God DAMN this thread makes me jealous! Oh well - it's probably too expensive to start collecting old boxes now, but I did pick up these two bad boys recently.
You know, I like to think of them as time capsules. Sometimes I imagine that some day, when I grow old, I'm going to open my sealed Mechwarrior 2 or Ultima Underworld box, and smell the the sweet aroma of the golden age of pc gaming.

Yup, it's so well written and detailed I did homework with it once, using its explanations of the pro and cons of each political system. Good enough for a 10-year old kid.The big civ 2 manual.
or someone worthy of the codex. either way, speak up, and share more box photos!

I bought it from some guy in the States - looks like it might've been released both in the UK and US. The box I had in my childhood and bought in Estonia looked the same. AFAIK the German version didn't have the cut-out, I dunno about other editions.
Here's the back:
How did you hide the body?I left all my stuff in my mother's garage when I moved overseas, safely packed in boxes. This included all SSI gold box and Darksun and Ravenloft games, BG1,2 IWD 1,2 Arcanum, Fallout 1, 2, Deus-ex and so on. Betrayal at Krondor in original box. Bards Tale trilogy for c64. Everything.
Last time I was home (about 2 years ago) I went out to the garage to check on my collection. The boxes with my games were gone (but the boxes with all of my books were still there). My mother didn't know anything about it (according to her) so I asked my sister about it.
"Oh yeah" She says and dashes off to the study. She comes back with one of those fucking CD wallets, those stupid things designed to hold a 100 cds. "I figured you only needed the discs"
Honestly it's pissing me off just thinking about it.
I really don't understand this hoarder instinct, why have sealed copies?
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...H0&_nkw=BLADERUNNER+Westwood+Studios&_sacat=0I remember that Blade Runner game. I never got to finish it because some kind of bug near the end of the game... That game is nowhere to be found now, right?
Holy crap, I bought the budget re-re-release of Blade Runner for $3 here in Iceland years ago, and you're telling me I could sell it on eBay for multiple that amount?
