Wall O Games

small, it save space.

holy shnikeys...No one lives forever, still have memories of blowing sh*t up with my bacalov corrector. I'd prefer a smaller box, but i do have a lot of my PC video games in bigger boxes which i don't have the heart to throw away.

I personally perfer the big old boxes. I used to love how some companies would try to fit in as much crap as possible in the boxes(shirts,posters...etc). I'll probably post a picture of my old PC box collection as I have quite a few.

By the way, if you love old PC boxes, then you'd definitely love NeoGeo AES cart boxes.

Now that I get a lot of my games from Steam, I don't even get boxes nowadays.

I'm really dating myself but I have a lot of the same boxes in the picture. Let see: Doom, Doom ;II; Neverwinter Nights series: Baldur's Gate I, II - Sword Coast of Amn, II - Throne of Bhaal; Half Life series; Warcraft II, III, Prince of Persia, Diablo I, II; No One Lives Forever I, II; Icewind Dale I, II, II - Heart of Winter; Command and Conquer, Freedom Force; Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic; Age of Mythology.

Heck it's probably easier to list what I don't have. >.<

I probably got some stuff that would put that guy to shame: original gold box D&D, Warcraft I, Quake, etc.

big only if it contains limited edition stuff like artbooks, etc

I prefer small as they are much easier to stack and store, parents didn't let me get into pc games until relatively late so don't have too many big box games.

I got tonnes of games here...PC games..PS1,2 many...I got too many..
You all know why?
Malaysia didn't sell original games for consoles or pc..actually not didn't sold is really hard to find.
All the game shop sell pirated games..1 PS2 game = RM5 PC game 1 DVD = RM10 XBOX 360 1 dvd = RM 8..
Gundam Musou 2? PS2 ver USD 40? here RM 5!

Definitely prefer the small boxes. Never liked the big ones - take a lot of room. The new ones resemble DVD-cases more, which I find a definite improvement. It just means all the iamges/text/etc is scaled down.

It also saves paper and ink and is marginally better for the environment. *cough*

Industries all goes green now, thus the packing are small, same with many other products.

I'd take all the Half Life games as a priority jajajaj, really, nice games.

I actually like the smaller packaging. It saves resources which is good for teh environment. Also, I don't want those big boxes to take over my room. Then again, I don't have much trouble with boxes in the first place because I rarely buy originals (is buying pirated which is BAD) x_x

interesting to know most here prefer the smaller boxes. for me i pack the smaller boxes into the big boxes to save space.

I like big boxes, especially when they come with all sorts of goodies^^

I prefer small boxes since I'm the type to not throw anything out.

In terms of games, I buy those that I really want to play. If I'm just getting something to play the campaigns, I'd just get it from the net or borrow it, play through the campaigns and dispose of it. Online play is a different story because (ironically) I think stealing cd keys is wrong.

O_O;

If I am buying an old PC game that was originally released in the huge box, I tend to look for that. That is a very nice collection, btw. Maybe we can get a few others to post their PC games collections. I'll upload mine once I hit 50 comments.=)

I'll be honest, I have a lot of 'open source' games :P but for a game that I really REALLY like, I'll buy originals :)

I buy all my games (and all my anime). I like supporting the companies that provide me with my two favorite hobbies.

While I realize you are just an Apple fanboy, please don't sully the idea of open source by equating it to software piracy. As a developer yourself, you should realize that legally free software (Open source) is not the same as free software (pirating copyrighted software).

I prefer my games in small, cardboard boxes like Famicom, Game Boy, etc. CD-like cases (PC Engine) and DVD-like boxes (DS) are boring, and the illustration can't really bleed what is a shame.

But I also like games in a can, like Danny's card holder (Bomberman GB).

I buy all my games. DEATH TO PIRACY!!

Well doesn't open-source mean that it is free?? So why do you say "are you honest"? If its open-source like many games available today then it not a matter of honesty or piracy, but a matter of not spending money. Now if you mean do i prefer to buy games or download them and get cracks or whatever, than the answer is no i don't.

I think you should reword this post...

I don't own English games, but I do own Chinese PC games. ^^

I never pirate Games, either buy or do without

seldom buy PC games but has quite a fair bit of console games..

the only PC games that I buy are those for online purpose or chinese game whose protection are hard to crack X_X
& i usually throw away the boxes of the PC games take up too much spaces

I confess that I ever buy open source before, until I'm frustrated with a game called "Final Fantasy IX". It always crashed at the end of Disc 1 and the beginning of Disc 2. Even I have change the open source two times, the crashes persist. Finally I run straight to a game shop and bought an original copy and cleared the three discs out of four without a hick-up. Since that day, I never touch a single open source copies since.

I own about almost 200+ original copies of U/C PS2 games and now currently playing some of them on my PS3. My latest PS2 games are Yakuza 2, Persona 4 and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories.

I also buy originals for all my PC, PSP, DS, Gameboy Advance, Xbox360, Wii And PS3 games.

d@@b

Whether i prefer small or big boxes depends on the content of the box. I wouldn't want to have a cereal sized box that only has the installation CD and manual inside ^^;.

All of my console games are legitimate. Don't game a lot on PC, but the games I do play are generally not legitimate. Having said that, I have a fair bit of legitimate eroge...

I don't play much games anyway... but stuff like wow has got to be real :P

So many great games on this picture!

*Looks at the Bottom of the picture - heart pound*
The Baldur's Gate Saga is a MUST ! (Icewind Dale is also not bad) Really, these old Roleplay-Games are fantastic, never played any better Roleplay-Game since then.

