PC Adventure / Point-n-click big box collection (Sierra, LucasArts, Access, etc.)

Here's my PC adventure game collection, mostly complete, a couple boxes missing a doc or two, or some disks. Mostly focusing on point-and-click titles, disk version whenever possible, plus a few in-betweens like Myst and 7th Guest, but also on platform adventures like Heart of Darkness and Out of This World (looking for a cheap Neverhood at the moment). I started collecting these when I found a box of 30 big box adventure titles at a yard sale and the lady asked for twenty bucks. And there the madness started...

LucasArts and Sierra set (Loom discs sealed, Maniac Mansion sealed)


The rest of em (Normality, Blue Force, and Beneath a Steel Sky sealed)


My prized Access titles


Currently looking for some of the rarer ones like Virtual Stupidity, Duckman: Adventures of a Private Dick (super rare), Zak McKracken, and finishing the Delphine collection (Cruise for a Corpse, Flashback, and Future Wars). Staying far away from the early EARLY Sierra titles (which go for $500 each on the 'Bay). Thanks for looking! Feel free to PM me for trade/sale comments.

 

Very nice indeed. Good luck hunting down the titles you need. What are your favourite titles to play? What did you find hardest to source so far?

I have some LucasArts and Sierra/Origin stuff as part of my Marty collection (FM Towns), buts that's as close as I get to PC gaming. Still at least they are some of the best versions of the games. Zak is the definitive version apparently (not that I've played them all to personally say that).

If you have time, please take a few cover shots. Some amazing artwork on these that I imagine some members here won't have seen and a few would likely appreciate.

 

Wow, nice collection you have there

 

Very nice collection!

If you're after point and click games regardless of the language/region, if you haven't got a copy already or have played it for that fact - I highly recommend looking into Clock Tower for Windows95 in it's original big box (if you don't mind adventure/horror games, that is).

There's something nice about nice condition, old big box games...

 

I'll keep an eye out for Clock Tower. Here are some cover shots. There are tons, and posting them here takes a while, so I invite you to check out my Imgur account at http://ericjacobus.imgur.com/. I'll most acquisitions as I get them.

Got Noctropolis yesterday, Amazon find



Access titles:



Just got my UK Beneath a Steel Sky PC box yesterday



And scored a complete Out of This World (aka Another World)

 

very nice collection

and finding 30 big box adventures at a yard sale in 1 go, amazing

closest I got to that was finding a LucasArts Adventure pack which has 10 of their games on 1 cd, lol

did you get much from yard sales/fleamarkets apart from that 1 find?

 

Almost no yard sales have them, since I'm in Richmond, CA and nobody out here bought point-n-click PC games, and if they did they threw the boxes out. You gotta go to yard sales in cities where there were a lot of doctors and lawyers because they're the ones who bought adventure titles for their kids and kept the boxes in good shape. Had some good luck at thrift shops, found most of the Space Quest series for $1 each or so, and my FM Towns Loom was eight bucks at a Goodwill in San Francisco. Everything else, sadly, has been 'Bay trollin'

 

I nearly fainted!

This is a thing of beauty!

 

this is definitely something you don't see very often, and I commend people like you for it. There is not a big scene of big box PC games, and sometimes the amount of extras that come in em are quite nice. You also have quite a lot of nice titles in here, and in overall great to fantastic shape. Good thing you hit up those joints that doctors originally owned em because kids for sure would have lost all that stuff lol.

Good luck with the rest of your finds.

Some of the rarer acquisitions of late

Big Red Adventure (PC)





OnEscapee (Amiga original)







Hopkins FBI (PC - sealed)





Hopkins FBI (OS2 and BeOS)









Future Wars (PC - Interplay)





Layer Section (PC - sealed) Not a point-n-click but whatever, my favorite SHMUP

 

Very nice collection!
That sealed Hopkins FBI was on ebay last month, right?
I thought about buying it but I decided against, I already have the BeOS and OS/2 versions, I don't really need the Windows one, although having a big box to store those would be nice eventually.

 

Yep!

 

I'm not a big fan of PC gaming and a lot of these games are way before my time but I have to admit, those old big box PC titles do look nice.
Awesome collection you have there mate.

 

Nice collection. That era of box art is fantastic.

 

Thanks all, for better or for worse, not many people are collecting this stuff. So while it's hard to come across lots of the titles, they're often pretty cheap. So, call it an investment

 

A little reshuffling and a lot of new acquisitions.
