Part of why I enjoying collecting video games are the cases. When people look at me like I?m crazy for buying physical copies, I usually base my defense on the experience of opening a new game, but there's much more to it. My friends and I used to hit the video rental store every Friday, and despite the old adage we had no other way of choosing a game other than what we saw on the cover. I?m sure this contributed to my infatuation with cover art, but I?ve talked to enthusiasts of other media, particularly music, and they share a similar love for album covers. When the games are on the shelf and all-- er, most-- the spines are uniform, it's a great feeling.
