I have been waiting for this video! Exceptional collection, and I really like how you put this video together. I really want to do something similar soon, you've definitely given me and extra kick in the butt towards that!
Great collection! The only thing that stood out for me was that you said you "lost" so many hours with certain games. I'd suggest you gained them. Losing those hours suggests you could have done something better with your time.
Back in the 90s publishers included all kinds of neat "feelies" and awesome box art as a way to offer a better service than piracy. Now publishers include DRM that cripples their own products, is anti consumer, punishes paying customers, and worst of all fails to thwart pirates anyway. It's a clear demonstration of the shift from enthusiastic publishers, to greedy corporate publishers. Fortunately, the independent movement and the ability to self publish is gradually pushing PC publishing back into the realm of enthusiast.
Great games, my friends and I would always get together and have LAN parties with our PCs... some great times and this really brings me back to those days
man....I never own big boxes for pc games and I think I never will but seeing this..brings tears to my eyes. Those years they put some much loves into them that is really awesome to see them, most for the first time (for me at least). That's one of the things I love about collecting, to show new gamer's generations how it was to be a gamer on the older days. Keep making these amazing videos MJ!
There is nothing like that feeling on youtube when you discover a new channel you fucking love. Got a lot of videos to go through now. Great video MJR.
I was a console gamer growing up. PC gaming was too expensive for me and for whatever reason seemed way out of my league. But I LOVED browsing (drooling) over the boxes when I'd go to stores. The cover art in a lot of cases was absolutely gorgeous and inspiring. It really made my imagination go wild. I always wondered how awesome the games must have been. I'm extremely envious of anyone who grew up a PC gamer. Great video!
this is an awesome video. PC game boxes are so awesome, they go all out with the extras. And, the art work on the covers are so mysterious and intriguing. it just isn't the same after it got all digital. I hope you do another PC games video.
Big Boxes are the LPs of PC games along with the swag. The cover art of Eye of the Beholder series stained my young brain on the shelves of Babbage's, but a few of these I had totally forgotten about. Thanks, great vid.
Thanks so much for these awesome videos. My girlfriend and I have a decent collection and now know there are so many others that appreciate old games as much as we do! Love from England man!
WHOA WHOA YOU WERE A MEMBER OF TRIP CYCLONE????? I loved that aspect of Shivers 2!!!!! I loved how clues were in the songs!!!!! Oh my god I'm freaking out!!!!! I loved "Was I Even There?" Holy.....
MetalJesusRocks did you ever play the game GORE it was similar to unreal tournament I loved it and have always wanted to know if you played it it was online matchmaking heaven haha hope to hear back ! love the channel
It's the best day of the week! When MJR posts a new video! I'm not much of a PC person, but i really enjoyed this video. Now I at least have a little bit of knowledge of what I'm looking at when I run into these PC games at thrift stores. Keep up the great work.
It's good to collect what you like - thanks again for your time and energy. Great information and good to see all the old games from the day. Now a days we don't get such cool stuff with the games - I believe that enhanced the game play a bit more.
Hey, MetalJesus! I would just like to say the quality and the content of your videos are always spot on. You are a true game collector and an awesome dude!
hey Metal Jesus because of you I ended up picking up a sealed System Shock 2 in the box at a thrift store. Normally I would have passed on it. THANKS!!!
Such a bad ass colection, all that extra shwag in the boxes really makes it feel like you're getting a game with alot of love and thought put in to it.
i am so jealous of your might and magic games! my family couldn't afford a PC when I was growing up, so when I finally got one, the might and magic games were all that I had. 6 7 and 8 had me glued for years.
That was a fantastic video MJR! Went in late to work just to finish watching it; just sucked me in - and I don't even do much PC gaming! Thanks so much for sharing man - always enjoy your videos. Keep up the awesome work!
I was having a crappy day at work today and getting a notification that you uploaded a new video made my day! I love your channel. Keep up the good work!
Great episode, i'm a big fan of PC games from back in the 90's and have a nice selection. It was nice seeing the way you run your games :) great stuff!
Totally inspired me to start collecting PC games in box. I used to have so many, but lost a lot of them when my family and I moved around the US. Once I get a gaming room established, I want to start collecting again. Thanks MJ!
Awesome! A lot of memories in your collection. I bought Full Throttle because of Sam and Max. Tie fighter was ridiculously addictive and the original Diablo blew my mind at the time! I regret getting rid of all those old PC games and boxes years ago. Keep the vids coming, man, and I'll keep watching. You rock!
