Remember When Video Games Came In Big Boxes?

I most certainly do as I'm collecting them. For sharing my games with other (retro) gaming heads, I decided to turn all of the 1,009 boxes* filing up my NerdWall™ into shiny 3D!

All boxes can be zoomed and rotated and some can even be looked at from top and bottom angles. Also, double click/tap a box with a gatefold cover or sleeve cover to open them up.

The site is a one-man show and done in my spare time. I do try to keep it as up-to-date as possible but sometimes, well, life happens and the time from picking up a new box until it's available in 3D with all bells and whistles does vary quite a bit. I'm trying to keep you all posted via the blog though.

Anyway, I better stop babbeling and let you jump right in. Use the search in the top right corner or start with one of the games listed below.

Enjoy,
Benjamin

* Well, lots of boxes and some not so boxy ones

Statistics

There are 1,009 games available in 3D on this site and piling them all up would result in a stack 36.7m high and with a volume of 1.59m³. When adding up all sides there's 112.58m² of boxart, not counting the 78 gatefolds and 2 sleeve covers available to explore on this site. Further, there's a total of 950 photos showing the games' contents.

With the disks, CDs and whatnot of 974 boxes indexed, there's a total of 2,011 media. Here's a breakdown

871 × CD-ROM
606 × Floppy (3.5")
257 × Floppy (5.25")
113 × Tape
92 × DVD
31 × Book/Comic
25 × Audio CD
6 × Flash Drive
4 × Download
4 × Cartridge
1 × Vinyl
1 × VHS

In regard of fidelity, 685 out of the 1,009 boxes have all six sides scanned. I'm working on adding more but this comes down to finding the time needed for scanning and editing. There's also 78 boxes with a gatefold cover that can be flipped open by double-clicking the box. Also, 132 boxes do have specific textures for their reflectiveness. It's a subtl effect but IMHO worth all the work, just look at Morrowind or Beneath a Steel Sky.

For 369 boxes, the artists of the box art have been identified. In total, there are 172 artists indexed and for 113 boxes, the original art is available.

Since the site's redesign on November 24, 2023, the boxes have been viewed 409,826 times. That's a whoping 29 games per hour over these past 19 months.

NerdWall™

A 207 megapixel panorama of the shelf behind me taken in October 2021. There's no real order to the games on the shelf, except grouping some series. Why? It keeps browsing fun, even for me when looking for a specific box. Further, bigger boxes (e.g. US releases) are in the top, while the standardized Euroboxes fit in perfectly in the lower rows. The wall is 3.6m x 2.28m x 0.2m (bottom row 0.4m) and — you've guessed it — it's all IKEA (Bestå)

Greenscreen it

posted 2025-01-29 20:50:00

Your hobby is making videos about old games?
You want to add a big box to your video?
A spinning 3D one?

Well, listen up: Each and every box on this site can be opened in a "Greenscreen" mode, which means, you can just go ahead and record any 3D box. Thanks to chroma keying, the box can then be overlayed with your footage.
Neat, huh?

Here's what you need to do:

  1. Open the box you're looking for.
  2. Insert a /Greenscreen/ into the URL e.g.
    bigboxcollection.com/Morrowind.3DBox turns into bigboxcollection.com/Greenscreen/Morrowind.3DBox
  3. Do your thing!

Boxes can still be rotated, zoomed and panned and gatefolds opened (gatefold icon is hidden though) in this mode.

For credits, please add a link to BigBoxCollection.com to your video and/or its description. Also, send me a link; it's fun seeing where my boxes end up :-)

I've been researching artists for a while now and guess what, I'm somewhat done for now and integrated all the data not only in the filter but also into the various box views as well as an overview page.

Please mind, that there are still a lot of boxes on this vitural shelf lacking this information and I would kindly ask anybody who does have a name or hint on the artist behind those fantastic covers to drop me a line.

Enjoy.

Hi, Benjamin here

I'm a nerd living in Vienna, Austria and host of this site. You can get in touch with me via benjamin@bigboxcollection.com.

It all started back in 1988 on the humble C64 before moving on to DOS/Win with GameBoy, SNES, and N64 on the side, so to speak. I'm not only a gameer but also a collector, although I didn't set out to be one; I just kept all the games that I've bought over the years. Well, until 2005ish at least. That's when big box games got replaced with first smaller boxes and then later DVD cases until Steam and gog.com came around and we all went digital on PC.

However, back in 2012, I stumbled upon a new release for Commodore 64 called C64anabalt, and guess what?

It's a physical release! In a box! A (very) small one, but a box!

With finding C64anabalt, my love for boxed games was reigneted, and I began to track down all the games I had only owned as budget release, as well as all the classics that I had always wanted to play but never had the chance to. Classifieds and eBay offered almost everything for a few bucks, and soon enough, I had more games than I could keep track of.

To share my growing collection online with other retro gamers, I started taking photos of my games. Although it worked, managing multiple photo albums and a private spreadsheet with all the data became quite cumbersome and far from ideal. I realized that combining both elements was the way to go — building upon my spreadsheet and creating a website that would showcase a virtual copy of my NerdWall™.

