I have both the Underworld games, on floppy still in original boxes too, DrK. I have no trapezoidal boxes, though, and also don't own TDP, only TG.

Yes, the spyglass is working, but it's more like a gadget than a real spyglass, obviously... It was a promotion toy for the german release of Thief 2.
I have 6 Thief I games :
- 2 original french versions (including one still with cellophane which is pretty rare)
- 1 cheap french version under the "premier collection" label from Eidos
- 1 french version with only the cd case (the one I use actually)
- 1 original/trapezoidal us version
- 1 original british version
3 Thief gold games :
- 1 original/trapezoidal us version
- 1 cheap british version under the "premier collection" label from Eidos
- 1 british version with only the cd case (the one I use)
7 Thief II games :
- 1 original french version
- 2 cheap french version under the "premier collection" label (1 in big box, 1 in dvd case with cellophane)
- 1 cheap french version under the "hits collection" label
- 1 french version with only the cd case (the one I use)
- 1 original/trapezoidal us version
- 1 original british version
2 Thief III games (that's enough :p ) :
- 1 european version in dvd case
- 1 us version in bigger dvd case because it's on 3 CDs
Plus a strategy book for Thief I. I'm only missing the german versions of the games, plus a few which got released in Poland or somewhere. Been collecting these on ebay for the last 10 years, but stopped doing this a while ago.
The cd case at the right of the circle is just System shock 2.
Yep, got spare copies there, just in case... :cheeky:

Comes to think of it, I have some of the other games, like underworld series, car & driver and so, which are Mac versions or on floppy disk. Therefore I'll never be able to play them :laff:
I think I have all the games from LGS, except "British open golf championship" (never found an acceptable copy) and 1 or 2 games on Snes or whatever...
All are originals.

HOLY CRAP DrK. You owe me a new keyboard - I just ruined mine with drool.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i106/jtr7/ThiefGames.jpgSorry for the really crappy image, the lighting was too bad and the exposure time was too slow for the lack of a tripod.
The Platinum Edition box for TDP and TMA was squashed when I bought it used (meaning the devs didn't get anything from my purchase itself), and the games were in those dumb paper sleeves.
Thief Gold was an import purchased through Amazon, the last one for US $30.00, and the next available price was $75.00, which stayed unsold for a long time. It was sent overseas in those dumb paper sleeves in only a bubble-wrap envelope. The sender didn't know why that annoyed me.
TDS was also purchased through Amazon, since no local store had it in stock once their first shipment sold, never to be replenished. My Disc Two acquired a scratch somewhere and a kind taffer on TTLG sent me his spare DVD version (not pictured, obviously), but this was my original purchase.

Whyyy? Why did my Thief 2 box disappear? It seems that nobody else has a box like that. It was one of those huge old boxes, except it opened in a "treasure-chest"-way, and it didn't have any other markings on it than "Thief 2", "Eidos" and "LGS" on the front cover. The Garrett artwork on the cover was completely untouched, the original version. That box wasn't taffin' around. It was exactly what it had to be and nothing more. :tsktsk:
Also, The CD case has disappeared too. :( It had the original manual and back cover. How can I have been so careless? At least both the discs are fine. :) CD1 is gray and CD2 is red.
I do have everything that came with the Dark Project though. Big box, CD-case, manual and disc. The box is a bit torn and suffered because of rolling around the room since 1998. :p I don't have a real camera so the pic sucks.
