Early computer-game packaging – the way we were

Yep. Everything becomes collectible given enough time. And that’s a good thing. Looking back and seeing how quaint things used to be in any cultural realm is always fun, not to mention revealing.

Here’s a nice trip back through the early days of packaging for computer games and other software. And while you’re looking, check out some of the Related Videos that show up – Apple II anyone? :-) 

And while you’re at it, here’s a great history of PC game packaging that I referred to in a previous blog post on the subject. Enjoy!
