GOG Introduces Nostalgic Printable Game Boxes Amid Calls to Preserve Physical Media
GOG is offering free printable versions of 1990s PC game boxes for fans to create their own nostalgic packaging at home. The files are part of the company's Preservation Program and include five classic games: Myst, Descent, Hitman: Codename 47, Star Trek: 25th Anniversary, and Armikrog.
Game owners (and anyone who simply wants something cool to put on their shelf) can now download a ZIP file with a 3D model and box templates. Windows and macOS users can open the GLB file in a 3D viewer to rotate it, view the box from different angles, and watch animated flaps that show how the original packaging opened. When printed, the templates can be folded to create a paper replica of the old game box.
