Game Room Tour - 400 PC Games

[@LGR]

I have been waiting for this video! Exceptional collection, and I really like how you put this video together. I really want to do something similar soon, you've definitely given me and extra kick in the butt towards that!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I fully expect to see an action figure guarding your collection in your video too. Let's start a trend! :)

[@MetalJesusRocks]

KallaMigCP Thanks for the heads up about Reddit. I headed over there just now

[@Lv28fighter]

Get on it LGR, I love your videos also. I am curious to see how big your collection is.

[@V1VISECT6]

your videos are awesome... your my favorite person on youtube

[@Barnacules]

This video brings back so many great childhood memories. Thank you Jesus! :P

[@CeetjeBeetje]

I'm not a collector, but I still have my big box C&C Red Alert and Aftermath expansion. I love that game!

[@Barnacules]

Wow, I've literally played all of those Sierra games and most of the SSI games. Growing up with a 286/12 FTW!

[@sinephase]

back when it cost like $3k for a PC :P

[@Mastermind12358]

sinephase Back when computers (PC's) literally doubled in power every 18months.

[@scottster8858]

Back in the 90s publishers included all kinds of neat "feelies" and awesome box art as a way to offer a better service than piracy. Now publishers include DRM that cripples their own products, is anti consumer, punishes paying customers, and worst of all fails to thwart pirates anyway. It's a clear demonstration of the shift from enthusiastic publishers, to greedy corporate publishers. Fortunately, the independent movement and the ability to self publish is gradually pushing PC publishing back into the realm of enthusiast.

[@dwarfeatergoldvaultoverlor2233]

We are in the dark ages of the games industry to be sure.

[@Riverhill]

Jagged Alliance 2 is my favorite game of all time, nice to see you have it in your collection aswell!

[@losalfajoresok]

man....I never own big boxes for pc games and I think I never will but seeing this..brings tears to my eyes. Those years they put some much loves into them that is really awesome to see them, most for the first time (for me at least). That's one of the things I love about collecting, to show new gamer's generations how it was to be a gamer on the older days. Keep making these amazing videos MJ!

[@jepicondyle]

WHOA WHOA YOU WERE A MEMBER OF TRIP CYCLONE????? I loved that aspect of Shivers 2!!!!! I loved how clues were in the songs!!!!! Oh my god I'm freaking out!!!!! I loved "Was I Even There?" Holy.....

[@MetalJesusRocks]

+jepicondyle I was! That was definitely a fun time to work at Sierra back in the 90s :)

[@stoneystone7]

MetalJesusRocks did you ever play the game GORE it was similar to unreal tournament I loved it and have always wanted to know if you played it it was online matchmaking heaven haha hope to hear back ! love the channel

[@bsquaredgamingchannel7626]

Great games, my friends and I would always get together and have LAN parties with our PCs... some great times and this really brings me back to those days

[@chromerican99]

Man I caught a glimpse of Bioforge in that cd binder, and all these great memories of plying through that game came flooding back. Great vid MJR

[@kruch66]

There is nothing like that feeling on youtube when you discover a new channel you fucking love. Got a lot of videos to go through now. Great video MJR.

[@williamdigby9397]

Thanks so much for these awesome videos. My girlfriend and I have a decent collection and now know there are so many others that appreciate old games as much as we do! Love from England man!

[@JulesRoyal]

It's the best day of the week! When MJR posts a new video! I'm not much of a PC person, but i really enjoyed this video. Now I at least have a little bit of knowledge of what I'm looking at when I run into these PC games at thrift stores. Keep up the great work.

[@flagainst3]

Such a bad ass colection, all that extra shwag in the boxes really makes it feel like you're getting a game with alot of love and thought put in to it.

[@technoir1119]

I was a console gamer growing up. PC gaming was too expensive for me and for whatever reason seemed way out of my league. But I LOVED browsing (drooling) over the boxes when I'd go to stores. The cover art in a lot of cases was absolutely gorgeous and inspiring. It really made my imagination go wild. I always wondered how awesome the games must have been. I'm extremely envious of anyone who grew up a PC gamer. Great video!

[@youtubasoarus]

Great collection! The only thing that stood out for me was that you said you "lost" so many hours with certain games. I'd suggest you gained them. Losing those hours suggests you could have done something better with your time.

[@AyratHungryStudent]

Watching the PC games big boxes is so amazing. I really feel like I'm at an art museum. So cool!

