- 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.

that's a fucking museum
I would pay for a tour :)
Let's all go to Fucking museum, and after that we can buy some lunch from the Goddamn Supermarket.
The carpet really ties the room together.

With luck, noone will pee on it.

Fuckin-A
well of course, a room full of BIG boxes would have a nice carpet....
I know theres a lesbian joke here somewhere but I just can't seem to find it
The only person to own more games than a rom site :)

@@ntc5946 ugh there must be guy like you who just had to say that huh, who gives a fuck about the last gamer this is LGR baby... Quality, not quantity.
There is another...who got his name into the Guinness Book of World Records for holding the largest Big Box PC Collection
Well.. Any person who owns any single game technically OWNS more games than a rom site.
That Windows 95 startup jingle remains one of the most powerful nostalgia triggers.
ding ding, DRRRRING!.........ding, ding, ding ding....
I recall that ours actually played backwards for some reason. No idea why.
Yes, like warm, homemade, freshly baked, chocolate chip cookies! :)
Or like the plasticky smell of the case holding the 25-ish floppy disks my version of Win95 came in.
Did you literally buy an entire RadioShack from 1999? How is it possible to amass such a pristine collection??
he probably bought an old windows 7 desktop on eBay
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.
"I like big boxes and I cannot lie" You're beautiful for saying that.
Beautiful collection. I miss pc physical releases so bad.
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.
I can only imagine, two years after the zombie apocalypse, a half starved survivor hunting for food breaks in to this room....
Barely Einstein it's the easter egg room of the zombie apocalypse
Makes good kindling.
The Onyx Viper You would make good food
I guess if the survivor loved games he would die happy- hungry, but happy.
Man. All these things I recognize just takes me back to better days.
> Cosmopolitan leads immediately to "Life and Death"
How wildly and accidentally appropriate.
I immediately thought back to "Tombstone"
I'm lost here. Gimme a little hint please.
Initial D has a big box??? That's rare as hell!
Even more rare is the fact that it's Initial D: Typing Trainer! A real oddball of edutainment.
Lazy Game Reviews Wow that's odd but one of a kind. You must be lucky for getting this!
*googles this* ... holy fudge! that exists ... that's freaking amazing!
*Deja Vu plays*
Lazy Game Reviews have you played it on this channel yet 👀
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:)
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 :)
Keep going , keep going :)
Dajesz, dajesz! Nie przestajesz! ;)
I wish I kept my boxes from when I was younger, I'd love a collection like this as well.
The Win95 sound sent chills down my spine, I haven't heard it in years. Now I'm trying to remember the name of some Leonardo DaVinci game I played in 8th grade...
This one? www.pixelatedarcade.com/games/leonardo-the-inventor-2-0/coverart
Funny seeing the Cobain poster, spent hours upon hours playing Duke 3D with Nirvana playing in the background as a kid.
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.
Amazing! Big box PC game era was legit. Huge manuals, cloth maps, crazy boxes (Ultrabots takes the cake).
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.
Excellent video
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 :)
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.
8:50 Text Adventures/Interactive Fiction grouping is a no brainer for some of the games in that section: Ya got Time & Magic, and quite a few Infocom games just sitting there.
I love those big box pc games.
Back in the early 90s when i was a 24/7 gamer me and my older bro had hundreds of them between us, sadly a lot of them got sold off, I've started collecting them again what will building a retro pc like i had back in the day, yea sure you can download 1000s through torrents with doxbox packages but there is nothing like owning the real game...a physical copy and the smell of the 90s as you flick through the manuals, good days.
You know what's driving me nuts? I can't figure out where the door in/out of the room is. For the entire time, it just bothered me.
I imagine he pulls one of the PC boxes and it makes one of the bookcases open up revealing the hidden passage out.
Retro Island Gaming It's the second microcosm Copy he has that does it.
I was trying to figure that out too
storage unit with power? and you ever been in a storage unit place? those things are dusty as f. I'm super curious.
@@TheOutcaster LGR putting that Patreon money to WORK
So many games there that I have memories playing and so many that I thought no one remembered.
"Hey guys just in my storage locker with my newly bought windows 95 pc, but you know what I like better than materialistic things? Knowledge! In Fact I'm a lot more proud of these 7 new bookshelves I had to get put in to hold my Big Box Pc games."
