I don't use Giant Bomb for tracking my game collection (owned or played), but here I'm making an exception, since I never buy physical games anymore so there's no difficulty keeping this updated. And it's a nice little snapshot of my gaming past.
I don't own anything particularly valuable, and I've hardly kept any original boxes, but many of the games never made it to digital stores (and possibly never will).
No particular order, just how they've ended up arranged in the case I keep them in.
There's a few discs I can't add to the list. One is a local game compilation (I might put the individual games here one day). Three more are nothing but buildings and mods for SimCity 4. The final two don't exist because they're not a game - they're demo discs from a special edition of a PC magazine, and possibly the best demo discs of all time, containing: Age of Empires II, Battlezone II, C&C: Tiberian Sun, Comanche Gold, Curse of Monkey Island, Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, Descent II, Deus Ex, Diablo, Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, GP500, Grand Prix Legends, Ground Control, Half-Life, Hidden & Dangerous, Homeworld, Indiana Jones & The Infernal Machine, Lemmings Revolution, Myth II, Motocross Madness II, Pharaoh, Quake, Quake II, Quake III Arena, Re-Volt!, Starcraft, System Shock II, Tomb Raider IV, Total Annihilation, Unreal Tournament, Warcraft II, Wolfenstein 3D, Worms Armageddon, and finally X-Wing V Tie Fighter.

1 disc. I own the normal version, not "Black". Did you know this sold many more copies than the same-named 2012 version?
1 disc. For some reason, despite it being well over a decade ago, I can picture where I found it in the discount store I bought it from (the store itself is long gone). Available on GOG.com now.
2 discs. "Gold Edition", which is probably worse than the "Complete" version on Steam.
1 disc. My favourite third of a 'Tycoon' game bundle. Available on Steam with its expansion - but not in my region. Anybody want to swap for some trading cards?
1 disc. My version's named "M.A.D.: Mutually Assured Destruction". Surprisingly, it's a really fun game.
1 disc. The earliest gaming let-down I can remember (the PC game was completely different from the T3 console releases, and basically a sub-par copy of Battlefield) - it was released in 2003, so I guess I was either lucky or had no standards before then. It used GameSpy for multiplayer, so it's probably dead forever.
1 disc. I'm sure I got this free somehow (magazine subscription bonus perhaps?) but I was too dumb to play it without cheats (poundofflesh).
1 disc. I still have the manual, I think, but it's nothing special compared to the really big old flight sim manuals.
1 disc. My version is called 'Rally Championship 2000' and came free with issue #31 of the magazine Australian PC User.
1 disc. Came free with an unspecified issue of (Australian) PC PowerPlay. I still have the magazines in a box in an attic somewhere, though I dumped most of the discs.
