Collecting big box PC games is like adopting a litter of cardboard dinosaurs—massive, glorious, and completely impractical in the modern world. Each one is a shrine to an era when game publishers believed that bigger boxes meant bigger fun, stuffing them with floppy disks, manuals thick enough to stop a bullet, and maybe a novelty item like a cloth map or a fake decoder ring. Shelving them is a workout; one trip to the thrift store can transform your living room into a structural engineering problem. Friends will marvel at your shelf of three-foot-wide neon rectangles while silently wondering if you’re preparing for some kind of retro computer apocalypse.

But oh, the dopamine hit when you crack open a box and find pristine install floppies and a glossy manual that smells faintly of 1996 carpet glue. It’s part history, part treasure hunt, and part self-inflicted storage crisis. You’ll pay five bucks for a game you’ll never play just because the box art features a wizard holding a CD-ROM like the Holy Grail. And while modern gamers brag about terabytes of digital libraries, you can smugly point to your fortress of cardboard and say, “These games don’t just live in the cloud—they are the cloud, if the cloud weighed forty pounds and smelled faintly of basement nostalgia.”

Authentic or fake? Identifying Big Box Computer Game Shrink-wrap

“Big Box” computer game collecting has been around for decades, but has only recently joined video games as trading for increasingly crazy prices. Unopened games fetch the most money, but since shrink-wrap can be re-applied to an opened game, how do you know if your expensive software collectible is truly unopened and factory-mint? In this video, I share my knowledge of the properties of shrink-wrap as it pertains to “Big Box” computer games, and give you the tools to spot both original factory seals, as well as re-wrapped items.
