Very nice collection. Love the big boxes (I remember those days when you got a big box full of goodies and not just 1 disk with no manual that you get these days.
My pride and joy is an original boxed copy of midwinter with both 3.5 & 5.25 inch floppy disks pity i dont have a disk drive to use it with but the manual for that was a great long read.

Did you see the recent news story about the French video game collector that just sold a big chunk of his old game collection on EBay for over 1 million euros. Now that would be worth collecting games for.

That's a fine start for a collection.
I had to get rid of the big cardboard boxes because they started to take far too much space. I put the game CDs and manuals into small air tight plastic bags. And even then I feel they are taking too much space.
The latest physical game I bought was Rise of Nations 2 (it came on a small DVD box luckily), and even there I noticed that the big box where I keep my PC strategy games is already completely full, so I have hard time fitting the RoN2 DVD case inside it. I keep the physical PC games in separate big boxes by the genre, e.g. strategy games, RPGs, adventure games and action games. I first had a separate box also for simulators, but I merged them with action titles as with some games it is hard to tell which category they belong to (like the Jetfighter and Comanche series?), and I don't hava as many simulators and action titles, as I have in the other genres.
I must say I still prefer the digital (GOG) items, they take less space and are much easier to organize...

Oh and I forgot that I still have System Shock 2! That one really surprised me. I also have The Elder Scroll Adventures: Redguard, which is pretty obscure.
for some reason it didn't post the 2nd pic.

This is my collection.

I'm very sad I tossed out my Thief1 and Thief2 boxes in a move. It was a tough call then and I have regretted it ever since, but space was a premium at the time and empty boxes was a hard sell.
The Devil Inside belongs on GOG! ;)
