Novelty CD's

[ChimpX]

Once RW becomes the booming success it is destined to be, maybe Tynan could consider releasing a Boomrat Special Boxed Edition, complete with old-school CD, spaceboar leather-bound manual, developers' diary, Lore of the Rim resource encyclopaedia, map of Rim Space printed on what is totally not human skin, escape pod survival tips seatback brochure, remastered soundtrack, cannibal's cookbook, Muffalo bobblehead and plush Boomrat body pillow.

I would so buy that.

My wife is a graphic designer who does package design and we would both love this! I still have the large format boxes from the 1990s. SO NOSTALGIA! What if there was a box to go with it? Or even a MANUAL! There are few games that deserve a place of honor on a shelf containing the last of the fucking Mohicans, Rimworld definitely does. I would be unable to contain myself if there were a readily available old-school large format box for this game!

I'm glad you are in the same boat as me. I love all my old boxes and they are part of my collection of gaming artifacts. I would like to say that my work can make the large format boxes, I am just not that good with graphic design to make a killer cover lol; however, I make manuals everyday for my clients, so I definitely could do that easily after these next few weeks. I got a pretty big project in so I haven't had the time to work on the other CD labels I had in mind.

Every once in a while I find a game IOB with original shrink wrap still 100% intact at a Goodwill, and the feeling is sublime. A couple of years back at the Portland, OR Goodwill on Burnside, I scored a copy of Master Levels for DOOM for something like $5.00. Not original DOOM but cool nonetheless. I've found Descent, Freespace, and my personal favorite, Deus Ex GOTYE. Honestly, I would probably die if I found the original Diablo (for that magnificent manual) or Quest for Glory: So You Want to Be a Hero (1992 VGA version).

the most obscure medias that I know of are
1. 3 inch floppy
2 3 & 1/4 inch floppy
3 stringy floppy
4 ls120 floppy
5 zipdisc
6 5 & 1/4 inch floppy
7 8 inch floppy
8 dc60 tape and other similar tapes
9 reel to reel tape
10 cassette tape
11 sparq disc
12 business card cd
13 mini cd/dvd
14 smartmedia memory cards from cameras

and of all these obsolete storage media, the only ones that can store the rimworld game archive (at 100mb approx) are the ls120, zipdisc ,sparq disc, mini cd/dvd, all the others have too small a storage capacity for the game

Believe it or not the place I work at we still have clients that pay for business card cds and cassette tapes. We have all the equipment for them and I make a few every week.

ironically, I also have the capability to produce high colour business card cds, minicd/dvd's, cd/dvd's as I have some stock of the blank printable media and several printers that can inkjet directly to the discs and have some limited experience with designing disc labels, but have not had actual need to produce in the last couple of years
