I feel more and more de-nerdyfied when I see such great collections that far surpasses my own

on the top of my head I can remember: The GK collection with the book aswell as GK 1 and 2, GK 3, a LSL collection (Bought it second hand in a shop, but when it arrived it was unopened
), spacequest collection, KQ kollection(The blue box with 1-6), KQ 7, KQ:MOE, PQ 1, PQ collection, Lighthouse, Rama, Lords of the Realm 2, The Last Dynasty, Torin's passage, Phantasmagoria 1 (only jewel case, unfortunately), PH 2, Woodruf, Lost in Time collection and I think Gobliins collection (No box, but they where in a paper case thing reminiscent of the plastic covers of mordern games)...
That's what I can remember on the top of my head. It may not be as big as some people's, but it's too large for me to remember by heart
. I'm not home, so i can't take any new pictures, but I have some old ones online.
You can't see that many Sierra titles, but they are there somewhere. I think my sierra games are about half of my complete games collection if we only look at the games that came in a box.
Again, you can't see the sierra titles, but that's because this is where i keep the not so pretty boxes.
EDIT: atm I'm at a very low connection, so i don't know whether the pictures aren't shown for just me or for others aswell. In case they aren't here's the links:

But that is in large part what theses forums are about. That and to keep something of the old Sierra community alive.

Shivers is one of the few remaining SCI games that I am waiting for ScummVM to support as it is a Win only 16-bit game. There is the Squirt the Cat installer for Shivers 2.

Went on the fleamarket hunt today and came home with these 4 gems for $5.00
Sierra - Civil War (Sealed)
Blizzard - Diablo
Activision - SPYCRAFT (Sealed)
Interplay - Soulbringer (Sealed)
Really happy about Spycraft, been looking for that now for a while, to find it sealed and for 1$ was the best.

Nice!
Wanna trade your Police Quest games for my 3x Sierra things (see post above yours) ?
I'll organize the shipping both sides, so you don't even have to worry about that?

I've got a couple more coming in the mail that I'm really excited about, but these are what came in today. I already had a complete Dark Forces, minus the game, so I picked up a nice disc/case only copy and now it's back to being fully complete. Rayman is the same situation, but the disc I got in the mail is in pretty poor condition, so I'll still be looking to replace that in the future. Unreal Gold is brand new, but the front is severely sunfaded, and then I got a copy of Unreal Anthology, but it's a French box. I guess that's what I get for relying on "stock" photos for items. I usually don't purchase them if they only use stock photos, but they were described as "new" so I had to assume. Sim City 2000 Special Edition is brand new and even still in the shrink wrap. There's a very slight amount of warping on one side, but it's hard to see just from looking at it. Can't wait to show you guys the other items on the way -- I just hope they don't get crushed during transit.
