Topic: Have you ever thrown away game boxes?Do you even like them? Do you have any?

[Munchy]

Keep most games in their own big boxes with their brethren, and the game boxes in separate boxes.

The oldest ones I have tend to be either the plastic Genesis cases (love those for their old VHS-ness) or the few, few cardboard ones, which are the GBA Castlevanias, Mega Man & Bass (got this for the Famicom with box and manual too actually), and Rockman World 5. Most of the new DVD cases either get put in their proper box, or if I'm lazy, on a shelf in my room.

I moved out of my parent's house 4 years ago and my step dad threw away my Original Sega Saturn Nocturne in The Moonlight w/ Complete Jewel Case and...  my JP Sega Saturn console...   WTF PEOPLE WHY?? !!

I remember moving, My sister threw away my entire PS2 Collection's Cases, I was never more disappointed.
Now, I only buy games with boxes and Booklets, and for classic games, I have a Book store that sells games, every once in a while they'll get some Older games with boxes, I usually prey on those to buy

Doom 64 too this day I am still too scared to play this game have you beat this yet? I freaking love your collection does anyone else have a collection like this with pics?

I love DOOM 64. Beat it some time ago and still play through it every couple of years. It's definitely a spoooooky game. Low lighting, really unnerving dark ambient music... It's way more terrifying than the original games, although the PlayStation ports are pretty frightening also due to Aubrey Hodges' music.

He also did the score for Quake 64, which, despite my love for Nine Inch Nails, I actually like more than their original score. Makes me wish I could play the PC original with the option of hearing his tunes. I'm sure there's some way of doing it, I'm just not a tech savvy kinda guy.

But yeah, ever since receiving SNES games for Christmas, I never got rid of any game boxes. My NES boxes got either banged up or thrown out. 'Course, a lot of our NES games got stolen... Good ones, too. But I was much younger then. The few NES boxes I have are only around because they were inside of an unused cabinet for decades and I fished them out a few years ago, all bent and smushed to hell, but existing. Glad I still have my DuckTales box. Remember getting that for Christmas. Pretty sure I didn't get any games, but all the gifts I got were rad and I was perfectly content with what my parents gave me. Then came digging in the stocking over the fireplace. Normally there'd just be chocolate and maybe a cheap dollar toy. I was incredibly surprised to find...ZOUNDS, A BRAND NEW NES GAME AND IT'S DUCKTALES! :O Along with some chocolate gold coins, which was very apt. :)

But yeah, seeing game collections is fun. And somehow, seeing collections of older cartridge-based systems and their boxes is far more appealing than how many CD- or DVD-based games are lined up on a shelf. Carts and boxes have so much more appeal to me, aesthetically, as do the manuals from that time since they were often full-color with cool illustrations and that.

Right to tell the truth I prefer the less "dark" more action focused version like the snes version than the n64 version got it from a friend in football years ago in high school for like 10$ or something had to black it out due to all the gang signs and stuff now adays the back part is switched with my japanese cartridge of yoshi story (the back tabs are different), but I want to get over my fear of doom 64 
Also I love colored manuals it is odd by my brother told asked me today why do I love colored manuals and the reason is because game manuals for some part just have so much in them nothing like most of todays stuff so bland and boring.

So I was getting pissed at how little space was in my closet, including on the shelf. So I flattened a lot of the console/handheld boxes and ones for controllers and things, keeping unfolded the ones which were aesthetically pleasing or I just didn't wanna flatten (e.g., the Nomad isn't actually mine, and the GoldenEye PS3 box is sturdy so I placed my flattened handheld boxes in there since they refused to flatten out nicely).

I wanted to put other stuff on the shelf, but I quickly realized just HOW weak that warped board is. ;) So nothing but light boxes could be put up there anyway.

Here are some pics of my re-arranged shelf. :o Looks much more appealing now, and I threw out a lot of junk. Sorry for the blurred camphone quality.
