Statistics show, that the 3D boxes over at BigBoxCollection.com have been viewed in total over 717,000 times since the site's redesign in Nov 2023. Below, a breakdown of the most viewed boxes. PS: The push thanks to @gog.com's press release this Tuesday resulted in 37k views over the past 5 days.

Here's an chart showing the top 100 3D boxes that had been viewed on BigBoxCollection.com since the gog.com news broke. First three are featured on the landing page. No surprise those ranking high. Next is Doom. No surprise either. The rest? I'd say, a pretty solid list of fantastic titles 😎

Looking for a box that's no longer on bigboxcollection.com? Well, I really, really, really had to downsize a bit for restoring order in my chambers folks, so we're down from 1,000+ boxes to 890ish. bigboxcollection.com/694.blog

@pcgamer.com linked my site bigboxcollection.com for a trip down memory lane about... Tunnel B1 🤪 Yeah, that weird German DOS game (ping @dosnostalgic.bsky.social ) featuring none other than Chris Hülsbeck on its OST. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/th...

The first physical PC game I remember playing shows what Sony is thoughtlessly destroying
Me and a bunch of big-box PC games are going to go full boomer or prove a very important point.

in terms of work? There's no AI there. I'm like one of those weird old Japanese dudes you find on YT making artisan toothpicks with 100 year old wood. I fuck about with stuff, I poke at it until it pleases me, the fact that it pleases me is what I think people want from me.

#C64 #Delphian progress: modified my own 3D model editor to output files for the C64, so now I have a spaceship in game.🙂Lots of changes to the 3D engine to support polygon types: points, lines, triangles, quads, and pentagons. Solid polygons might be playable on a 1Mhz C64...🤔

Back home from X party and of course, I've found some games there that just had to be added to my collection. Speaking of my collection, there's quite a pile to scan building up and, well, there's a big surprise coming up in a couple of weeks 😎

Creating the key art for the remaster of Thief: The Dark Project was a dream come true. I'm incredibly grateful to Nightdive Studios @nightdivestudios.bsky.social for trusting me with a small part of this incredible project. This legendary game couldn't be in better hands!

Ok, the Gobliiins Collection does look really nice. Multiple versions of the first 3 games, original localizations preserved, aspect ratio & border options, box and disk scans, and a documentary. I really hope to see a PC port someday. youtu.be/hGf3jZzOcLE?...

BTW, still working on getting all the StreetSportsPogo.com achievements checked. #20 should be doable, but I know 16 & 17 are a drag 🙃 BTW, @merman1974.bsky.social or @logrus.uk, do you know any other #C64 games with an achievement system? It's not part of a single save but tracked beyond sessions.

Funny, still haven't beaten Ninja's top score when playing my own game StreetSportsPogo.com for #C64 Also, knowing that you're recording your jump does have an significant impact on concentration - didn't even manage to crack the top 5 🤪

This picture has been tweaked/extended using AI and/or sloppy content-aware fills, right? Some details visible on scans are missing and the "extended border" doesn't really line up in parts either.
