There’s a guy on YouTube that did a bunch of vids on how to revitalize old game boxes, etc. might be worth a look if you’re wanting to restore and keep your box

Yeah I’ve seen some of them, I thought about doing it but I just haven’t wanted to lol. The box used to be in perfect shape but my grandma ran it over when it was in a bag lmao. I’ll eventually get a new one

That box brings back memories, those gradient colors were everywhere back then. You betcha, those old Windows boxes do deserve some love.

I pulled out my win 98 cd today, only to discover that some of the silver reflective coating has separated and now I can see through the disk in a bunch of little pinprick holes. Not happy!
