Shenmue was never released on PC for Windows 98, but there were rumors back in the day when I was a kid without a Dreamcast (and my parents were clear: ‘No way we are getting one’). Luckily, I got to play it through a close friend; and boy was Shenmue ahead of its time!

So years later, I decided to make the box anyway -> not a game, no software. Just a physical object that reimagines what the PC release could have looked like.

Every element was designed and assembled by me, from the cover illustration, to the box inserts, CDs, and items. I only created 10 boxes.

I've been working on this for about 6 months and I'd love honest feedback from the Shenmue community, people who actually know this game.

1. Does it feel right? What feels out of place?
2. Do you get why it exist?

Some have told me there was no point making this. I still disagree, and I think there are others out there who would feel like I do.

If you want to see more, go to cambureditions.com. Thanks to all, in advance!

By the way, this is a fan-project. No software included.

hi! does anyone here remember a superhero online game from the 2010s? here's everything I remember about it:

• it had its own website and I think you could play games and interact with other players
• you could have sidekicks which were monkeys/gorillas/something and I think there was another character involved too that you could have, but these were not other players I think you maybe got them from levelling up, etc
• it was set in Europe (I think) and I believe you could travel around - the only setting I really remember vividly was Paris, and I remember you could go inside the Louvre and a bon bon shop

I'd be hoary to answer any questions to help find it - I'm not sure its something that would still exist now but I'm dying to find it for the memories cuz it was my fav game as a kid 🥹

thanks!

This game is one I played in kindergarten around 2001 at my school library. It involves a bug collector finally finishing his collection but while trying to catch the last piece to his collection, a dragonfly he accidentally gets all the bugs loose chasing after the dragonfly in his lab. All of his bugs escape and he has to catch them again. He has to go out into town and explore where they might be and catch them. After catching one he has to prevent them from escaping by answering a multiple choice question on bugs correctly otherwise that bug escapes. I want to know what it is that I was playing.

This was a game my brother and his friend would play in Primary School. It was not educational and seemed to be a platformer where you would progress through a single screen level. He thinks you played as a female character, although he could be wrong, climbing to the top of the screen, in a similar way to the original Donkey Kong. The goal was to save your brother who was trapped in a cage. The cage was hanging over a vat of liquid. There was a bird villain pecking the rope which would lead to the brother falling into the vat if you did not succeed. There was an egg timer keeping track of time.
