Added 2016-10-09 02:29:30 +0000 UTCI am still just in awe of the selection presented to me here...

ABSOLUTELY with a walkthrough. I seriously doubt I'd ever have been able to see the ending without one, some of the puzzles are absolutely beyond bonkers

2016-10-14 16:50:05 +0000 UTCI need to get a copy of Discworld one of these days.. That game looks right up my alley .. ... (well, with a walkthru, that is)

2016-10-14 12:59:49 +0000 UTCThere were so many thousands of games released in the first fifteen years of the PC, it's possible to look and find something new every day :)

2016-10-14 01:31:56 +0000 UTCDid I say Knight One? Ha, whoops.
LGR
2016-10-14 01:31:12 +0000 UTCYou mean Knight Orc not Knight One? I remember playing that and another one by Rainbird called the Guild of Thieves. Great haul!
2016-10-10 07:51:04 +0000 UTCAlso, Discworld AND Hitchiker's Guide? This guy's dad had very good taste

2016-10-10 00:20:25 +0000 UTCWatching this makes me want to go over to gog.com or an abandonware site and hope to find some cool ancient game I haven't tried before, or one I haven't gotten around to, like the Kyrandia series, or Police Quest

2016-10-10 00:16:41 +0000 UTCYs is one of those I'd pretty much just given up on finding a copy of for the PC. Super awesome to actually own it now :)

2016-10-09 17:18:27 +0000 UTCThanks, I look forward to talking about them in the future!

2016-10-09 17:17:48 +0000 UTCThose are some of my favorite things as well. Shows how much people got into them, how engaging each game was!

2016-10-09 17:17:32 +0000 UTCAt this point, I'm missing 1 and 2 in their original release boxes, and some of the later games like 9 and Online. Here's a pic of how it was before I added Exodus: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/4giEuxW.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://i.imgur.com/4giEuxW.jpg</a>

2016-10-09 17:14:54 +0000 UTCHehe, thankfully I don't keep these in my house, I'd have no room!
LGR
2016-10-09 17:14:05 +0000 UTCa MASSIVE one
LGR
2016-10-09 17:13:54 +0000 UTCBack then they were "expansions" at least ;)
LGR
2016-10-09 17:13:50 +0000 UTCI would hate the responsibility of taking care of these pristine archives! The collection went to the right person. :)
Purple Tentacle
2016-10-09 11:13:42 +0000 UTCOh dang! I just remembered that I have a Dragon Wars poster with that artwork on it. I had completely forgotten about it. I should dig it out.

2016-10-09 08:48:13 +0000 UTCI'm amazed by that copy of Y's I coming up while I'm in the middle of playing another Falcom game on my vita. This stuff is all just so cool.

2016-10-09 08:33:09 +0000 UTCI'm so freaking jealous right now. Why can't random people send me boxes of games like this? :D
Nr7
2016-10-09 08:28:52 +0000 UTCWonder what you own for the Ultima series. How many of the games do you have in their original non re-release boxes?

2016-10-09 07:44:15 +0000 UTCNever leave home without your microscopic space fleet. I absolutely adore the Hitchhiker's Guide books. I got a kitten recently and I ended up naming her Zem after the affable, yet quite staggeringly stupid, swamp dwelling mattress.

2016-10-09 05:50:46 +0000 UTCGreat googly moogly, look at all them games! O_O
The Enforcer
2016-10-09 05:44:04 +0000 UTCDamn. That was a heck of a haul. Hoping some of those early ones can be read out okay - plenty there I'd never even heard of (Planet's Edge for example). Looking forward to seeing which ever ones you get around to covering - no matter whenever it happens :D

2016-10-09 05:14:23 +0000 UTCThis was fantastic! How do you feel about all the little surprises and tokens of love for the game left over by previous owners? Those are some of my favorite things - thinking about what they may have been thinking when they took those notes or wrote something down, descrambling their shorthand etc. I'd love to see an episode about little mementoes like that and strange things you've found in thrifted or donated boxes.
2016-10-09 04:32:43 +0000 UTCWelp, time for a bigger house. Again. :P

2016-10-09 04:31:05 +0000 UTCClint I think you had one MAJOR nerdgasm going through all that.
