New Sierra Additions !

A exciting package arrived at my doorstep recently, 2 "new" boxes for my collection !! What made this extra exciting is the fact that these were some of the first Sierra games published. First up, Oil's Well, a game which came out in 1984. what makes this game extra special...it's a cassette so stemming from the age before floppies ! This version came out for the MSX, my first computer as well so really happy with this additions to my collection.

The second game was Mixed-Up Mothergoose, a game published in 1990 by Roberta Williams. This version comes with both 5.25inch and 3.5inch Floppies.

I recent week I have been able to add much more games which you can already see on the other pages on this blog so do have a log. I will continue to try to show some of these in the coming period here as well !

Do you have any older games than Oil's Well in your collection ? Was it the only cassette-based Sierra game ? Do leave a comment !

Happy New Year Everyone ! Hope 2021 is going to be great for all of you and your families ! Personally I hope to up the frequency of posting a bit on my end so lets make today the start of that !

Today a quick post with an "incredible" addition to my Sierra Collection. Meet the Incredible Machine ! I got my hands on a 3.5inch VGA version published in 1993 in pretty good shape !

In that same package some more boxes were included, Flight of the Amazon Queen as well as The Summoning by SSI. So some great additions to start 2021 !

New Sierra Addition: Space Quest IV !

Yesterday I received my latest addition to my Sierra Collection ! Very happy with this one !!

Meet Roger Wilco in his 4th adventure, Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers. It came in a nice Big Box for the PC and was publised in 1993. I haven't played this one yet (as I remember I only played Space Quest 1 to 3 in the nineties) so looking forward to check this one out at some point! 

Any of you ever played this one ? 

Welcome to my Big Box Collectors Blog!

Welcome everyone to my new blog, fully dedicated to collecting Big Box Games ! When I was young I grew up with Kings Quest, Larry, Space Quest, Hero's Quest, Maniac Mansion, Zack McKracken and Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade. Awesome Adventures by Sierra On-line and LucasArts. I also spend hours playing games like Railroad Tycoon, Civilisation, Colonization and Dune. Later-on I could also really enjoy games such as World of Warcraft.

Anyways, during the recent lock-down I decided to revisit some of these old games and decided to start collecting these "Big Boxes", often great looking boxes in which games were usually sold in the 80ties and 90ties. A blog is also a great way to share my collecting adventures and keep track of my collecton. Lastly I hope to connect with other like-minded collectors and Big Box and game fans.

Thanks for visiting and keep an eye on this blog if you're into Big Box games !
