Hey all!
I searched a bit and didn't find this topic before, so I figured I'd use the opportunity to do something I love: Show off!
(Warning: some pretty large image files follow)
The Original Myst:
Unfortunately, I never much cared for this game. I tried getting it to run recently just for the heck of it, but turns out it needs some ancient version of Quicktime that won't install, and I can't be bothered to set it up on a VM.
The game box:

The goodies inside (remember when they used to give these?):

Contained the CD with a manual, a journal to write notes in, a strategy guide (even WITH this I didn't care for this game), and a postermap of the entire island.
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring:

Box with slidey cover, manual, CD, reference card, instructions to get it to work on Windows 3.1 and small map.
Unfortunately, quite a few of my games came with my soundcards, so they're missing boxes, but they have the manual and CD sleeve. I've got a couple more boxed games (Fate of Atlantis, King's Quest Collection), but I don't want to show off until I find all the parts (missing manuals, CD sleeves, etc.).
So in the mean time, show off some of yours! Try to do it with ones that are the most complete (not just a picture of floppy disks with a label on them).
