I regret doing this for everygame I have that is in cartridge form I have thrown away. When I was younger I never thought how cool the boxed look or the colored manual that would come with the game. Now some years later I am trying to get boxed copies of game again and all what I have right now are super castlevania IV, Link to the past, and a japanese version of Yoshi's story. So I ask this has this happened you do you regret doing this I know I have the boxes just look so cool. So with that I plan on collecting them again my best chance is the swap meat(meet? whatever) and game dude.

I flatten the boxes but I do not throw them away.
However, a long while ago, my parents threw many away when we moved away from the old house, so I'm afraid I do not have many of my old ones.

I try to keep most of mine but many of my older games lost their boxes over time due to moves, space saving and other shit.

I'd say my Xenogear, Black Label... but I let a friend borrowed it and he cracked it. I'm thinking of throwing it away and putting the discs into a dvd case, with a new cover.

Talking about boxes though... I have the cover to Shadow Hearts 2... but one of the DVDs is missing. Damn thing is probably in my PS2 which I have no idea where.

I hate some of these boxes though. Like Pool of Radiance. pretty cool game, but bugs all over... the box is like 2 foot long. It's like a collector's edition.

This is for everyone what are some of your favorite gameboxes I think it would be fun if we stated some of them.I only have three cartridge based games but alot of disked based so I would go and say. Tales of the abyss for the 3ds, and y's game box for the psp, soul calibur II gc, soul calibur 5 special edition bookthingy, I just remembered I have final fantasy legendIII/adventure with manuals, and revenge of shinobi for the genesis. I love dragon quest 8's boxart and such. And the big kahuna of my collection are Suikoden II,a signed copy of mgs:peace walker and a signed copy of zone of the ender 2: the second runner by kojima himself who apparently has a handshake equivalent to a wet dog(don't ask me that was my brother) and those are some of my favorites.

I have the box for Bubble Bobble on NES but I don't have the cart. It is a mystery.

Carts that I bought for NES and SNES usually didn't had boxes (I traded them from friends and bought used ones).
Though I had few boxes for several SNES games (all used except MK3) and still keep them.

I know I didn't intentionally throw any of my NES or SNES boxes away, but they had to have been tossed during spring cleaning or something when I was a kid. But then again, I always ended up getting rid of my games to trade up for a newer system (something I wished I never did).

The only game box I can't find that kind of annoys me is for CV64. Somehow I held onto the box and manual (and game) all these years, but I can't find the box for the life of me now. Probably have to get another complete copy one of these days.
It's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but instead it's Who Wants Fried Chicken? I do.

That one's got some cool hand-drawn art on it. Always was one of my favorite N64 boxes.
