Site Feedback / VGC Subreddit?

Subject says it all really. Think it'd be cool if we had a subreddit just for general video sharing ect, and it might even attract a few more users. Thoughts?

Classic Video Games / I want to start collecting big-box PC games... where do I start?

« on: July 18, 2014, 03:06:36 pm »

So, I've been watching a lot of MetalJesusRocks and Lazy Game Reviews recently and it really got me interested in collecting old big-box PC games because they look like really cool things to own. But, thing is, the only PC I have is a relatively new Windows 8 laptop, so I have no idea what kind of machine I should use and what peripherals I need to play them etc etc. Anything that plays 5th-gen and back would be fine. So, what kind of thing do you guys suggest I get, and what kind of price would we be talking about?

Thanks in advance

General / Best region for box-art?

« on: July 16, 2014, 06:13:26 pm »

So I was wondering what part of the world you guys think is the best in terms of game boxes. Personally, I think it's quite the mixed bag - as a UK dweller I have to deal with spines that are usually boring as all hell, especially on PS2 & PSP. Some people think it looks nice & uniform but personally I'd prefer to have a logo. Even on PS3 exclusives it's just a background with the game name written on in Arial font But I do think, however, that a lot of the actual artwork on PAL region boxes is quite nice when compared to other regions, for example Ico and Final Fantasy X. Oh, and I actually like the chunky PS1 cases, despite their tendency to break when anything touches them
