Latest additions to the collection!

All games in French, as I'm, well, French. I am overjoyed to have at last secured a copy of Fate of Atlantis.

I made Shenmue PC box that never existed — looking for honest feedback

Shenmue was never released on PC for Windows 98, but there were rumors back in the day when I was a kid without a Dreamcast (and my parents were clear: ‘No way we are getting one’). Luckily, I got to play it through a close friend; and boy was Shenmue ahead of its time!

So years later, I decided to make the box anyway -> not a game, no software. Just a physical object that reimagines what the PC release could have looked like.

Every element was designed and assembled by me, from the cover illustration, to the box inserts, CDs, and items. I only created 10 boxes.

I've been working on this for about 6 months and I'd love honest feedback from the Shenmue community, people who actually know this game.

  1. Does it feel right? What feels out of place?
  2. Do you get why it exist?

Some have told me there was no point making this. I still disagree, and I think there are others out there who would feel like I do.

By the way, this is a fan-project. No software included.

I think it's a cool game despite it's "challenging" controls and "near slideshow" framerate.
The art and music are great though.

The poster scan I made can be found on archive.org

The memory stick came with the Strix Memoria album I got from musician Tim Wright.

Got one of my favorite games of all time in.

It never got a full big box release just one of those small boses, but still super happy to have this in my collection now. I've only ever had it as a disc only so having the box and inserts is cool, doesn't hurt it was also cheap. The only other small box game I really want now is Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines.

Found these today at a thrift store

Ghost recon desert siege is sealed also and never been opened. Also don’t worry about the price they put on it. I removed that easily without damaging the box.

My poor copy of Myst has seen better days but is still a really cool part of my collection.
