Box Art Documentary Sheds Light on Lost Art

Now is a time for me to show my age with the typical “back in my day” slogan. Back in my day, video games were covered in art. In the glory days, before the back box art was crammed with small text in every known language, used probably to avoid some sort of legal issue, there was artwork on the cover of the box, the instruction manuals, and the game itself.

Fallout 4 Let’s You Be Who You Want with Mods on Consoles
