Let's see,
BAGGS with out saved boxes, no I think not. Folders with notes and printed hints and maybe a walk through. Saved games, notes and patches to hard drive or copy to a diskette or CDR. I do like the fold down box storage plan. I also like the display thing, if you have the room. I have some room, top shelves boxes. Middle shelves folders and bottom Shelves jewel cases with the games at hand. The unplayed, unopened ones are stacked on a side Shelf.

Looks like I'm different to everyone. I cut the box up and glue the front panel to the back - rather like HUGE playing cards. When I have visitors, I'm able to offer them a choice of games.

Doesn't take up much space either

Of course that's after they've played "Xiama" and "Magnetic"

Peter -- well, that's a creative idea. I can see you offering them to your guests -- pick a game, any game?

You do what!! You cut them up

I feel faint. Well - not really. But the idea of cutting one of my game boxes up is not somewhere I would go.

I think they are art like record album covers and I also love the way they look on my shelves like books. I also store everything in each box. I wouldn't have a problem getting a JC only game - I have plenty of those too - but I do yearn for the box to some of them like The Neverhood and a few others.

I guess you are either into boxes or not

Laura

Poor boxes.

Yeah. How would you like to be chopped in half, have your guts removed, and then have your front pasted to your back.

That's pretty much how I feel every morning.

Wow, I now forgot what the original question was to start this thread, but it was funny reading.

I have over 300 games in my collection and have every box unless it came just in a jewel case. I have flattened all of them except the ones that could not be flattened. I have a special box for those. Thank God games don't come in boxes that you cant break down anymore. Anyway they are all in a total of 10 big storage boxes.

AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Poor boxes! <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" />

Guess I shouldn't tell you that I'm in the process of throwing out about about 50 games boxes, huh?

Don't worry Core - they'll go fast and without much pain

Syd, honey how about throwing some my way...I have a few that I am looking for.

Just in case anyone is deciding to throw their boxes away, I will pay $1.50 for box plus shipping cost.

The Dig
Mummy Tomb of Pharaoh
Myst Exile
Gabrile Knights 3
The Last Express

I suppose it is pretty obvious why everyboy is complaining about how hard games are to find boxed... Because they throw out the boxes!

I was hesitating, but I'm now convinced. I'm going to bring my game boxes into my bedroom and put myself in storage.

Syd.....NOOOOOOOOOOOOO...Please don't throw them away! I am also looking for some game boxes! <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" />

Ooh What game boxes are you throwing away? I want some too. <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> Please Syd - let us have your trash - please

Becky,

Now that's a great idea. People may laugh - but when they see our awesome boxes and in such pristine shape - that'll wipe that smirk right off their faces!

Well, while we're on the topic, the only boxes I've ever kept are the Myst, Riven, and Exile boxes. The only one I don't have is the RealMyst box so if anyone is willing to part - please let me know. Thanks

I just found Lost Secret of the Rainforest last week and the box had been cut up, the front and back panels carefully clipped out and along with the contents of the game, all dumped in a ziplock bag. The good news was the pretty rare clue book was included.

Myself, I would no more throw away a game box than I would a vinyl lp album cover. It's part of the art product. The people who write, create, develop, sell and distribute these things lavish a lot of time, energy and money on the packaging... Some of my best friend work in product packaging. :-)

Well... I think that I'm just the sort of person who would obsessively hoard the boxes if I could. Thing is, I live in a pretty small flat, and there's just no more room to store anything. So, a while ago, I took all my games (I don't even have that many) out of their boxes and threw the boxes away. I had to steel myself to do it, but I did it. And that meant I could buy more games to fit on the extra shelf space!

I don't like doing it, though. So I actually like it when a game only comes in a small jewel case, or when the jewel case is in a box that's no bigger than the case (like Nancy Drew). Then, I get to keep the box and still have room on the shelf. I really don't like it when a game comes in a huge, half-empty, pretty box.

Oh Dear.
I must be sad....all the King's quest and Broken Swords and Riven and Rama and Curse of Monkey Island on the Comp...playing at least 3 of them in tandam....And, I sit here reading about saving Game Box's, Thinks !! do I buy the Games because I like the Box's ?
Nah !
Me I would consider it sacrilage sp. to destroy or throw away a Box...all mine are stored in a spare Bedroom with a great big Ingersol padlock on the door...nobody's going to get at mine.

Love it when games come in dvd cases.

I don't. There's nowhere to put your notes when you've finished the game. I like to keep everything about the game in the box.

Ladybug, we have medicine for that.

Actually, I'll try it first and if I empty my boxes of game boxes (with games if played, without if not) I'll let you know.

I guess this is genetic, I have boxes in the attic filled with my grown, married, moved-out son's old Japanese anime models unbuilt and in boxes. His wife will NOT let me bring them to their house. How uncivil.

Hey Howard,

This is one disease I hope they never find a cure for. I'm already too far gone