Photo of the NerdWall

In 2015, I launched BigBoxCollection.com. Here, I host 3D models textured with high-resolution scans of my boxes, allowing visitors to click through and explore. The site has changed over the years staring with a more dark and gritty look before restarting with a clean one in May 2016. In 2023, I thought I'd add a dark theme but instead of just tweaking the CSS files, I've reimplemented the whole site, reworked mouse & touch controls and added features that I've always wanted to have but never found the time for like panning the 3D boxes as well as visualizing gatefolds.

Spotlight on the Artists

There are some truly iconic looking boxes out there — Ultima VII, Doom and Monkey Island are almost always mentioned when discussing this topic — and we all have our personal favorites. Me, I have Dungeon Hack, Elvira 2 and Mageslayer fighting for the top spot.

Picking your favorite box is hard; naming the artist behind the box art is often even harder and in some cases impossible due to being unknown.

Adding additional info bits is high on my ToDo list, and after a brief interaction with OriginalVideoGameArt.com, I ticked one of this ToDos off and finally sat down and started researching artists. What you see here is the main result: all the identified artists behind one or more boxes in my collection. Filtering for artists is possible too and in some cases, I've uploaded the original artworks. If you want to dive in deeper, there's also links to their websites and other external resources like MobyGames, Wikipedia and the already mentioned OVGA site.

Last but not least, there are still a lot of boxes where I don't have any information about the artist yet, but I'm working on it. Help is highly welcomed and for that, please check the list at the end of this page.

For 369 boxes, the artists of the box art have been identified. In total, there are 172 artists indexed and for 113 boxes, the original art is available.

Help me identify artists

Documentation and credits aren't always complete, especially for older games, and thus it's not always easy to look up who did what exactly. Further, there's often just 'Artwork' or 'Illustrations' which could be in game graphics, manual drawings or — you've guessed it — box art.
While I have managed to identify many artists so far, there are still loads of boxes with missing information.

If you happen to know the box artist of any of boxes listed below, please drop me a line.

Phu, that's a lot, right? Please don't forget to drop me a line if you can identify the artist responsible for any of these boxes.

Cheers
Benjamin

Privacy statement

Purpose of the privacy policy

This privacy statement is for bigboxcollection.com, a site run by me, Benjamin Wimmer, and according to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), I have a duty to protect your personal data. In this statement, I outline which data is reached during the use of bigboxcollection.com, how it is collected, and also what I use this data for.

Data capture

Your data are collected by the following data processing operations.

Log data

Each time you access the website, the visit is recorded in a log file (server logs) for a period of 190 days with the following log data:

  • IP address of the enquirer
  • call method (GET, HEAD, PUT)
  • target address without HOST
  • minutes with version (e.g. HTTP/1.1)
  • name of the file retrieved and amount of data transferred
  • date and time of the retrieval
  • notification indicating whether the retrieval was successful
  • processing time of the request in microseconds
  • user agent used
  • SSL version used
  • referrer

This data is used for system security verification, error analysis and for statistical purposess.

Statistics

bigboxcollection.com counts how often a 3D box is viewed, from where the 3D box was accessed from and also tries to map those views to sessions. For this, the following data is processed:

  • 3D box accessed
  • IP address of the enquirer
  • user agent used
  • referrer

For mapping views to sessions, an anonymizised fingerprint is generated using a combination of the IP address and the user agent data. The fingerprint is generated using a one-way hash function with the given user data and other, internal data as input values. The provided input will always result in the same fixed length set of characters but it is impossible to determine what the original input was because the encryption algorithm only goes one way.

Adding other, internal data that's only known to bigboxcollection.com to the set of input data is done for forcing the result set's uniqueness, increasing its complexity and thus hightening the level of anonymization.

The fingerprint is used to clear the "Games, that have just been looked up"-panel on the starting page from the boxes that have been looked up during your current session and thus only show boxes from other sessions. Further, it is used to help spam detection.

The 3D box viewed, the provided referrer and the generated fingerprint are stored and used for internal statistics as well as for generating content for bigboxcollection.com, e.g. how often a box has been viewed so far and for generating the "Games, that have just been looked up"-panel.

Cookies

bigboxcollection.com does not use any cookies.

Data storage

To ensure the availability and reliability of bigboxcollection.com, I utilize the services of an external web hosting provider. This hosting provider securely stores and processes data associated with your interactions on the site. While I maintain responsibility for the data collected, certain technical aspects of data storage and server management are outsourced to the hosting provider. I have chosen a reputable hosting service committed to data security and privacy, and contractual agreements are in place to ensure compliance with relevant data protection laws.

Other than that, there is no transfer of your data to any other third parties.

SSL encryption

To ensure the secure transmission of data between your device and bigboxcollection.com, I utilize SSL technology. SSL is a cryptographic protocol that provides a secure connection by encrypting the data exchanged between your web browser and bigboxcollection.com. This encryption safeguards your personal information, such as IP addresses and user agents, during the transmission process, enhancing the overall security of your interactions with our website.

By using SSL, I aim to protect your data from unauthorized access and ensure that your online experience on bigboxcollection.com is conducted in a secure environment.

Data subject rights

You have the right to information about data concerning yourself, as well as the right to have data rectified or deleted. You have a right to restrict or to object to data processing, as well as the right to transfer data.

If you consider that your rights are not being complied with or are not being ad-equately complied with, you have the possibility to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Authority.
