Quick take
If you are shopping for PC game physical media, the first decision is not which game to play. It is whether you want a playable stack, a themed collection, or a piece of history. Ask yourself whether you are opening a box to play tonight or adding a piece to a display, because those two goals pull in different directions. These four lots cover all three, from a low-cost Age of Empires collectible to a higher-priced Star Wars classic edition set. In between there is a mystery-focused bundle and a mixed vintage DVD-ROM lot. The right choice comes down to what your shelf is for.

Product notes
Big Fish and National Geographic Hidden Object Mystery Lot
This bundle gives you a full shelf of hidden-object and mystery CD-ROM cases from two publisher names: Big Fish Games and National Geographic. The 16 physical discs include multiple two-game packs, and the set draws from series like Mystery Case Files, Hidden Expedition, Grim Facade, and National Geographic's Herod's Lost Tomb. If you like atmospheric puzzle-solving and story-driven investigations, this bundle is a clear fit for that style. The trade-off is that the theme is narrow. The listed titles stay in the puzzle-adventure space, so this lot is not aimed at someone who wants to sample every genre at once.
Vintage PC DVD-ROM Games
This is the lot for genre-hopping. The 10 pre-owned discs include Dune 2000, Dark Sun, EverQuest, Dragon Rage, Age of Empires, Commandos, Baldur's Gate, The Forgotten Realms Archives, and The Temple of Elemental Evil. That mix stretches from real-time strategy to role-playing to action-adventure, so it is a practical way to begin a retro PC library without committing to one series. The practical limitation is the good but pre-owned condition, which means you are getting a mixed used bundle rather than a carefully curated set. For someone who just wants to explore a wide range of older PC games, that is an easy trade.
Star Wars Physical PC Limited Run Games Classic Edition
If condition matters more than anything else, this Star Wars set is the sealed-condition choice. It is brand new and factory sealed, and the Limited Run Games release is region free. The title points to the classic X-Wing and Jedi Knight lines, with action-adventure, shooter, and war genres attached. The main drawback is the price of USD 89.77, which is the highest listed price in this comparison. The sealed games also come with some cardboard wear and creasing on the outer packaging, so this is a collector-condition purchase rather than a display-perfect one. Choose it when you want a sealed Star Wars physical PC set, not a budget library.
Age of Empires Big Box Set
This lot is a niche buy. It contains the Age of Empires big box and manuals only, with no game disc included, so it is not a way to start playing. What it offers is a physical piece of the Microsoft-published strategy classic's original packaging. At USD 13.99, it is the least expensive listed price in the group, which makes sense because it is a documentation set rather than a full game. If you already own Age of Empires or simply want the big-box material as display or reference, this is the lowest-cost way into that collectible corner. If you need a playable disc, look elsewhere.
Final recommendation
For a playable mix across several genres, start with Vintage PC DVD-ROM Games. For a themed mystery-adventure collection, the Big Fish and National Geographic lot is the better fit. If you are buying Star Wars physical PC media, the Limited Run Games classic edition set is the one to get. And if you collect the physical artifacts around classic strategy games, the Age of Empires Big Box Set gives you the most focused piece for the least money. Let condition and price guide you: used discs for playing, collector sets for collecting, and big-box material for display.
