swap out the batteries.

Yeah, I want to but it's glued in and I don't want to damage the box trying to get it out. It's very tight in the cover but I might try and find the positive and negative and piggyback a battery in there and hope there is no trace damage from the leakage.

Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 maps.

Flip side of the Baldur's Gate map and it's cool CD booklet.

This Rick Dangerous 2 is not a big box but it comes with a comic book, poster and catalog.

Dark Legions CD and disk versions both include the same set of SSI collector cards.

All the Microprose.

Microsoft games.

Sierras.

They fit a lot into The Colonel's Bequest skinny box.

A letter from Ken.

Iceman map. Australia not well represented on this map...

Would you mind showing the contents of your theme hospital please? I've got the AU box but I suspect the contents are from the UK version.

Yeah I have one - not perfect condition though

Haven't seen any New World Computing stuff so far? Where are those Might & Magic games? SHOW ME! 😁

The manuals for Theme Hospital both say Printed in Singapore on the back but I can't find the CD.

Should be obvious by the weight of the box 😉
