It really is absurd how high big box PC games have risen in value over the past ten years.
Really wasn't that long ago that collecting these was considered laughable by many collectors. Well WHO'S LAUGHING NOW.
* does a Scrooge McDuck dive into pile of PC game boxes *
Lol. Agreed. I got back into collecting my old lost big box pc games about 2 years ago and had to do quite a bit of work to find them all at reasonable prices. Hardest to find was the Wing Commander 3 film tin version but I got it and my collection is complete! Wish I had never gotten rid of my originals when I moved out at 18 though lol.
You are ruining your treasures. :P
@@LungMing23 I have a bunch of my C64 and Amiga boxed games. I really didn't have a PC until 2002.
Gamevet wow! I never got the C64 experience. I’m kinda sad for that after learning about it.
I was lucky to have a next door neighbor with his C64 back then. It was rad. I miss him.
Definitely do more videos about big box pc games! Can't get enough of those :)
Great to see you here!!
I love love love Big Box Games like the rest of the community lol. Man... Awesome art, and a magical time for gaming!
@@delrachdubal Remember all those manuals in Big Box games?
They were basically books.
Especially for the flight simulators.
3:10 the face you make when you realise how expensive these games are
Lahton Wolfgramm 😂😂😂
My rarest computer game is the Akalabeth California Pacific Computer Co., © 1980. version.
A big thanks to local Seattle collector Kevin Ng who let me borrow many of the extremely rare and valuable games in this video! It was a great mix of every publisher and genre and his games you almost never find out in the wild anymore. Such a cool dude!
Thanks so much!! It was an honor to help out! :D
Kevin Ng is good peoples!
@@kevinwng Do you know OneyNG?
Keep going with this. The more obscure and rare PC games, big box or not and whether valuable or not. This stuff is fascinating.
I'm not super into these games but I love learning about them!
I love seeing all the old PC games like this. I missed out since we didnt have a computer back then. I wish there was gameplay footage with these videos though.
3:10 “here’s something you don’t see every day” you’re right, I don’t see this everyday, but I’ll see it every night in my nightmares now so thanks.
This really takes me back to when I was kid. I'll have to see if I still have my sealed shareware and retail games that were passed down to me when I was younger. I know I have a copy of Doom Shareware sealed, Prince of Persia (standard box), Red Baron, and some other early DOS games a lot of which were from Sierra. I've even got a lot of the old shareware compilation CDs like a few editions of 101 Games that had Duke 1, Duke 2, Commander Keen, Crystal Caves, and Corridor 7. It would be cool for me to be able to help out a collector by adding things to their collection that they may not have yet. Seeing this video brought me back to when I was just two years old and my dad was teaching me DOS commands so I could play games on the PC after he went to work because he wouldn't be there to do everything for me. DOS taught me how to read before age three and now 23 years later I'm working as a senior cyber-security analyst. Geeked at birth and such good memories.
Thanks for always making my days better @MetalJesusRocks wish I knew someone half as radical as you.
Thanks for this video. This brings back great memories. Stores who sold PC games in the 90's needed a lot of shelf space to display the large and often irregular shaped boxes. Very cool!
Big box PC games are nothing short of art. My family couldn't afford a gaming pc in the 90s and I can't even count the hours I spent looking at the game boxes. Good memories.
Spencer T I’m sorry to hear that
I loved the video!!.. I'm not a pc guy but it is allways good to know about all kinds of videogames!! 🤘
AHH takes me back! There was something so special about receiving a game in a big box with beautiful artwork and all disks and manuals inside. Or visiting a game shop looking at all the different boxes deciding which one to buy. Maybe it's nostalgia talking but it's an experience you miss with a simple download. Of course at the end of the day it's all about the games though not the packaging.
One thing I'll never forget is the smell when you open up a big box PC game, especially the smell of the manual. Now that's nostalgia.
That box with the mask is creepy I think I'll keep my $150
Dogma as he was turning the box I felt like the eyes were following me! Super creepy.
@@chucklea5898 yeah me too, I thought maybe its supposed to do that? Lol
This is my favorite type of video MJR does.
You do a great job with creating these videos on UA-cam. I really enjoy watching all the different games on PC or console that have been out there. Makes me want to go find and buy them. Dave
MJR talking PC games? Instant click.
Awesome video! Would definitely love to see more big box videos. I'm mainly a console collector myself but I definitely see the draw of big box PC there's so much substance there!
Good lord, man. You had me running all over the house checking my conditions and completeness, since I've managed to collect about half of what you showed here since I started collecting in 1993. Fun video! Do more of these please!