I too worked at Sierra On-Line in Bellevue late 96 Holiday - Jan 97 Holiday. My 1st Helpdesk job. Great videos and homage to old school gaming, my man! :)
You inspired me to get into big box PC collecting i love the artwork and overall package you get and you can find some amazing deals looking forward to the hunt
My eyes literally glowed when I saw your CD of Subculture. Amazing game which I spent hours and hours in my childhood and which I recently started to play again. A decent scavange/mercenary/ submarine game.
For the vast majority of my life, I didn't own (or rather my family didn't own) a PC or Laptop powerful enough to play games of the time. Technically... I still don't, but thankfully a lot of games don't require crazy-high specs. Anyway, I love videos like this from both you and Lazy Game Reviews because it lets me experience games I haven't played before, or a friend owned the game and I could only play it at their house. Seeing LGR's comment below, I'm looking forward to his possible upcoming collection video. This was a great video, and loved seeing your crazy huge collection! I'll never have one that big, but I'll hopefully be able to get ahold of *SOME* of these games one day to play around on :)
Superb collection and tour matey - as you know im not really into RPGs but certainly played a lot of the big box pc adventure games when I was growing up :) My favourites were probably Sam and Max, the Police Quest series, Simon the Sourcerer, Wily Beamish to name a few.. :)
I grew up in a very "anti-nintendo" household and my dad was a programmer in the 80's and 90's so this is a huge trip down memory road for me. We had tons of PC games, we used to go to this place called Egghead Software and get games all the time, played some cool stuff back in the day like some of the Battletech games, TMNT Manhattan Missions, Silpheed, Thexder, Hero's Quest and some other sleeper games. Great stuff. I still have most of those old games and a bunch of stuff from the late 90's and early 2000's. So much cool swag came with those old PC games. I wear a sweet pin that came with one of the Battletech games on a blazer for funsies when I have to dress formal, so damn cool.
Ace Frehley guards my game room too. Man it does not seem all that long ago when i was playing those great pc games and spending way to much time to get the sound to work. Great video.
I recently picked up the Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter expansion along with nearly the entire Baldur's Gate series in box at my local Half Price Book s store. REALLY lucky catch. Any chance you are a fan of the Disciples series?
Not a lot of people know about the Crimson skies, especially not the original PC version. Thank you for showing it, I hope to see more cult classics and hidden gems in the future!
Full throttle. Wow. What a classic, had my first sleepless night playing that game ! the final jump was such a pain to figure out. Way cool game you have my friend
Subscribed! great collection man, I have a lot of those titles myself, especially the old rpgs, definitely a good amount of fetishism involved in collecting all those big ol' boxes full of stuff, just like vinyl collections. We used to get so much more when buying games/records back in the day, now it's just some quickly thrown together boxart on a small plastic box and a 10 page crappy generic manual.
I was mostly a console gamer and only dabbled into PC games for the heavy hitters (Doom, Sim City, Starcraft, Diablo). It's nice to see such a great collection of games I never got a chance to own.
I highly recommenced "DOSBox Game Launcher" for PC. I use it myself to organize all my old school games, by title, genre, even developer and year. It's a Library/Manager & Auto Launcher. No coding needed, simply double click any title you have loaded into it and it starts it up in dosbox. An added bonus is screen shots when highlighting a title (you add these), it can help big time in remembering games. Great video MJR. I want those wolfenstein & Chirichan Pirat Clan patches - Very Cool
That's a mighty fine loonin' PC Gamer Classic Games Collection Volume One you've got there. One of my favorite PC Gamer discs! Got about 20 years' worth of that on my bookshelf (:
great collection. grew up on pc games after atari st, still play games on pc at age 38. also really was hooked on Phantasmagoria when it was released. that along with zork nemesis were very atmospheric
Great video, old school computer game packaging was the best and is also my favorite. I too foolishly dumped a bunch of boxes from the C64 period and the late 90s PC period. Some have survived though and I am certainly hanging on to them.
Metal Jesus get to record when he looks at his collection. When I look at my collection it’s usually a sad environment and keeps me wondering about why my wife left me
Greetings from Puerto Rico. great tour man! I don't collect much for PC but saw a couple of tittles that have passed through my hands. Again awesome collection and awesome game room. Keep up the great vids.
I had a six foot high cardboard 'Rise of the robots' robot that I had to leave when we moved to Spain, I was gutted to leave him! Great video as always :)
Love what you opened with. I miss the old days of PC gaming where you got cool stuff without an overly pricy collectors edition. And I miss big awesome manuals.
as an old adventurer pc gamer myself, you need to add to your collection games like legend of kyrandia series,simon the sorcerer series,alone in the dark series.These were masterpices and i need to see them in their original boxes.Thx for the great channel!
