LGR - LP-style PC Game Boxes

An exploration of the record sleeve style PC game packages of the 1980's. Electronic Arts, Micro Illusions, Taito, and more! These things were just awesome and make collecting games a lot of fun.

Haven't seen the video yet, but did you know that the art designer for ea hid the ea logo somewhere on every folio (the official name for "album" boxes)? See if you can find it in the ones you have.

Hahaha! Loved the whole "DOS emergency phone" bit :) And the rest of the video of course. Keep up the good work!

yay this time the link from email worked. i got this last night as well and it just lead to the main patreon page with nothing showing up on your profile.. odd

I bet these get mixed up with records at the thrift stores. I skip the record section most of the time but maybe worth a browse. The only LP sleeve games I have are for Amiga. I didn't even know they were sleeves at first, they just looked like flat cardboard with cool game art.

I saw this video posted this morning and then it disappeared and now it's apparently back again... weird...

Not gonna lie, I got a Ronnie James Dio vibe from the inside of that FaeryTale Adventure sleeve.

Nothing odd, I simply re-uploaded for a revision as I often do! This one will be taken down as well for another revision... this IS early access after all :)

LazyGameReviews

Definitely worth checking in records to see! Though I've never found any personally, I got all these online or from other collectors

LazyGameReviews

Mentioned below, but this is a simply a revised video link! There will be another after this too, seeing as this is early access and I often tweak vids many times before final release

Wow, I didn't even know that they would pack games like this in the day. a little odd fact.

You need to show off those programs!

I've managed to pick up a few recently (via some US sellers), and they are such a wonderful thing to behold. Especially with how the same titles were distributed here in Australia - instead of the folio cover, the distributor used a big clamshell style case, with *none* of the interior art preserved :'(

Awesome! I used to have F/A-18 Interceptor for the Amiga in this kind of LP-style box: <a href="http://hol.abime.net/469/boxscan" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://hol.abime.net/469/boxscan</a>

Oh yeah, Rockstar sold it in limited quantities on their store for a while. I love that album.

This was a really super relaxing video. Love when you just go on and on about your collection like this. :) But I must know... can I call you on your rotary phone and say "buhduhzzzuh zuh zuh buzzahuh" too???!

Although it was a very long time ago, I think my copy of Deluxe Paint for DOS came in one of those things... Keyword "THINK" as I was only about seven years old at the time, give or take a year. :P I kinda wish I kept all my boxes and such for my computer games from childhood, but both of my parents had a knack for tossing things they figured weren't important anymore... that, and I did have a tendency to lose things every once in awhile, including game disks. :/ I'm a LOT more careful about that sort of thing nowadays. ;)

Nice! Speaking of game vinyls, I got the Bioshock 2 soundtrack on vinyl. It kicks a fair amount of ass. I also got the Sonic-blue vinyl that came with the Mega Drive Collection for PS3. Good times!

I was lucky to get the Bioshock 2 vinyl on clearance at Target! Whole collector's edition for 5 bucks
