PC gaming platform GOG is tapping into nostalgia by introducing a new "Printable Big Box" collection. The initiative allows users to download 3D models and high-resolution, printable templates for classic PC game packaging. Currently, the collection features five titles: Armikrog, Descent, Hitman: Codename 47, Myst, and Star Trek: 25th Anniversary. Owners of these games on GOG can access ZIP files containing animated 3D objects in GLB format, as well as flat templates in PDF, SVG, and Adobe Illustrator formats. GOG describes this project as a form of digital preservation, noting that while physical boxes are often lost or damaged over time, providing printable scans allows fans to recreate the iconic shelf-ready aesthetic of early PC gaming. This move highlights the platform's ongoing commitment to both software compatibility and the cultural history of the medium.