Hey metaljesusrocks just the fact that you know about full throttle and Sam and Max drives my respect up for you like the motorcycle in full throttle! Good lord I miss those games.
Honestly, I do not understand the appeal to watching over someone's collection. However, I find myself watching at least one of your videos during breakfast or lunch daily. Think it might be the nostalgia factor. The SSI stuff brought back tons of memories. Good stuff.
Awesome to see a boxed Hard Nova. Games like it, Sentinel Worlds: Future Magic, Starflight 1 & 2 and Star Control, are the real forerunners to Mass Effect, which is why I enjoyed the first ME so much, It felt like a sort of paean to those bygone awesome sci-fi classics.
Oh man oh man,, so many good boxed or complete games! I grew up with the NES and then got HEAVY into PC gaming around 95' so I'm seeing a ton of very valuable classics all about here. Unfortunately I have a ton of jewel case (with art/booklet) PC games still but very little boxed ones other than your standard classics like Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Doom II Master Levels, Diablo, Duke 3D, System Shock, etc. But I'm seeing stuff like NOX that I'd love to get my hands on. Lucky lucky! This reminds me to start building up my big box games again!
It's such a shame that I was an Amiga gamer when a lot of those great PC games came out in the late 80s and early 90s. I have a pretty decent collection of boxed titles for those older games on the C-64 and Amiga, but my collection of older PC games is pretty slim. As always, great stuff MJ!
The artwork is fantastic! The only dos games I have is Sierra collector editions, that's pretty much all I played on the Pc, other than Warcraft III. These games were a nightmare before DosBox, whoever made that, we thank you! lol
This video brings back so many great childhood memories. Thank you Jesus! :P
I have been waiting for this video! Exceptional collection, and I really like how you put this video together. I really want to do something similar soon, you've definitely given me and extra kick in the butt towards that!
I fully expect to see an action figure guarding your collection in your video too. Let's start a trend! :)
KallaMigCP Thanks for the heads up about Reddit. I headed over there just now
Get on it LGR, I love your videos also. I am curious to see how big your collection is.
your videos are awesome... your my favorite person on youtube
Great collection! The only thing that stood out for me was that you said you "lost" so many hours with certain games. I'd suggest you gained them. Losing those hours suggests you could have done something better with your time.
I'm not a collector, but I still have my big box C&C Red Alert and Aftermath expansion. I love that game!
Back in the 90s publishers included all kinds of neat "feelies" and awesome box art as a way to offer a better service than piracy. Now publishers include DRM that cripples their own products, is anti consumer, punishes paying customers, and worst of all fails to thwart pirates anyway. It's a clear demonstration of the shift from enthusiastic publishers, to greedy corporate publishers.
Fortunately, the independent movement and the ability to self publish is gradually pushing PC publishing back into the realm of enthusiast.
We are in the dark ages of the games industry to be sure.
Jagged Alliance 2 is my favorite game of all time, nice to see you have it in your collection aswell!
Great games, my friends and I would always get together and have LAN parties with our PCs... some great times and this really brings me back to those days
It has a reason, I prefer the 90s and the early 2000s over today, when it comes to games... Great video MJR \m/
Wow, I've literally played all of those Sierra games and most of the SSI games. Growing up with a 286/12 FTW!
back when it cost like $3k for a PC :P
sinephase
Back when computers (PC's) literally doubled in power every 18months.
man....I never own big boxes for pc games and I think I never will but seeing this..brings tears to my eyes. Those years they put some much loves into them that is really awesome to see them, most for the first time (for me at least).
That's one of the things I love about collecting, to show new gamer's generations how it was to be a gamer on the older days. Keep making these amazing videos MJ!
Man I caught a glimpse of Bioforge in that cd binder, and all these great memories of plying through that game came flooding back. Great vid MJR
There is nothing like that feeling on youtube when you discover a new channel you fucking love. Got a lot of videos to go through now. Great video MJR.

MetalJesusRocks did you ever play the game GORE it was similar to unreal tournament I loved it and have always wanted to know if you played it it was online matchmaking heaven haha hope to hear back ! love the channel

That PC collection is epic. Wow! So many classics that bring back memories!
I started collecting pc games in 2018. It's amazing to see how many heavy hitters you had already collected back in 2014!
I was having a crappy day at work today and getting a notification that you uploaded a new video made my day! I love your channel. Keep up the good work!
the extras in some of those boxes are awesome. i think it's a good thing that you cover more PC stuff on your channel.
Great episode, i'm a big fan of PC games from back in the 90's and have a nice selection. It was nice seeing the way you run your games :) great stuff!