Kunt Destroyer *big box edutainment
Hahahahahahaa nice. Very nice. I love that dude....uhhh..whatever his name is. Damn lambo.
The Longest Journey was another amazing title for it's time, well worth a review also.
How do you fight with dust?
With my fists.
And y'know, air filtration and a microfiber feather duster.
No gorgeous handmaidens? Bummer!
I hope you also wear a nice gaudy apron while doing so.
With an Ak 47 and a desert deagle
Good question! With kindness, I guess...
"Ultima--gotta have that." I'm incredibly glad to see that your sense of completeness is not so over-riding that you'll allow a copy of Ultima IX into your collection, though! :)
That game I've debated getting over the years. Not sure if I want to see it on my shelf every day.
I see a Cobain poster, LGR just got that much cooler.
I was gonna ask if that was Cobain, I second your comment!
Very impressive... And i guess now four years later it's even more impressive..
Yeah it’s gotten bigger than this room can handle. Gotta get a bigger place!
Came for the Sierra collection and specifically Jones in the fast lane. Was not disappointed. Well, a little disappointed you don't have the original Hero's Quest before they changed the named.
This is the greatest PC software collection I've ever seen. Amazing!

librar~1.exe you mean ;)
You most be thinking of lol~1.exe

Like your collection LGR. Hopefully I can find some of those games. Sometimes, after I watch your videos, I find the game I was just watching in a thrift store.
Its 12:34 AM in the phillipines yet im watching an LGR video
That room its a real life time machine... What a trip to my childwood... What a nostalgia feel...
Epic :)
weird seeing you here huh
omg putt-putt, freddi fish and jump start (and also pajama sam, battlefield 1942 & duke nukem) were my childhood until the sims came out. I've never seen them referenced anywhere else before. Brings back fond memories
So, just to confirm.. the only Sonic related big-box titles in your PC collection are:
Sonic & Garfield
Activity pack
Schoolhouse
Sonic R
I did pm you asking about Sonic big-box games a while back but I guess you get inundated with messages.
Yes, I'm a sonic collector, I know its whatever, I have most of the console variants in most regions, but I've seen a few interesting big-boxes pop up on eBay and I knew you'd be the best person to ask about PC stuff.
wow, this is a genuinely impressive display.
i love seeing all the Sierra logos.
I've got two large totes filled to the brim with my (original) PC games, boxes, and manuals from 1993-2010 and i thought THAT was a lot.
Glorious
dude the way you organize your PC games is the way I organizes my VHS and other video media
I would never leave my house...
not that I do anyway...
There was something downright cool about the big boxes and everything in them that digital downloads just can't replicate.
A fucking pristine Deus Ex in there. I nearly choked on my dinner.
SimAnt! SimTunes! Streets of SimCity! SimCopter! Widget Workshop! Marble Drop! Full Tilt Pinball! SimTower!! Man, I loved those Maxis games. Good times. What a collection!!
I didn't realize Crystal Skull was published by Maxis. Neat!
I love The Sims games.
pretty sure you represented every wonderful retro PC game I could have thought of in this game... well, except populous the beginning which was absent from the bullfrog collection. wish I still had my box.
You must have an amazing amount of space in your house, I mean, that room even has the space for another shelf running along the middle if you ever needed that much space. Maybe you should come up with your own Dewey Decimal system for all this.
This collection is not on his house, it's on seperate place. Business storage type solution if I recall right. He explained this on one of his vlog type videos, where he talked about how he separates his home from his work etc.
DARKSTONE! So many fond memories of that on PS1! Never seen it in Big Box form before, really cool.
I know you are a PC guy, but will you do a video tour on your console and console game collection? you collected many many console games only on Thrifts, I'm really curious about that.
I don't have them out on display, don't have the room! Hopefully someday though.
I mainly collect console games and books, so I know how you feel :) Not enough room!
aint nobody got time for that
collecting books is horrible if you don't have the space. I have to stack them 3 deep in a built in closet and still not enough space
Látom nem én vagyok az egyetlen magyar :)
That Mech Commander box really brought smile to my face
So where's that place?
(Just checking)
Out in space with CGR's Intergalactic Space Arcade
between north carolina and south carolina.
Lazy Game Reviews Don't forget the Satellite of Love! lol
Earth right?
Looks like a storage unit.