[@Shelbyfromvans]

Hey, MetalJesus! I would just like to say the quality and the content of your videos are always spot on. You are a true game collector and an awesome dude!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Thanks! I love making videos and I'm glad you are having fun watching them :)

[@MeridaDahon]

Awesome! A lot of memories in your collection. I bought Full Throttle because of Sam and Max. Tie fighter was ridiculously addictive and the original Diablo blew my mind at the time! I regret getting rid of all those old PC games and boxes years ago. Keep the vids coming, man, and I'll keep watching. You rock!

[@sauqk]

Big Boxes are the LPs of PC games along with the swag. The cover art of Eye of the Beholder series stained my young brain on the shelves of Babbage's, but a few of these I had totally forgotten about. Thanks, great vid.

[@denBlackie]

Skip this video ? This is why I love your channel :) Don't stop making these big box games are awesome.

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

That PC collection is epic. Wow! So many classics that bring back memories!

[@Round2GamingChannel]

That was a fantastic video MJR! Went in late to work just to finish watching it; just sucked me in - and I don't even do much PC gaming! Thanks so much for sharing man - always enjoy your videos. Keep up the awesome work!

[@foxtelremote]

i am so jealous of your might and magic games! my family couldn't afford a PC when I was growing up, so when I finally got one, the might and magic games were all that I had. 6 7 and 8 had me glued for years.

[@mushroomsamba82]

great video man, It's really interesting to see all the cool stuff that used to come with games... really takes me back

[@techspecxify]

It's good to collect what you like - thanks again for your time and energy. Great information and good to see all the old games from the day. Now a days we don't get such cool stuff with the games - I believe that enhanced the game play a bit more.

[@portalplayer]

this is an awesome video. PC game boxes are so awesome, they go all out with the extras. And, the art work on the covers are so mysterious and intriguing. it just isn't the same after it got all digital. I hope you do another PC games video.

[@thegamingphile]

hey Metal Jesus because of you I ended up picking up a sealed System Shock 2 in the box at a thrift store. Normally I would have passed on it. THANKS!!!

[@Gillz93fyi]

I was having a crappy day at work today and getting a notification that you uploaded a new video made my day! I love your channel. Keep up the good work!

[@LukeHellwalker]

It has a reason, I prefer the 90s and the early 2000s over today, when it comes to games... Great video MJR \m/

[@Peyre]

the extras in some of those boxes are awesome. i think it's a good thing that you cover more PC stuff on your channel.

[@ByteSizeThoughts]

I started collecting pc games in 2018. It's amazing to see how many heavy hitters you had already collected back in 2014!

[@K1NGARTH3R]

Great episode, i'm a big fan of PC games from back in the 90's and have a nice selection. It was nice seeing the way you run your games :) great stuff!

[@DecipleX]

I too worked at Sierra On-Line in Bellevue late 96 Holiday - Jan 97 Holiday. My 1st Helpdesk job. Great videos and homage to old school gaming, my man! :)

[@hardrocker943]

Great video! I'm just now starting to getting into old pc collecting. I watched my Mom play a lot of these. So much great stuff.

[@SpencerIAm]

Totally inspired me to start collecting PC games in box. I used to have so many, but lost a lot of them when my family and I moved around the US. Once I get a gaming room established, I want to start collecting again. Thanks MJ!

[@rey-o]

This was very informative! I don't have a huge PC game collection but it's something that I'm growing very slowly over time.

[@Pookanator]

Great to see the old MechWarrior games in there! Those games have fantastic soundtracks which I still listen to today.

[@estolaetus]

I remember staring at all of these cases at Software ETC and CompUSA back in the day! Awesome collection, dude.

[@PapaKennMedia]

For the vast majority of my life, I didn't own (or rather my family didn't own) a PC or Laptop powerful enough to play games of the time. Technically... I still don't, but thankfully a lot of games don't require crazy-high specs. Anyway, I love videos like this from both you and Lazy Game Reviews because it lets me experience games I haven't played before, or a friend owned the game and I could only play it at their house. Seeing LGR's comment below, I'm looking forward to his possible upcoming collection video. This was a great video, and loved seeing your crazy huge collection! I'll never have one that big, but I'll hopefully be able to get ahold of *SOME* of these games one day to play around on :)

[@Huddison]

I'm sooo jealous of your gold boxed SSI games! I may start my own collection of them.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Huddison Am I so HAPPY to have these in my collection. I always wanted them as a kid!

[@Huddison]

MetalJesusRocks I had a couple of them on my C64 - Champions of Krynn was my personal fav.

[@RanyBx]

That was an excellent video, seriously, please keep on bringing old pc games love!

[@PaulBradley]

really enjoyed this, it bought back some very happy memories from my early PC days

[@Aqueous92]

My eyes literally glowed when I saw your CD of Subculture. Amazing game which I spent hours and hours in my childhood and which I recently started to play again. A decent scavange/mercenary/ submarine game.

