GOG is adding five printable "big box" templates to its preservation program

The gaming platform GOG is expanding its Preservation Program by adding five new titles featuring interactive 3D box scans. The program aims to preserve classic games sold on the store and make them playable on modern systems. GOG has partnered with Big Box Collection to offer flat, printable versions of the 3D box art, allowing users to recreate the game box replicas.

This initiative addresses the durability and reliability issues of physical media, offering a tangible replica of the original game boxes. The program includes titles such as Star Trek: 25th Anniversary, Armikrog, Descent, Hitman: Codename 47, and Myst, all with their corresponding 3D dioramas created by scanning the original packaging elements.

GOG chose the GLB format to share the interactive 3D objects, ensuring easy viewing with native 3D viewers on Windows and macOS.