Keep the vids coming, man, and I'll keep watching. You rock!
Great to see the old MechWarrior games in there! Those games have fantastic soundtracks which I still listen to today.
Great video! I'm just now starting to getting into old pc collecting. I watched my Mom play a lot of these. So much great stuff.
Skip this video ? This is why I love your channel :) Don't stop making these big box games are awesome.
This was very informative! I don't have a huge PC game collection but it's something that I'm growing very slowly over time.
really enjoyed this, it bought back some very happy memories from my early PC days
I remember staring at all of these cases at Software ETC and CompUSA back in the day! Awesome collection, dude.
I too worked at Sierra On-Line in Bellevue late 96 Holiday - Jan 97 Holiday. My 1st Helpdesk job. Great videos and homage to old school gaming, my man! :)
That was an excellent video, seriously, please keep on bringing old pc games love!
You inspired me to get into big box PC collecting i love the artwork and overall package you get and you can find some amazing deals looking forward to the hunt
I'm sooo jealous of your gold boxed SSI games! I may start my own collection of them.
Huddison Am I so HAPPY to have these in my collection. I always wanted them as a kid!
MetalJesusRocks I had a couple of them on my C64 - Champions of Krynn was my personal fav.
Love your videos. It's a good format, there's heaps of cool games, and you just seem like a really nice dude.
As always, this was a fantastic video. Keep on doing what you do, man.
I loved buying games in the 90's. The boxes had so much cool stuff!
I seriously miss those old artworks. Books, videogames, movies.... part of the fun of buying something was the cool artwork.
What an awesome collection. I was really happy to see you had Terra Nova. For me, that game blew my mind at the time.
Great collection! Have a lot of this games too, great memories from my childhood!
Greetings from Brazil!
Great collection you have.It's always nice to see those bigbox titles that I missed out on.
love the big boxes, its amazing to think back in the days that we used to hate the amount of space they would take up, i miss my big boxes.
love the collection the size of those boxes and the artwork and designs on them
Very informative and great to see the classics...looking forward to some game footage and more information in your next video.
Wow you have so many of the games I used to play in the 90s. Loved the video!
My eyes literally glowed when I saw your CD of Subculture. Amazing game which I spent hours and hours in my childhood and which I recently started to play again. A decent scavange/mercenary/ submarine game.

Love this video of your PC games nothing better than Old games whether they are PC or console they are just alot of memories.
3:42 my all time favorite. You have an amazing collection. Never knew there existed Doom2 screensaver. Great video thanks for sharing. :)
CrysisFear
Heck yeah! I just bought a big box copy on ebay last week.
Superb collection and tour matey - as you know im not really into RPGs but certainly played a lot of the big box pc adventure games when I was growing up :)
My favourites were probably Sam and Max, the Police Quest series, Simon the Sourcerer, Wily Beamish to name a few.. :)
Great video! I remember playing Torin's passage in the mid 90s and loving the box and extra goodies.
I love the old PC videogame boxes! Great video!!!
I grew up in a very "anti-nintendo" household and my dad was a programmer in the 80's and 90's so this is a huge trip down memory road for me.

Metal J I love your videos and you seem like such a nice guy! I'm trying to get all my friends to watch your videos. FROM YOUR UK FANS!!
I recently picked up the Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter expansion along with nearly the entire Baldur's Gate series in box at my local Half Price Book s store. REALLY lucky catch. Any chance you are a fan of the Disciples series?
That is an awesome collection, I love boxed games. Actually discovered that I still have a box for Dungeon Keeper with the manual today!
Not a lot of people know about the Crimson skies, especially not the original PC version. Thank you for showing it, I hope to see more cult classics and hidden gems in the future!
Awesome collection!! Thanks for sharing and being consistent with your video uploads, I really enjoy them = )
Full throttle. Wow. What a classic, had my first sleepless night playing that game ! the final jump was such a pain to figure out. Way cool game you have my friend
Cool video, I have to say my favorite old school video games were mail order monsters, wasteland, and the leisure suit Larry games. So much fun
Subscribed! great collection man, I have a lot of those titles myself, especially the old rpgs, definitely a good amount of fetishism involved in collecting all those big ol' boxes full of stuff, just like vinyl collections. We used to get so much more when buying games/records back in the day, now it's just some quickly thrown together boxart on a small plastic box and a 10 page crappy generic manual.
I was mostly a console gamer and only dabbled into PC games for the heavy hitters (Doom, Sim City, Starcraft, Diablo). It's nice to see such a great collection of games I never got a chance to own.
