I knew grunge was dead when WCW had a grunge rocker parody character named Raven. His intro music was a ripoff of Nirvana's "Come As You Are" and his signature move was called evenflow like Pearl Jam's song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3vOV3Dr21E

That's practically a JoJo sounding gimmick character right there.

I really miss playing Red Alert 2, but I've never managed to get the Origin version to work on my Windows 10 laptop and my old CD-ROM disks don't work with my DVD drive. I keep looking for a version to come out on Steam, but I doubt a workable version will ever be ported.

The worst were the ones that had really weird shapes like Microcosm that wouldn't fit on any shelf. I can't find a picture of that box, but imagine a cardboard donut that had the jewelcase in the middle.

EDIT: Trap sprung?

Marathon had an interesting set of boxes:  In reality there was no real reason for them to be triangular, at least when they re-released them in a trilogy set the box was at least more conservative:

They were Mac games so it wasn't like they had to compete with anything else for cool box designs

My favorite PC game growing up, Microprose's F19, showed a silhouette of a plane that you'd have to get our the manual to find the correct name for. If you got it wrong you could only play one training mission.

I liked how the original Leisure Suit Larry had you answer some questions such as "what does IBM stand for" and "how many people were in the Brady Bunch" as age protection.

I spent so much time looking at PC game boxes in Electronics Boutique while my mom bought weird poo poo in TJ Maxx or whatever. Even though I rarely actually got anything, it was still fun. Window shopping is a thing of the past.

The only pre-dvd game boxes I didn't end up destroying in a week were the sega genesis cases (jewel cases usually lasted longer only because I didn't really have a choice).

In theory, maybe? Did anyone who you had become a mega star? Or did they all burn out due to steroid use? I'm sure a Mark McGuire rookie is worth something. My copies of Fallout 1 and 2 were stolen by a friends roomate who claimed to be an "anarchist" which basically translated him into stealing the other roomates stuff and selling it to a second hand store for money to buy weed. I had leant them to my friend, and he said he had no idea where they went until one of the other roommates noticed a bunch of her cds in his bag as he was leaving. His defense? "You can't own things, they belong to everyone!". Man that reminds me about the late 90s of hanging out at that place, wondering what videos to rent, playing n64, thinking my university degree would actually result in meaningful work. Oh the 90s.

It's technically 1989 but Ken Griffey Jr's upper deck rookie card is actually valuable. It's the single most graded card in the Beckett database, and 9.5 or 10 grades sell for good money.

Mine were Topps, probably not good condition anymore, and the same as 400000000 other people's collections. The gum was pretty much always stale.
