Sim City Packaging

Prompted by a friend I recently bought SimCity 2000 on Good Old Games for $4. The conversation turned to PC gaming packaging, which reminded me I probably still had the original games. I was happy to find the below. I particularly miss the large manuals, I remember the SimEarth manual (click on link for full copy of the 236 page publication) was particularly dense, in physicality and content, sadly I no longer have it.

Generally speaking, as the PC game boom continued the packaging got larger and more creative in an attempt to take up more shelf space and grab consumers attention. My collecting of PC physical game media ended in 2013, when I went out of my way to buy the latest Tomb Raider game in physical form, only to get home and find nothing more than a Steam download code within the box.

I hope you enjoy these pictures,

Game Under Podcast Ep. 150

One hundred and fifty episodes. They said we’d never make it, but we finally broke through. Actually, I’m not sure what they said, if they said anything at all, but eleven years into this podcast Tom and I have put out 150 episodes. To mark the occasion we’ve put together a memorable news section, and then spend examining Roblox, and come to some surprising conclusions.

Oh, and the spider monkeys will make sense when you listen to the show.

Thanks for listening,
