Hello!
In line with those already traditional New Year's resolutions, I was cleaning up some mess here and rearranging some old cardboard boxes when I found them. Many of them were good old fellow companions from yore, from a time when we still had certain little pleasures in gaming's life, such as going to mall in order to buy the new, physical boxed copies of PC game releases
Well, enough of photos
I have other physical games here (TES IV, Civ V, Diablo III) but they aren't old enough to bring me back those fond memories of lonely afternoons (and nights, why not?) playing games I/we all love!

- Legacy of Kain was a gift from my girlfriend, the one who would become, years after, my beloved wife.
- I'm so sad that I couldn't find the Stonekeep hardcover booklet which came with the original game box
- I had the original Diablo 1, which I gifted to a nephew many years ago
- I also had Fallout 1, which was also gifted to a friend of mine. I think I finished it at least twice, and that's maybe the reason I gifted it away because… if I already finished it twice then there's no reason to play it again, right? PLAIN WRONG! Fallout 1 and 2 are the kind of games which deserve to be revisited once in a while
- Needless to say, you're seeing the Urban Runner brazilian cover which was sold here. Look at the phrases in greek
- Urban Runner is not being sold by GOG. Then I went to Community Wishlist to add my vote for him. C'mon GOG!
- Neverwinter Nights was a gift from a friend. I see that it doesn't have many fans here. Well, mind you… I finished it without using mods or whatever
- System Shock Enhanced CD-ROM version. The only and one. From US Ebay
I actually finished System Shock 2 prior to buying and finishing SS 1. At the time I didn't even know a game called "System Shock" existed. - Wizardry 8, oh my dear Wizardy 8… Now we're talking serious. My top 10 RPGs of all time will certainly include you! An excellent party-based dungeon crawler. How I loved the way the characters interact with each other, the banter and all. Great voice acting. But then it has only one, ONLY ONE fundamental design issue, which prevented me from finishing the game: the enemies' respawning. Actually, the way-too-quick enemies' respawning. You fight three crabs, go there and back, and then what?!?!? Six crabs??? And then 10 ?? The fights begin to drag and drag on infinitely… I'm pretty sure I've already expressed my opinion about this design issue here on RPGWatch. Sadly, I couldn't find a mod able to solve this issue in a decent manner. No problem, I still love you. 9 out of 10
- The originals Baldur's Gate II and its sequel plus their printed material. It's another game I really really love. Oh well! Back to cleaning, I guesses…
- Because we can't get tired of Infinity engine games, can we? This one has a superb writing. This game is hard to describe, you should go and experience it by yourself.
- Zork Legacy Collection and its printed material, including Encyclopedia Frobozzica, always reminding us they won't produce material like that anymore I wishlisted all Zork games on GOG. Now, if only they get discounted on the GOG's New Year sale…
- Ultima Collection, Ultima IX and a host of printed material they have/had. Much like Zork above, they also remind us that printed material like these (map of Britannia, the Ultima cards, etc) will hardly be produced in the "digital era" we are.
- Can you see the ad in the back of CD case? Ultima Online 2 coming in 2000? If I recall it correctly, it was cancelled, right?
