WOW :eek:
My congrats, your collection is superb .
Welcome to Abandonia Tseki!

[Rogue]

Nice collection!

[Tervez]

And to think the only old game I really own is Ultima VII: Serpent Isle...

Don't blame me, I was too young to purchase stuff like that when they were avaivable!

Welcome to Abandonia, enjoy your stay.

Wow I wish i had the room to store my games in their boxes - I only do that with the 3.5" versions. I got way too many CD games though - I got a big wall rack that holdes 800+ CDs and use a large book case to store my DVD box games. I started neatly packing manuals together though so I can easily find them for each game.

If I ever rent a house I'll definately dedicate a room to something like this - make my work of it to pose all my most rarest games, create shelves that display them nicely.

With so many independent developers and plenty of competition in distribution outlets, PC games had lots of floor space back then. Easily two-thirds of a store three times the size of the current GameStop monopolies was given over to those games, with the rest devoted to applications. It seemed to me much more common back then to find adults searching for games than now, where young teens snicker (through their noses) if anybody over the age of 17 enters a game store. Whom do they think makes the games they play?

In fact, the game portion of the store was divided up by genre: RPGs on one wall, adventure titles over there, strategy titles over there, etc. And most games came with a lot of content back then, too: huge manuals, maps and foldouts, little trinkets, sometimes fake diaries, etc. Some of this of course still occurs, but usually only among indie publishers. I'm working my way now through the PDF manual for Forge of Freedom. Okay, it's not printed out in the download I paid for, but still, it's intense.
