OMFG Star Trek TNG A Final Unity Collectors! That is freaking awesome. I never knew it had a CE release, but man I played that game for so many hours as a kid.

I found that Warcraft 3 box in the infamous "Trader 3" in Akiba Japan, actually it was on the same trip when I bought you that Super Potato T-shirt! GET YOUR WONDER SOFT WORLD I do love a good ol' big box game, it was worth the 4 year wait to get Broken Age in said format!

I remember when I first found the Sims, back when you just saw a game in the store and bought it if the cover and back of the box looked cool. It came with that huge instruction manual in it. I had the original one before they even added deluxe. But sadly my parents sold my games in a garage sale. Traumatizing! :( I remember that the boxes became smaller but I didn't really think about why at the time. I did miss the manual being included in the box though bc I always read them!

They are indeed. I cherish each and every one, hehe.

Thank you!

Always annoyed me that Morrowind only came in a smaller box. Worldwide too, as far as I can tell, which is weird since it was 2002 and plenty of big box releases happened that year.

Phoo ... I picked up The Orange Box and Halo; Xanadar and Velvet Assassin discounted very heavily lately. Boxed games are a rarity and a privilege.

Great video !!

My last big box PC game I purchased brand new was MechWarrior 4. My next purchase after that was Morrowind which came in a smaller box, but still had all the extras like the fold-out map and whatnot. :B

Hehe, it's a great piece in the collection, that's for sure. And yeah, I think the price sticker is part of its history, so I keep it there!

Hot damn, seeing that old big box Far Cry I sent ya on YouTube really is something. I'm surprised you didn't take off that price sticker at the top corner.