So effing awesome! I just unboxed by old school box of boxes that I've had stored for 25years. I am SOOO glad I saved all that and so much thanks to my mom for letting me keep it in a loft! The waves and waves of nostalgia I got from just going through what I saved...indescribable. I can remember buying and specifically playing nearly each one of the games.
While not nearly as impressive as yours, I can't wait to setup my museum.
Anyone else think it would be interesting to see LGR's console game collection?
I'd be happy to show them once I get a place to display them!
I'm running out of space for my console games (mostly because I have 29 Wii U games), are there any small, budget shelves you would recommend?
Game Domain I K E A
Your channel name is Lazy Game Reviews but your videos are never done lazily tbh :) Been watching your videos lately and having lots of fun, just finished your thrifting videos. Thank you for creating awesome content!
Mechwarrior review, please!
I've been waiting for him for several months.
It took me forever to watch this video. Every time i saw a game i'd totally forgotten about i'd have to go take a youtube trip down memory lane. So many good games.
What is Atomic Age by SoftKey? A quick google couldn't bring up anything besides blank amazon listings. It sounded interesting though.
It's one of those interactive encyclopedia CD-ROMs, focused on the Manhattan Project and goes into the Cold War!
Sounds very interesting. I'll keep an eye out. Thanks for the info!
I got Atomic Age on the coverdisk of a UK magazine way back, never seen any mention of it online or elseware until I saw it in LGR`S collection. Maybe I should upload it somewhere if its rare and of interest to anyone.
Damn i wish i had kept my physical copies of my games, getting so nostalgic now. I had a lot of these boxes i just got rid of when i moved out.
You and metal Jesus should get together
We're trying to make it happen!
I would pay to watch that!
PoolFullOfFools yeah they would a great couple ;)
NO HE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING WITH RADICAL REGGIE
OH GOD PLEASE
It's straight-up surreal to see my old Trespasser box on your shelf. Freakin' amazing. I'm glad it's got a good home after sitting in some box in my basement for 10 years.
Damn I am jealous
Nice collection! Seeing all of The Sims Expansion packs brings back bad memories. If you ever had to reformat your PC, you had to take a week off work to get The Sims up and running again with all expansions.
anyone else having weird glitches around 5:35?
TH-cam did some funky things to the 4K video file, looked fine before uploading :/
Phew, I thought it was my graphics card giving up the ghost :D
Looks completely normal to me?
I see, it's just the 360p version that has those glitches, had a download going at the time
_Lolucoca_ 480p too
DUDE , DUUUUUDE, 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
Metal jesus just peed a little
@@jaykelley103 lol what?
Oh geez. Those humongous games like freddy fish and Jumpstart began my PC gaming love
Will you ever review Detroit?
Blisphul808 I don't know what game named Detroit you are referring to. However, I was referring to the old Sierra MS DOS game, that is very similar to a modern game named GearCity.
I think he meant the upcoming David Cage game.
guguy00 Thanks. However, I just recently found out about the David Cage game while looking at E3 related stuff.
So, if you remember some time ago when I asked about a certain game that I can't find anymore in one of your videos? I said something about 2 letter W's on a CD? Well, in the game, it also had it on some walls too. The game is called, "The Day The World Broke". Now I just gotta find a CD and play it! No seriously, this Collection Room Tour unintentionally helped me find the game I was trying to find all these years. Thanks for the tour!
What was one of the hardest boxed games to get?
Possibly the most elusive/valuable is Space Taxi. I got extremely lucky and found it while thrifting once in Illinois, so you might say it wasn't exactly "hard" to get in that case.
One I've probably spent a silly amount of time looking for was Vinyl Goddess From Mars, and even then I still haven't seen an American release and I only found one in Germany!
Dang! Thanks for answering my question!
Personally in my collection, my boxed copy of Commander Keen 6 - Aliens Ate my Babysitter is the most rare. I wonder if he has that one?
Lazy Game Reviews too bad the goodwill is starting to accurately price their old games.
+Music LabMN Yep, you can see it at 14:24 :) That was a hard one to find cheap
This is my childhood/teens in one video. Thank you for this.
This is impressive man! Reminded me of my childhood going into my local pc shop and I would just look at every game on the shelf forever till my mom got annoyed and was ready to leave lol
Commenting from 2021 here, I`ve just watched your video back from 2017 and I must say this is a very small and modest games collection comparing to this year`s one.
you got my respect I saw blackthorne in your collection that is one of my childhood memories
Seeing those backyard sports games really takes me back to when I played them as hand me downs from my older brothers.
