Bringing Back The Good Old Days Of PC Game Boxes

The idea behind IndieBox is very simple: Sell indie games in a box. Why? Because getting a game in a box, with a colour manual and a poster, is a really nice touch, that’s why. Sure, it’s easy to get an indie game on Steam, or in a Humble Bundle, or however, but that’s not…

“The game still needs a lot of work.” That’s how one person who finally managed to get their hands on a working version of the mysterious fighting game Death Cargo described it in a note to me this morning. “It’s not too bad…like a buggy version of Mortal Kombat 1,” is how another put it.…
