Spend, spend, spend!!! - Tell us about the GAMES you've bought, found, or .... whatever! :-)

Aren't those great Mullane.


Its hard to get a Road to India big box that isn't squashed because it was a flimsy box that wasn't supported very well on the inside. Same with Backpacker and Celtica. I love the Cydonia big box much better than the North American release, Lightbringer. A game I enjoyed very much. Seeing the Starship Titanic box brings back fond memories of that game. Good haul. If you give up any more arms and legs you will not have anything left to play the games with. Where do you keep or display your games?

Yeah. I noticed there was much of an insert in the Road to India box. I wondered if it was the original one when I opened it up, it is horrible.

I thought Cydonia was the American release? It does have the ESRB ratings on it.

I keep all my stuff in my bedroom(s) cupboards (i have too many to fit in my room so I have expanded to others). There isn't room for anything else, but who needs clothes anyway?

Lightbringer was a North American release by Dream Catcher. I always thought the Cydonia was coined by the UK release. We all know how the Adventure Company/Dreamcatcher likes to change the names.

Indeed. I remember being largely confused by the Schizm/Mysterious Journey name changing at one point.

GreyFuss/Mullane keep stepping it up a notch. It's not enough to find the game boxed, not enought to find the game boxed and sealed, but noooo, the guy has to find these rare games boxed, sealed AND in awesome condition! Your Backpacker and Celtica boxes look perfect. My Celtica box is a bit bowed inward, much like 95% of them I guess.

And OpSys has a boxed version? WTH! All this time I thought my JC version was the only way it was sold. I feel stupid now for not knowing that. Shoot, even mobygames has a picture of the box. I don't know what I was thinking.

Mullane, couldn't help but notice your boxed Perfect Assassin. Now there's a game that nobody ever talks about. Definitely obscure.

Lakerz...where have you been? All work and no play makes for no game playing.

Mine is also bowed, the photo is a lie.

Yeah, I kind of luckily happened across it one day on eBay. I don't really know anything about it.

I can't help myself

Sweet finds ! I'm in the process of acquiring Zelenhgorm . With luck , I'll have it this time next week .

Please take your time Mullane. There'll be none left for the rest of us! And you have YEARS on most of us!!

mmmmmm

Excellent, I prefer this release of Obsidian than the green box. Never saw that version of an Inca box and the Crystal Skull box is a great find. You don't always get to see a big box of The Scroll either since the game was bashed so much.

Keep them coming Mullane. Did you hit the Lottery down there, picked up a second and third job or just taken to robbing banks?

All 3 really. Robbing banks is a lot harder than I thought.

A couple of new arrivals. I had to find a Robot City to keep up with Mullane. Both games are shrinkwrapped.

Very nice finds GreyFuss. I love the way Robot City looks. Are they both big boxes GreyFuss ? Just fantastic.

Robot City is a big box, Madness of Roland is half way between a big box and the size of the boxes that are released nowadays. Not a medium size more like a semi big box.

Thank you GreyFuss. Such lovely boxes .

Nice Greyfuss! I haven't heard of Madness of Roland.

Here is my counter offensive.

I've been here and there (but rarely everywhere). I'll go through stretches where I won't be online for a stretch (mostly when I start a great book and just can't put it down). Or I'll get in a mood to sit down for a day or two and watch a string of movies and/or TV shows.

I've been playing through Bioshock finally. Always wanted to experience that game, but I had a tricky time getting it to run smooth on my Vista PC. Finally did it though, and the game is fantastic. A bit heavy on the action for my taste, but definitely could be worse in that regard. I'm just soaking up the atmosphere in each area and marvelling at the game as a whole. I have the sequel all ready to load up once I finish this one.

Hey Mullane, are you posting pics of each shipment of games as they come in, or have all these games been a part of your collection for some time now? If this is the pace you are acquiring games, my hat is off to you! You will soon have the same problem that I do, how can one play through all these games in one lifetime? I wish I knew the answer to that one, It would probably require me to quit my job, forget all social contact with family and friends and just play games 24/7.

lakerz I have the same problem. If you ever find the answer let me know.

I post them as they arrive in the mail. There has been an unusual amount recently though and I expect it to dry up fairly soon. It is already too late, I have the same problem and in a very bad way. It is quite a conundrum indeed.

A couple of recent arrivals

Wow another couple of nice finds GreyFuss. The box art on Torin's Passage is incredible

A couple of crackers GreyFuss.

Is Dinotopia complete with playing cards?

Yes Gee, the pack of playing cards are included along with a super sized Manual.

Luverley !!