You are such a good guy, and you produce these awesome videos... nothing I'd rather watch when I am on the verge of death hungover on a Saturday morning. Loved the video, and would love to see more of the obscure big box games
Absolutely amazing video. Thanks for making it!
Lol your account fits perfectly with this video
@@nowonmetube We are the account for the facebook group he mentions at the end of the video :-)
@Big Box PC Game Collectors
Aaaaand... subscribed! 😎
That Suspended Infocom box is gorgeous. If a game came packaged like that today it would sell gangbusters.
What an interesting video! This is the type of stuff I rarely ever get to see. Thanks!
do you know what happened with the facebook group?
I LOVE this stuff. Please do more on PC collecting. I grew up with these games but I got them at our local hair salon or super market. The same family owned both and sold pirated versions, complete with printed guides to get past some of the piracy protection. Now I'm trying to collect the games I grew up with and there aren't many videos/resources out there.
"Really cool copy protection". You weren't saying that in the 90s! ;)
^^ TRUTH :)
Loom for a $100? I just sold my compete almost mint for $350 :)
Thanks for this video through my childhood of computer games. My friend had the Gabriel Knight CD release and I remember him letting me borrow it and opening the origami box. And the box of Suspended brought back memories of being in a computer store and seeing those Infocom games on the shelf. I miss the box box PC packaging and how they tried to get your attention. It’s too bad when I worked for a game store that those had mostly faded out, uniform small box PC games had just come into fashion, and soon digital services had PC games removed from stores almost completely soon after. Great nostalgia trip, thanks MJ!
Really liked this video, Do more of these big box PC games videos. Nostalgia is fun
It would be awesome to see the more obscure stuff. Great vid!
I love these videos MJR and would love to see you dig deeper into your more obscure collection of Big Box PC games.
Love your channel seeing all these PC game boxes.. so many memories!
I’m not even PC boxed game collecting myself but seeing this stuff is just so cool! I did brush up against some of these games growing up but this collection simply rocks.
Great video!
I know it may not be easily done, but it would be super cool to see some gameplay of these games and other Big Box titles.
Great video. I wouldn't mind seeing more big box PC game videos. Especially the more obscure titles.
Please do more of these! Big box PC games are the vinyl records of video games!
As usual, these videos on Old PC games are awesome!
Loved the episode man. I kind of want to pick up some Big Box PC stuff that I played when I was younger, so this was really cool.
I have Loom (amiga version), everything inside including the audio cassette... but back in the days I threw out the box in order to save space ! And most of my big boxes, just keeping what was inside ! What an idiot ! This is my favorite computer game!
I can picture metal Jesus saying. ” $800 sealed” just by reading the title 😂🤣😂🤣
I've been trying to get back all my big box games from the 90s, and I've been surprised how expensive any big box PC game is, even the crap ones.
I've never paid more than 20$ for a PC game, and own more than 300 CIB. Just don't buy anything from ebay, it's just stupid to pay these prices. The biggest part of my collection come from thrift stores, garage sales or flea markets. But I also bought lots from website like Craigslist. My most recent acquisition come from one of these website and I bought 71 CIB PC games (mostly from the 90s) for 80$. In the lot, there was game like Blood, Duke Nukem Atomic Edition, Mario's Missing Deluxe and Mortal Kombat 1 (the version with a Gravis Gamepad included). You just have to know where to check and most importantly, be patient. Sometime, I can't find a single game for many months. And if someone is trying to sell you a game that you really really want for a stupid price, just tell him to go fuck himself. Because that's how the price rise for all of us. Now that everyone know that a complete moron paid 800$ for Gabriel Knight, it's will be even harder to find a copy at a reasonable price.
Do you guys know where to get protector cases for them
@@BazookaJoe03 Well... Since there was no standard for Big Box, protector cases for them will probably be hard to find. You can check on ebay or amazon, I know case for Atari games exist. But really, you best bet would be to buy thick clear plastic sheet and cut them yourself.
@@adamrandall2996 bruh i've been looking for the mk1 with the gravis joypad pack-in, lucky lol, but yeah i agree game collecting's full of idiots, most i ever paid was $60 for shadow warrior and $55 for death rally and that's it, all the other ones i have (100+) i got for under $30, even games like blood, duke3d, system shock, etc, my best find so far was original ss1 with the ice breaker handbook off amazon for $25
@@adamrandall2996 So what's the website you bought 71 games from?
What a ride! Thank you so much!
More, please!
That Loom is beautiful. Probably going to rebuy it even at $100+. I am so glad I was able to play that when it came out, got me into classical music and got me more into PC games.
Definitely would like to see more videos like this...rarer pc games. Ive been watching your videos for over a year and i enjoy the content you make. keep it up
Love the Gabriel Knight origami box, maybe not enough to pay $800 for it though!