I highly recommenced "DOSBox Game Launcher" for PC. I use it myself to organize all my old school games, by title, genre, even developer and year. It's a Library/Manager & Auto Launcher. No coding needed, simply double click any title you have loaded into it and it starts it up in dosbox. An added bonus is screen shots when highlighting a title (you add these), it can help big time in remembering games. Great video MJR. I want those wolfenstein & Chirichan Pirat Clan patches - Very Cool
Been collecting big box pc games for about a year.. great video..hope to have a collection like yours one day...
I could never skip any if ur videos metal Jesus !
T_T ... I miss my PC old box PC games. The beautiful artwork and the stuff you would get with them.
That's a mighty fine loonin' PC Gamer Classic Games Collection Volume One you've got there. One of my favorite PC Gamer discs! Got about 20 years' worth of that on my bookshelf (:
great collection. grew up on pc games after atari st, still play games on pc at age 38.
also really was hooked on Phantasmagoria when it was released. that along with zork nemesis were very atmospheric
Great video, old school computer game packaging was the best and is also my favorite. I too foolishly dumped a bunch of boxes from the C64 period and the late 90s PC period. Some have survived though and I am certainly hanging on to them.
Metal Jesus get to record when he looks at his collection. When I look at my collection it’s usually a sad environment and keeps me wondering about why my wife left me
Greetings from Puerto Rico. great tour man! I don't collect much for PC but saw a couple of tittles that have passed through my hands. Again awesome collection and awesome game room. Keep up the great vids.
The rock group "Trip Cyclone" that's awesome! I enjoyed Shivers very much you guys made a great game.
I had a six foot high cardboard 'Rise of the robots' robot that I had to leave when we moved to Spain, I was gutted to leave him! Great video as always :)
Awesome collection. PC games could definitely get away with crazier boxes than consoles! Which is also the reason I enjoy collecting vinyl!
I'm not a pc gamer, but I always enjoy listening to a bit of pc gamer history. I am literally unaware of some of the games that were released on pc.
Love what you opened with. I miss the old days of PC gaming where you got cool stuff without an overly pricy collectors edition. And I miss big awesome manuals.
as an old adventurer pc gamer myself, you need to add to your collection games like legend of kyrandia series,simon the sorcerer series,alone in the dark series.These were masterpices and i need to see them in their original boxes.Thx for the great channel!
Hey metaljesusrocks just the fact that you know about full throttle and Sam and Max drives my respect up for you like the motorcycle in full throttle! Good lord I miss those games.
Nice to see someone that talks about great PC-games. It seems they are a bit forgotten compared to their console counterparts...
Great games, must find some of them
3:25 artwork like that just looks sooooooooooooooo cool!
Wow these are some real historical pieces of art right there!
Honestly, I do not understand the appeal to watching over someone's collection.
However, I find myself watching at least one of your videos during breakfast or lunch daily. Think it might be the nostalgia factor. The SSI stuff brought back tons of memories.
Good stuff.
wow you rock jesus! i had flashbacks of going to electronic boutiques in the 90s
I remember going to Electronic Boutiques, CompUSA and Software Etc for all my PC gaming goodness. Those were the days!
Awesome to see a boxed Hard Nova. Games like it, Sentinel Worlds: Future Magic, Starflight 1 & 2 and Star Control, are the real forerunners to Mass Effect, which is why I enjoyed the first ME so much, It felt like a sort of paean to those bygone awesome sci-fi classics.
Oh man oh man,, so many good boxed or complete games!
I grew up with the NES and then got HEAVY into PC gaming around 95' so I'm seeing a ton of very valuable classics all about here.
Unfortunately I have a ton of jewel case (with art/booklet) PC games still but very little boxed ones other than your standard classics like Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Doom II Master Levels, Diablo, Duke 3D, System Shock, etc.
But I'm seeing stuff like NOX that I'd love to get my hands on.
Lucky lucky!
This reminds me to start building up my big box games again!
It's such a shame that I was an Amiga gamer when a lot of those great PC games came out in the late 80s and early 90s. I have a pretty decent collection of boxed titles for those older games on the C-64 and Amiga, but my collection of older PC games is pretty slim.
As always, great stuff MJ!
Starting watching and thought; "He'd BETTER show Full Throttle!"
You did... Huzzah!
"I'm not putting my lips on THAT"
I`m not a big PC gamer, but i love the big boxes :D
Awesome collection you`ve got..!!
Haha! Totally forgot about the days when we used to have to buy screen-savers on discs. That Doom II one looks awesome.
The artwork is fantastic! The only dos games I have is Sierra collector editions, that's pretty much all I played on the Pc, other than Warcraft III.
These games were a nightmare before DosBox, whoever made that, we thank you! lol
