Stupidly Expensive Big Box PC Games - $800 Sealed?!? 

Lol. Agreed. I got back into collecting my old lost big box pc games about 2 years ago and had to do quite a bit of work to find them all at reasonable prices. Hardest to find was the Wing Commander 3 film tin version but I got it and my collection is complete! Wish I had never gotten rid of my originals when I moved out at 18 though lol.

You are ruining your treasures. :P

@@LungMing23 I have a bunch of my C64 and Amiga boxed games. I really didn't have a PC until 2002.

Gamevet wow! I never got the C64 experience. I’m kinda sad for that after learning about it.

I was lucky to have a next door neighbor with his C64 back then. It was rad. I miss him.

Thanks so much!! It was an honor to help out! :D

Kevin Ng is good peoples!

@@kevinwng Do you know OneyNG?

Lahton Wolfgramm 😂😂😂

Great to see you here!!

I love love love Big Box Games like the rest of the community lol. Man... Awesome art, and a magical time for gaming!

@@delrachdubal Remember all those manuals in Big Box games? They were basically books. Especially for the flight simulators.

Spencer T I’m sorry to hear that

Dogma as he was turning the box I felt like the eyes were following me! Super creepy.

@@chucklea5898 yeah me too, I thought maybe its supposed to do that? Lol

One thing I'll never forget is the smell when you open up a big box PC game, especially the smell of the manual. Now that's nostalgia.

Lol your account fits perfectly with this video

I've never paid more than 20$ for a PC game, and own more than 300 CIB. Just don't buy anything from ebay, it's just stupid to pay these prices. The biggest part of my collection come from thrift stores, garage sales or flea markets. But I also bought lots from website like Craigslist. My most recent acquisition come from one of these website and I bought 71 CIB PC games (mostly from the 90s) for 80$. In the lot, there was game like Blood, Duke Nukem Atomic Edition, Mario's Missing Deluxe and Mortal Kombat 1 (the version with a Gravis Gamepad included). You just have to know where to check and most importantly, be patient. Sometime, I can't find a single game for many months. And if someone is trying to sell you a game that you really really want for a stupid price, just tell him to go fuck himself. Because that's how the price rise for all of us. Now that everyone know that a complete moron paid 800$ for Gabriel Knight, it's will be even harder to find a copy at a reasonable price.

Do you guys know where to get protector cases for them

@@BazookaJoe03 Well... Since there was no standard for Big Box, protector cases for them will probably be hard to find. You can check on ebay or amazon, I know case for Atari games exist. But really, you best bet would be to buy thick clear plastic sheet and cut them yourself.

@@adamrandall2996 bruh i've been looking for the mk1 with the gravis joypad pack-in, lucky lol, but yeah i agree game collecting's full of idiots, most i ever paid was $60 for shadow warrior and $55 for death rally and that's it, all the other ones i have (100+) i got for under $30, even games like blood, duke3d, system shock, etc, my best find so far was original ss1 with the ice breaker handbook off amazon for $25

@@adamrandall2996 So what's the website you bought 71 games from?

^^ TRUTH :)

AdventureGameGeek Looks weird

Thank you so much! 40 years worth of gaming history and there is no end to the wonders you can find.

@@rorz999 It was only on store shelves for less than a year. LGR has a good video about it.