[@bunsenb]

You inspired me to get into big box PC collecting i love the artwork and overall package you get and you can find some amazing deals looking forward to the hunt

[@anthonymoloney3671]

What an awesome collection. I was really happy to see you had Terra Nova. For me, that game blew my mind at the time.

[@rnholsen7841]

Very informative and great to see the classics...looking forward to some game footage and more information in your next video.

[@jackuno]

Love your videos. It's a good format, there's heaps of cool games, and you just seem like a really nice dude.

[@benstiller2006]

As always, this was a fantastic video. Keep on doing what you do, man.

[@ViniVinagre]

Great collection! Have a lot of this games too, great memories from my childhood! Greetings from Brazil!

[@RetroHabit82]

Great collection you have.It's always nice to see those bigbox titles that I missed out on.

[@sandplasma]

Wow you have so many of the games I used to play in the 90s. Loved the video!

[@PaulA-fp3vs]

I seriously miss those old artworks. Books, videogames, movies.... part of the fun of buying something was the cool artwork.

[@BullyrottHD]

Metal J I love your videos and you seem like such a nice guy! I'm trying to get all my friends to watch your videos. FROM YOUR UK FANS!!

[@metalfacemark]

love the big boxes, its amazing to think back in the days that we used to hate the amount of space they would take up, i miss my big boxes.

[@CameronFryy]

I was mostly a console gamer and only dabbled into PC games for the heavy hitters (Doom, Sim City, Starcraft, Diablo). It's nice to see such a great collection of games I never got a chance to own.

[@javierknight7978]

I love the old PC videogame boxes! Great video!!!

[@Let_Them_Burn]

Full throttle. Wow. What a classic, had my first sleepless night playing that game ! the final jump was such a pain to figure out. Way cool game you have my friend

[@kurganwins]

Ace Frehley guards my game room too. Man it does not seem all that long ago when i was playing those great pc games and spending way to much time to get the sound to work. Great video.

[@CrysisFear]

3:42 my all time favorite. You have an amazing collection. Never knew there existed Doom2 screensaver. Great video thanks for sharing. :)

[@TheSweatyYeti]

CrysisFear Heck yeah! I just bought a big box copy on ebay last week.

[@TheNzGameFreak]

Love this video of your PC games nothing better than Old games whether they are PC or console they are just alot of memories.

[@qster]

I had a six foot high cardboard 'Rise of the robots' robot that I had to leave when we moved to Spain, I was gutted to leave him! Great video as always :)

[@ooSicknesSoo]

I loved buying games in the 90's. The boxes had so much cool stuff!

[@zeroth404]

That's a mighty fine loonin' PC Gamer Classic Games Collection Volume One you've got there. One of my favorite PC Gamer discs! Got about 20 years' worth of that on my bookshelf (:

[@DragonsIayer182]

Not a lot of people know about the Crimson skies, especially not the original PC version. Thank you for showing it, I hope to see more cult classics and hidden gems in the future!

[@merrol007]

Awesome collection!! Thanks for sharing and being consistent with your video uploads, I really enjoy them = )

[@paultizzano982]

love the collection the size of those boxes and the artwork and designs on them

[@jmyers1385]

I grew up in a very "anti-nintendo" household and my dad was a programmer in the 80's and 90's so this is a huge trip down memory road for me. We had tons of PC games, we used to go to this place called Egghead Software and get games all the time, played some cool stuff back in the day like some of the Battletech games, TMNT Manhattan Missions, Silpheed, Thexder, Hero's Quest and some other sleeper games. Great stuff. I still have most of those old games and a bunch of stuff from the late 90's and early 2000's. So much cool swag came with those old PC games. I wear a sweet pin that came with one of the Battletech games on a blazer for funsies when I have to dress formal, so damn cool.

[@TheCompletionist]

I'm not a pc gamer, but I always enjoy listening to a bit of pc gamer history. I am literally unaware of some of the games that were released on pc.

[@XFile2708]

Superb collection and tour matey - as you know im not really into RPGs but certainly played a lot of the big box pc adventure games when I was growing up :) My favourites were probably Sam and Max, the Police Quest series, Simon the Sourcerer, Wily Beamish to name a few.. :)

[@AXNation]

Greetings from Puerto Rico. great tour man! I don't collect much for PC but saw a couple of tittles that have passed through my hands. Again awesome collection and awesome game room. Keep up the great vids.

[@BOYD1981]

That is an awesome collection, I love boxed games. Actually discovered that I still have a box for Dungeon Keeper with the manual today!

[@IAMPACIFIC1]

Great video! I remember playing Torin's passage in the mid 90s and loving the box and extra goodies.

