LGR's Big Box PC Game Collection Room Tour

Over 1,600 unique PC game boxes from the '80s to the mid-2000s! So much gaming history in one spot makes me happy in ways it's tough to explain. This is the LGR big box computer game collection room update for June 2017.

The only person to own more games than a rom site :)

The carpet really ties the room together.

Did you literally buy an entire RadioShack from 1999? How is it possible to amass such a pristine collection??

[DiogoUsagi]

That Windows 95 startup jingle remains one of the most powerful nostalgia triggers.

[HiGregory]

This brings me back to when I was 14 and my dad would take me to Best Buy to pick out a computer game. I love steam but man did it kill the Best Buy pc game aisles.

[dreamca]

An overflowing feeling of nostalgia, especially the flight sims, and when that Win 95 chime kicked in, I felt like I was a kid back in 1996.

[DrazenX]

Man. All these things I recognize just takes me back to better days.

[Tannerlegasse]

I'm always so envious, LGR. But hey, at least we get to glimpse your collection if we can't have our own. Thanks, man:)

[LepaRetro]

WOW! I have around 1600 PC GAMES collected, but only 300+ with BigBoxes. I see a lot of rare boxes ..rly amazing collection. Maybe in my country We have not so much games like in USA, but I hope during couple years I'll collect more ;) Can you tell more about your system of sorting boxes ? The most beautiful games are those in 5"25 inc discs. Old boxes are magic and old manuals are awesome :)

Beautiful collection. I miss pc physical releases so bad.

[jocopowell]

"I like big boxes and I cannot lie" You're beautiful for saying that.

[kommodore]

I wish I kept my boxes from when I was younger, I'd love a collection like this as well.

2:52 Holy crap, NBA Inside Drive 2000. That one has Ray Allen on the cover, yeah?

I bought that during All-Star Weekend in 2000--I was a kid and the All-Star game was in my hometown of Oakland that year. In the tent that game looked like the coolest thing in the world, and it was pretty cool playing it on my eMachines desktop when I got home too.

Thanks for the flashback, LGR.

I tend to be a bit of a minimalist at heart so I just wanted to say thanks for doing what you do.
It's really cool seeing so many physical copies of these games.

[LyonsArcade]

Man I'm glad to see you appreciate these older games that are long forgotten, we get them in our store from time to time and I have to put a couple bucks on them and find a spot on the shelf for them. Every once in awhile somebody comes in and picks a few up, I agree with you on the older sports games too, the Golf and Baseball ones were pretty amazing just because the amount of statistics, etc. they could keep track of even back then was pretty mind blowing. The books with them are always huge too, even on things like the Genesis.

I can only imagine, two years after the zombie apocalypse, a half starved survivor hunting for food breaks in to this room....

[sahaynam]

Amazing! Big box PC game era was legit. Huge manuals, cloth maps, crazy boxes (Ultrabots takes the cake).

[MagicPatagonia]

Good old times....there was a lot of production on these boxes....I remember the excitement when opening the Myst series boxes ....there was plenty of surprises inside them...the Exile box came with a metal figure of some kind of rabbit :)

[InFlamesor]

DUDE, I just came across this channel and this was like returning to my childhood years. I used to have quite a lot of these lovely big box game, when I get some, usually one or two on christmas I used to carry them with me over everywhere and reading through manuals and what was on the game boxes and so on, because I couldnt play them yet, as I did not have a PC that could run them. I shed multiple nostalgic tears when watching this video, thank you very much. I wish I could see this Wonderful collection in person. You have no idea how incredibly lucky you are that you can have these on your shelves

I also wanted to see all of the games indivdually browsed from back to front at least, would be cool

How wildly and accidentally appropriate.
