GOG Introduces Printable Big Box Collection
PC gaming platform GOG has launched a new feature called "Printable Big Box" for a selection of its classic game titles. This initiative provides users with downloadable 3D models and high-resolution printable templates of the original "big box" PC game packaging. The goal is to allow players to recreate the physical boxes that were common for PC games before digital distribution became prevalent.
Available Titles and Download Formats
Currently, the "Printable Big Box" collection includes five games: Armikrog, Descent, Hitman: Codename 47, Myst, and Star Trek: 25th Anniversary. Users browsing these games on the GOG store will find "3D Boxes" listed under the "Goodies" section. Owners of these games can download a ZIP file containing the box art as an animated 3D object file in GLB format and a flat printable template in PDF, SVG, and Adobe Illustrator formats.
Preservation Through Papercraft
GOG describes this feature as a "proper papercraft project" for those who miss physical PC game boxes. The company stated that physical media often does not survive over time, with boxes getting lost or discarded. By scanning and providing printable versions, GOG extends its mission of preserving classic games to include the physical objects they originally came in, ensuring that this aspect of PC gaming history is also maintained.
