I started collecting PC Big Box games, or more accurately, started SAVING all the packaging for PC Big Box games back in the late 90s. Around 2012 I set out to collect the remaining Lucasarts games, and it has kind of grown from that ever since. I love the “thrill of the hunt” and try and shy away from eBay or auction sites, its too easy to find stuff that way (and generally more expensive).
I’m trying to take pictures of each game I have with all (or at least all the important) contents, mostly for my own sanity and for public fun. I feel like PC Big Boxes don’t really get as much attention as console games from that era, and that’s a damn shame. So here’s a page showcasing how awesome and beautiful some of these are! :D
Moving to BigBoxDB
I’ve moved this page to BigBoxDB to show off my collection in a more creative way.
Wishlist