K, back to topic, i often buy games i really want to have. One point is, to support the people, who are doing so much effort for creating such good games. Another point is, copies "don't" have extras ^^

I've thought about pc/video-games a time ago and i was asking me, what will happen if all the companies who make games, would stop their work for 1 or 2/3 years ? (for this kind of situation they become money support for their employee's, that they become money but don't have to work) As a protest against all the copies of their work. Not against the people, who buy games, but it is meant as a signal, what could happen, if the game-companies are going out of money because of not selled games and the massive number of game copies. Haha, what an idea ...

Played 10 of the games on the picture. Didn't finish them all though.

I prefer to buy games, but I don't always have money for them.

you know how a student may obtain software using a academis license and save a LOT of money ?
they should do the same with gaming software, than I could buy them =D

This guys has great taste in games! I have almost all the games stacked up there, I especially like the Warcraft and Diablo series.

has this been posted a long time

Nice collection! I have "Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic" and "Age Of Empires II" as well, officially bought. Terrific games, real classics. ^^

Well, with games I only purchase one every so often (PC or console), when it really appeals to me, I'll try it out and buy it, usually it's rpg or rts games.
Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of great fps games out there, but their replayability is usually poor and when you see an fps (certainly when new) will cost you a bundle for maybe only 10 hours of gameplay whereas an rpg or rts may give you over a hundred hours of gameplay for the same price, I prefer to invest in those.

I prefer the big boxes of the early 90s. I remember when games were still put in floppy discs and their boxes were huge...similar to the Diablo boxes. There was just one floppy disc and a boatload of manuals and papers in there. hahah!

It depends on how the packaging is. Currently I would prefer smaller ones to save space. Especially if the big boxes are plain and have ugly art I don't care about. If the box is special, or has some nice looking art, I would prefer it larger.

I could probably line 2 walls top to bottom in my house with all games I have bought since 1982 (atari 2600) up. Most of the game boxes I have were collapsed into its flat self and I have most of them and a 4 foot by 2 foot box full of the manuals. A few expansions for MMO's I was playing were digital so no box for them (bought from the game company).

In the 1980's and 1990's I rented an untold amount of games for the Nintendo and Sega Genesis. Usually beat those in 3 days or less with no cheats and didn't have the internet then to look up hints.

buy the original (usually limited edition), d/l an open source version and use that to actually play the game. that way, I keep the original wrapped, sealed and in perfect condition.

But that only applies to PS2 games really...

oh, and max payne was awesome!!!

OMG nice collection! :'O!!

I get copies somehow ;_;

Only my DS games are open source.

These days I usually just buy from the online retailers (Steam, EA Store, Direct 2 Drive). Got enough clutter and I usually don't take very good care of my discs. Usually just throw them onto one of those Blank CD/DVD spindels.

I did recently buy a copy of the WoW expansion though, but only because I had a giftcard to use for it =D

I prefer to buy my games rather than download like a friend of mine... with his PSP games and his DS games.... the only games I download are ones I can't easily get. Eroge's and visual novels for example. Just a few days ago I finally bought Digimon Championship, mega addictive game, gameplay resembles Monster Rancher a bit, only you can have way more monsters as opposed to just one lol. I love it, loved it in Japanese lol(my friend downloaded that too lol.)

Out of that wall of games... I've played like.... 4 lol.

I'm actually somewhat unimpressed by this collection, I've seen bigger but it's still a great accomplishment of being a pack-rat XD

The only western PC game I ever purchased was The Sims lol.

I prefer all my games to be original AND first edition (none of that "Greatest hits" crap and whatnot).

I try my best to go for originals, especially if it's a game that I've been waiting for.
New console/PC games are expensive in my neck of the woods, and second-hand game market is almost non-existent.

I love the big boxes, but they take up a lot of space. My crib is small, so had to chuck most of them out with the trash.

When everyone was talking about how good and fun Suikoden V (PS2) is, I knew it was heavily pirated when the sales figures were released. In fact, posters openly admitted on game forums to piracy and rationalized this was actually helping sales by spreading the game's popularity on the Internet.

i stopped playing games years ago

the thing i play now are demos that last like 30mins - i feel that's enough sometimes

havn't played games in a long time, but I seem most of these titles...

I'm going to say it's about half and half....

buy piracy game~~
download..
welcome to malaysia... the 2nd land of piracy~~ (besides china~~)

Prefer to be honest and buy my games. Though I don't have the budget for it most of the time since I have no real income yet so I get 1 or 2 open sourced games everynow and then

I do both buy and download. I'm a huge gamer so I play games whichever way I can. But honestly some open source games just don't cut it with computer.

I try to buy the original source, especially if it's something I really really want. When I had the PSOne, it was modified, so I have hundreds of PSOne copied games sitting in a shelf somewhere ^^;

All of my games are originals with the exception of the Touhou series games. For some reason, when I buy them, they tend to crash on my computer and work when I download them. Don't know why that is. Also, I had to download the English versions of Planetarian and Da Capo.

I'm not a thief, so I buy all my games. However I look forward to the day when my house will no longer be cluttered up with game boxes. PSN and XBLA are showing the way, I'd like to have the option to buy any game and download it. The environment will say thank you as well.

I love the cereal box design, it makes you feel all special inside owning them. Like "WOW! I totally finished a game with packaging bigger than my head! I RULE!"

I prefer buying the original game to support my favorite game company. I see some nice game there. Love Red Alert!

ooooh~ i see tons of RTS games~ nice^^

Prefer originals. High quality games, such as Mirror's Edge, Assassin's Creed, CoD4, etc. Open-source games are quite fun though, my favourites being Tetris and O2Mania.

Most games are good but Freedom Force?!What the heck is he thinking?

damn that a lot of games all i do is take the game play it and then leave on a shelve for a while then start playing it again when im bored.
