GOG is recreating the nostalgic "big box" packaging of retro PC games through downloadable printable templates. The digital storefront is also offering 3D models as part of its preservation efforts.
GOG has launched a new initiative to bring back the distinctive large cardboard boxes that once housed classic PC games. Users can now download printable templates to recreate authentic packaging for titles in GOG's catalog.
The project includes high-resolution designs based on original artwork and specifications from the games' original releases. Players can print and assemble the boxes themselves, allowing collectors to display physical representations of their digital purchases.
Beyond templates, GOG is providing downloadable 3D models of classic game boxes for digital viewing and potential 3D printing. The effort aligns with GOG's broader mission to preserve gaming history and maintain the cultural significance of older titles.
The initiative targets the growing community of retro gaming enthusiasts who value physical media and packaging design as part of the gaming experience. GOG continues adding templates and 3D models to the collection.