AdventureGameGeek Looks weird
Quest for Glory, I LOVED that game!!!
Such a fun video. Thanks for this, love seeing your passion for these games
This was a really rad video to see some historical games and how amazingly unique the boxxes are!
Id love more BBPC videos. I see them alot at goodwill and fleamarkets so its cool to get another opinion of what to look out for
you got me hooked on big box pc game collecting :)
These are the types of videos that make my day happy, thanks for this.
Great video dude, nice work
Great video. Fortunately I have notifications on as it didn't even appear in my sub list.
Keep it up MJR!
Loved the video. Would love to see more.
Hello MetalJesus. Thanks great video! We have just picked up a tonne of Big Box PC games and it is handy to have something to refer to.
I don’t own a single big box PC game, but I love watching your big box videos.
Nice video, so much to learn i wanna start to collect my beloved franchises, anytime soon. Thanks for share MetalJesusRocks!
Those big box collections are so beautiful 😍😳. I love their classic art styles on the cover.
I liked that you quoted/cited going prices for these games so people know what to expect to pay from previous auctions. If anything that’s stabilizing the market and might bring it down as more people perhaps sell off their own sets as well.
Love this video. I would never play a PC game but I love the boxes and artwork. Wouldn’t mind watching you play some of them either.
I love these videos. It’s crazy to see what big box PC games go for. It’s awesome that MJ has all these games for preservation.
So cool to look back and see how much more physical stuff was included with games back in the day, with no extra cost.
Listening and watching MJ go thru these colorful cardboard boxes is the comfy side of UA-cam.
Awesome video. I like these big box pc game videos the best.
Wish I had the space to collect these! Definitely do more videos on this one, love the history.
Keep doing big box pc vids!
Sim City 2000 Network Edition is another expensive one just because of how seldom it shows up
@@rorz999 It was only on store shelves for less than a year. LGR has a good video about it.
Love this! Brings back great memories...!
This was such a fun video to watch!
Hey Metal Jesus
This is awesome it brought back so many memories when I first started pc gaming. I still remember getting up in the middle of the night to play the original Doom I was so obsessed with that game and the commander Keen series or jazz the jackrabbit
Keep up the good work and your channel is awesome dude
Steve
Awesome, brings back the memories. Any of them from that epic big box run with Kinsey?
I love the graphics on these boxes and covers! TFS. New sub.
I have always loved the Super C cover. Cool video.
4:12 This coin was actually used as a prop in The Last Jedi, when DJ is rummaging around the ship.
Love to learn more about PC titles, thanks for the video
Checkout Infocom's Starcross Saucer version. That is a biggy.
I love the big box PC videos!
The artwork is just amazing
Love the extras included back in the day
Great video, as always
Its mad to see all these, I remember a ton of them from seeing them in shops on the shelves, I didnt play or own PC games but I was always interested in them for the design, complete presentation and the fact that they were for adult gamers while consoles etc. were still kids stuff
I love the BIG box pc games videos
Man I used to love just wandering into a store and just browsing the shelves of the big box PC games. It was a much smaller gaming world back then.
I appreciate you’re naming the prices in the video now
love how MetalJesus doesn't discriminate when it comes to games, he covers all consoles to PC to you name it gotta love this guy man
Thank you so much! 40 years worth of gaming history and there is no end to the wonders you can find.
That Zork box is seriously awesome! I played the hell out of Return to Zork when I was a kid.
Awesome video!
My heart is sinking just looking at the thumbnail for this vid bc I had a lot of these games back in the day...
Bloody hell, these are pricey! Lovely to see - especially the ones with the coins - but my goodness.
I remember the original Outrun that came out for ZX Spectrum having a music cassette with it with the original arcade music. The game also came on cassette which was a pain when you had to start it in the right place for the right level.
Would love to see more of these videos. I can’t afford to collect so it’s almost as good to see what others have managed to snag.
Great episode!
Video turned out great! And thanks again for the shout out! It was awesome to help out! :D
Great video. Damn...I used to own a complete mail order copy of Doom 1...stupid me tossed out the box but I did sell the disks for about $80.00 online some years ago. I have a sealed copy of the one of the original Might and Magics around somewhere...I've found and sold many rare console games but not many big box PC titles. I need to get back into looking for them, it's a lot of fun. :)
Kind of makes me wish I'd bought a second collectors edition of WoW, like I had considered doing. The price for an unopened vanilla CE is insane.
Super interesting video!
It's cool to learn about all these PC games.
I had the original doom, dad worked at Toshiba and brought it home. Ah good times haha.
