You are right, it is not easy to get even a original PC big box games in Malaysia. However, you can find them if you are lucky and depend where you look for. Big box PC game is equivalent to CE nowadays, not cheap though back then. Due to its low price if available locally nowsdays, it is a good hunt with a lots of lucks.

Anywhere to buy Three Kingdoms Total War, Collectors Edition? The official website doesn't ship to Malaysia.

i don't think got any shop bring in to Malaysia anymore. maybe you can try ask CK Multimedia. or else sendiri import from Amazon if they have.

thanks for the info. most unfortunate

Hi, just wanna get some info is anyone still know where can find old original pc big box games in KL/PJ area?

No more shops carry old big boxes, try find in second hand books, thrift shop/cash converters, online marketplaces. Best is to ask around friends/relatives that bought games in the past or else you can find on ebay.

What titles are you looking for?

Hi, trying search some old title games liked:

Nox
Freelancer
Clive Barker Undying
System Shock 2
Empire Dawn of Modern World
No one Live Forever
Oni
etc....

But I guess it was impossible right?
Those game I remember can find in Lowyat/Imbi Plaza when I was young....

Just hope anyone know some old shop got keeping those old stuff

Also, online price liked ebay or Amazon is insane, most problem is the shipping fees, the shipping fees is 3 times expensive than the game itself...

Do you have facebook? I can invite you to some groups.. I'll also PM you some links there if you want.

It is not impossible just depends on how much one is willing to pay for Yeah some of the prices are insane, must be very patient if you want to find a reasonably priced one and hunt for years. Hot titles like System Shock 2 are of course high in price because of the demand, and there is no price guide except for looking at ebay sold listings and how much it is worth to you. Some manage to find it for $10 in thrift shops because it is of little value to non collectors.

In Msia physical PC games are almost extinct except in people's homes, old PC game shops mostly closed down or carry only console games now, there was 1 shop in Ampang Park that closed in 2016, they had loads of these PC big boxes.

For shipping it is unavoidable if you go on ebay, if you don't mind UK versions of these boxes you can hunt on ebay.co.uk instead of ebay.com, UK/EU shipping is mostly lower than US where they have GSP which ++additional tax. And if you have people in SG or can travel there, they have loads of PC boxes, it's really strange because there are almost none in Msia but loads in SG Then there's the other issue of boxes getting damaged from shipping, gotta make sure it's packed properly.

Many thanks for your info, I will try it
Any recommend shop in SG?

Not sure if there are any shops with old games at all, I mean check online marketplace listings for SG, carousell is my most commonly used one.

Old thread but I do have a pretty decent collection of old 90s games which I bought during my schooling years in Singapore. I can take some photos and share to this post if possible.

I have most of these in their boxes, have to see the condition but I rarely touch them after I moved back to KL 10 years ago haha.

Sure would love to see your collection!

Alright, finally took them out. Might miss out a game or two haha.

My collection is not as amazing as LGR or MJR tbh.

Wow that's quite a collection! It is like treasure trove haha. Would look great displayed on shelves.

Should probably share a part here too since it's been awhile and this thread is buried and forgotten until Hexlord posted haha. Only started collecting quite late so bits and pieces there and some are not complete.

Just saw this, great collection!