"Leading into the Barbie game collection...." "...You gotta have one of those"
Hey, man. Say what you will, but I had a lot of fun playing Barbie Detective with my younger sister. It was her first P&C style game, and kind of a hidden gem among the Barbie games, to be honest. You explored this massive theme park hunting down some criminal and doing puzzles, mini games, and some sort of hidden object thing. It really reminded me of Scooby Doo on the Genesis - minus the fantastic art and Lucas Arts style command system.
Really interestingly, it had some very smooth text to voice playback for player names. Not sure if they had recordings for as many names as they could stuff on the CD, or had some sort of speech generator, but it surprised the hell out of me when we were entering her, and a lady friend of mine's name as our character.
I'm not even a game collector (I only own a handful of games tbh), but I just love your reviews and your voice.
Man, so many games in here that I'd forgotten about...off to game-hunt I go!
Great, I can use this as an index for games I should put on my bucket list.
This is making me super nostalgic for all the computer games I played during my childhood and I now also realize that most of the computer games I had were edutainment games.
I remember seeing that "Links 386" box prominently displayed in stores a lot back in those days. It seemed like such a classy game for people with the latest and fanciest computers.
There's a handful of other game boxes that also stand out to me as icons of retail, like Daggerfall and Test Drive 3, for whatever reason, even though they aren't games I owned back then.
Back like 15 years ago I threw out a bunch of my old PC game boxes, because I arbitrarily decided that everything I kept should fit in one cardboard box. I've come to regret some of the boxes I threw out. Mostly I just have disks/CDs and manuals now but only a few boxes.
I've read LGR mention that he uses Ikea "Billy" bookcases, so this is a good demo of how they look and fit. I've been debating what kind of shelving unit to use for my stuff and how deep the shelves should be. I have a lot of console cartridges (which are pretty shallow) but also some PC stuff that wants more depth. I guess for the sake of efficiency I'm leaning towards deeper shelves even though it would probably make the console cartridges look pretty buried.
I might even challenge my comfort zone and try to build something myself for once in my life. It doesn't look like it would save much money, but at least I'd have control over the dimensions.
Holy crap! I didn't realize you had such a large collection! That was a fun trip down memory lane with a lot of those games. :)
Hey LGR! You need to see how many breaths of air it takes to name all the games in your collection!
OMG Shogo! I loved that game as a kid! I haven't seen that one in ages.
Those Janes Big Box games were my jam back in the late 90s....and Red Alert and Tiberian Sun .....
I can't even count the 100's of hours I played Rocket Jockey when I was a teen. It was a true hidden gem , and no one I have ever talked to has ever even heard of it! you made my day good sir ! Also I bought max payne on release and I still have and use that same mousepad to this day haha!
I keep seeing those boxed Descent games! I would LOVE to see you review the series, or even just the first two games. I'll make you some fan-art for you if you do! *totally not a bribe*
Thumbs up for an update!
Whiplash (I know it with the name Fatal Racing), this one, was one great game, with so many memories..
You made my heart beat faster making me remember all these games...
Midtown Madness, Monster Truck Madness 2, NFS3, POD, Rally Championship, Theme Hospital.... OMG..
Sooo many games there have so much memories in my childhood.. I NEED THOSE GAMES AGAIN!!! LGR please tell GOG guys to have much more games like these in their libraries..
Great collection and congratulations!
Thanks for collecting and showing stuff like these to us.. Keep up the great work man!
Absolutely amazing collection!
So many memories of being in the local gaming store in the nineties dreaming of which game to save up for next.
Omg so many memories. So many hours playing tribes and C&C
OMG! Assassin 2015! jajaja I still have my copy of the game, wich an uncle of mine who used to live in the US bring to México and give it to me when I was a child after notice that the game was the sole reason I keep pushing my father into visiting him every weekend hahaha, thanks for the memories, sorry for the bad english, and greetings from México, I really enjoy your videos mostly because for things like this.
OMG, Hasbro Interactive Tonka!!!! I played that from age 6 to 8. Such nostalgia.
Please do more Big Box content / reviews. Really need more of this in my life! Thank you for all your amazing content which has absolutely made a positive and amazing contribution to my life in the last few years!! THANK YOU !!
OMG KID PIX WAS MY FAVORITE PART OF COMPUTER CLASS BACK IN EARLY 2000'S