[@farmhousemedia3000]

Starting watching and thought; "He'd BETTER show Full Throttle!" You did... Huzzah! "I'm not putting my lips on THAT"

[@eioclementi1355]

wow you rock jesus! i had flashbacks of going to electronic boutiques in the 90s

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I remember going to Electronic Boutiques, CompUSA and Software Etc for all my PC gaming goodness. Those were the days!

[@ThexXxXxOLOxXxXx]

Wow these are some real historical pieces of art right there!

[@JohnBoosh]

Metal Jesus get to record when he looks at his collection. When I look at my collection it’s usually a sad environment and keeps me wondering about why my wife left me

[@johnnyboy6429]

Hey metaljesusrocks just the fact that you know about full throttle and Sam and Max drives my respect up for you like the motorcycle in full throttle! Good lord I miss those games.

[@jimlawless5323]

Subscribed! great collection man, I have a lot of those titles myself, especially the old rpgs, definitely a good amount of fetishism involved in collecting all those big ol' boxes full of stuff, just like vinyl collections. We used to get so much more when buying games/records back in the day, now it's just some quickly thrown together boxart on a small plastic box and a 10 page crappy generic manual.

[@prophismusic]

I highly recommenced "DOSBox Game Launcher" for PC. I use it myself to organize all my old school games, by title, genre, even developer and year. It's a Library/Manager & Auto Launcher. No coding needed, simply double click any title you have loaded into it and it starts it up in dosbox. An added bonus is screen shots when highlighting a title (you add these), it can help big time in remembering games. Great video MJR. I want those wolfenstein & Chirichan Pirat Clan patches - Very Cool

[@ba3ism]

I could never skip any if ur videos metal Jesus !

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

T_T ... I miss my PC old box PC games. The beautiful artwork and the stuff you would get with them.

[@wysiwyg2006]

great collection. grew up on pc games after atari st, still play games on pc at age 38. also really was hooked on Phantasmagoria when it was released. that along with zork nemesis were very atmospheric

[@sglider]

Great video, old school computer game packaging was the best and is also my favorite. I too foolishly dumped a bunch of boxes from the C64 period and the late 90s PC period. Some have survived though and I am certainly hanging on to them.

[@Theshyandquietgamer]

Been collecting big box pc games for about a year.. great video..hope to have a collection like yours one day...

[@MarioLuigi2013]

The rock group "Trip Cyclone" that's awesome! I enjoyed Shivers very much you guys made a great game.

[@6thsun25]

as an old adventurer pc gamer myself, you need to add to your collection games like legend of kyrandia series,simon the sorcerer series,alone in the dark series.These were masterpices and i need to see them in their original boxes.Thx for the great channel!

[@rsb0210]

Cool video, I have to say my favorite old school video games were mail order monsters, wasteland, and the leisure suit Larry games. So much fun

[@jesseblur930]

That is a massive collection MJR!!!

[@Cander5142]

Love what you opened with. I miss the old days of PC gaming where you got cool stuff without an overly pricy collectors edition. And I miss big awesome manuals.

[@eyescovered]

Awesome collection. PC games could definitely get away with crazier boxes than consoles! Which is also the reason I enjoy collecting vinyl!

[@metalcann]

That collection is cool as hell.

[@genomyoshida5205]

Honestly, I do not understand the appeal to watching over someone's collection. However, I find myself watching at least one of your videos during breakfast or lunch daily. Think it might be the nostalgia factor. The SSI stuff brought back tons of memories. Good stuff.

[@ironhammersTV]

Haha! Totally forgot about the days when we used to have to buy screen-savers on discs. That Doom II one looks awesome.

[@jankogo]

Nice to see someone that talks about great PC-games. It seems they are a bit forgotten compared to their console counterparts...

[@KawaiiGames]

Great games, must find some of them

[@Gamevet]

It's such a shame that I was an Amiga gamer when a lot of those great PC games came out in the late 80s and early 90s. I have a pretty decent collection of boxed titles for those older games on the C-64 and Amiga, but my collection of older PC games is pretty slim. As always, great stuff MJ!

[@killafoogaming]

Very cool tour man, wish i still had some of my older pc boxed games i would have sent them to ya lol oh well that statement you made about moving is the way of it

[@LiquidDIO]

Awesome to see a boxed Hard Nova. Games like it, Sentinel Worlds: Future Magic, Starflight 1 & 2 and Star Control, are the real forerunners to Mass Effect, which is why I enjoyed the first ME so much, It felt like a sort of paean to those bygone awesome sci-fi classics.

[@MirageMiM]

Man, you're so cool Metal Jesus.
