Although it may be hard to believe for those who haven’t experienced it, there was a time when PC video games came in huge boxes. Very well taken care of, with manuals, maps, and all kinds of extras, buying a game was a truly sensory experience<\/strong>. In fact, the gaming experience would begin even before getting home. Just by seeing that enormous box and everything it contained and promised inside, our imagination would soar as far as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now these boxes are practically non-existent. The industry is driven by profits and cutting back on packaging, distribution, and industrial design was a way to make more money from each copy sold<\/strong>. That’s why they are now little more than objects of nostalgia and collectibles. Fortunately, a man has decided to make them accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Big Box Collection website<\/a><\/strong> is literally what its name indicates. A visual collection of video game boxes created by Benjamin Wimmer, which allows us to appreciate how those carefully crafted releases were<\/strong>. All of this without leaving out a single detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
