I will probably soon convert my game collection text list to a more organized CSV format, as I feel the list is getting hard to read.

I think I will stop putting two spaces after full stops and colons.

Diablo games.

I got Chasm: The Rift today (brand new).  Comes in a big box with a slipcase.

Photo of Quake collection.  It's complete in terms of the official PC series (minus Enemy Territory), although I don't have every release of each game (e.g., Quake: The Offering; QII: Colossus; big box version of Ultimate Quake; CD version of Quake 4; individual big box releases of QIII Arena, QIII: Team Arena, and the QII add-ons; shovelware and TCs...)  Not pictured:  Malice for Quake jewel case (inside the Quake and DOOM compilation box).

Pic of DOOM stuff I have.  The Ultimate DOOM, Master Levels for DOOM II, Hexen: Beyond Heretic, and DOOM 3 BFG Edition (PS3) all contain posters.

The Quake 4 Special DVD Edition is the most ridiculously fragile game I own.  The slightest amount of friction causes the ink to disintegrate right off the slipcase.  I ordered another copy as a replacement.  It's a re-print or whatever with the logos in different positions on the cover, so I'm hoping it won't have the same issue that my current one has.

Pointless DOOM disc appearance comparison pictures - Top row:  CD-ROMs from the US/Australian version of The Depths of DOOM Trilogy.  Middle row:  CD-ROMs from the UK version of The Depths of DOOM Trilogy.  Bottom row:  Canadian CD-ROMs from The Ultimate DOOM and DOOM II IBM PC big box releases, US CD-ROM from Master Levels for DOOM II IBM PC big box release.

Also, the manuals from the US/Australian and UK versions of The Depths of DOOM Trilogy manual are slightly different.  The US manual has "P/N 30059" printed on the back cover, while the UK manual has nothing printed on the back cover, is a slightly shorter height, and has a glossier, thinner cover.

Surprisingly, I've never owned the first Heretic (although I have played it).  So I decided to finally buy it.  There's a story in the manual...I assumed this game didn't have an introductory story, heh.

Got the Ultimate Quake compilation.  Mainly for the poster, and also because I've never played Q3A before (aside from a demo).

That's a strange place for an age rating.

Airing out a Depths of DOOM Trilogy big box because it reeks of tobacco smoke.  Bleh.

Anyone have scans of the addendum from the US DOS CD-ROM version of Hexen?  Pretty sure it's missing from the one I got.

Out of curiosity, is the manual from the US version of Final DOOM identical to the manual from the EU version?  I have 2 Final DOOM manuals.  One is CD case-sized (it came with a Platinum re-release of the PC [DOS/Windows] version but the instructions are for Macintosh) and does not contain any story.  The other (from the EU version) is larger and more detailed:

Not sure if such a thing already exists online, but I made a little list of the different physical releases of the classic DOOM games.  Some things are likely still missing from the list, particularly Japanese releases since I don't know much about them.  Link:  click

What's the very first version of Registered DOOM that was released on CD-ROM?  I previously thought it was v1.9, but apparently v1.8 was available on CD-ROM by mail-order?

Finally got the original big box release of Duke 3D Atomic Edition.  Surprisingly hard to find.
 

Is there any way to tell if an unopened/sealed Ultimate DOOM box contains the poster (besides buying it and opening it, of course)?  I know some releases don't have it.

Does anyone know what all of the contents in a brand new DOS CD-ROM DOOM II v1.666 US/Canadian release are?  Did all releases contain the same paperwork?

Romero's auction for DOOM II disks has exceeded AU $4,000 (US $3,000).

I found a thread from a few years ago on some site where someone said the original big box releases of DOOM (including the US floppy disk mail-order release) are "next to worthless" and that they "wouldn't pay $5 each for them."  So uh, why are the two mail-order releases on eBay more than AU $800 each?  Did their value increase by $800 in like 4 years?  Are they overpriced?

Ordered the original big box release of Final DOOM (UK version).  I already have the jewel case and manual (which is small and in black and white) from the Platinum budget re-release, but the original box is cool (I don't care about the Platinum PC big boxes).  As with the DOOM II box I ordered, it was relatively inexpensive.  Much cheaper than the US boxes I've seen.
