There have been threads before in which people post photos of their big game box collections. However, what this thread is for are close ups of interesting individual boxes so that we can all revel in their detail, such as reading all the text and gawking at the tiny screenshots :D

There might be some site somewhere for precisely this, but a quick search didn't hit anything (i suck at searching though)

I'll start with two:

I hope this isn't a guessing thread. If so the first one is Blade Runner. :P

MobyGames is the closest that I can think of.

Never though of looking at mobygames, thanks! The only other pic that I have at the ready is Wing Commander IV, and all three games' (wing commander IV, MAX and Blade Runner) front and back covers are there

gamesdb.com is another good site for this...
I also have the Blade Runner big box (along with many others) but in italian.
I also have a dislike in making photos :D

Shouldn't they be high-res images then, and not just large images?

LOL. I was ready to revel in their detail, such as reading all the text... of Blade Runner's front box. Except the whole image is out of focus, all the text is blurry, and fine detail is difficult to make out. Is that a sticker for the Blade Runner Give Away or did they print it on the cover? It's also a perspective shot and not straight on.
It's also happens to be a lot nicer than most game box images. Where's JMich with his use your camera as a scanner link when you need him?

It's a minor variation, but I prefer the European box art for Blade Runner.
Threw away my Warcraft 3 / Diablo 2 / Starcraft 2 etc etc boxes as I have the digital installer and shifting house. Only keep games that are not sold digitally or not DRM free digitally or Have updated version that I don't like the nerf.
I only have 3 games in big box physically. Been meaning to keep going but I never have money sadly. "Redneck Rampage", "They Came From The Desert" and "Eye Of The Beholder" With the original goodies included for all 3 games, floppies and all. Eye Of The Beholder comes with the original receipt from when it was originally purchased from a Babbages in 92' or 93'.
Love the MAX box, C&C with a PhD, imagine games appealing to intelligence, not easy access and quick action.
