I am an artist myself and what has always fascinated me about PCs and games was the representation of a product/software on the CD/DVD case. I've had a collecting fever since my first PC game (Pharaoh) until today. This always captivated me but is not always 100% decisive for a purchase. I always thought that this fascination was also very strong among Publishers, but the last few years have shown that this trend is declining. Probably through the digital marketing of entertainment software. And because the case law is becoming increasingly strict in this regard. Which I think comes down to a lack of disrespect. But that is a different and much broader topic. On top of all this, the CD/DVD is now losing its function and is increasingly disappearing. Especially for computer games. Music is still sold in this way on a larger scale. So, in addition to my current video upload project ModDB and it's Media Content, I have already uploaded many wallpapers, covers and render images of my archive. Here you can find a small selection of games that I have added pictures. I'm using the covers for this and there will be many more to come.

Unfortunately, some images do not lead to the corresponding games because there are no permissions for uploading videos or images.

The blog will constantly updated, today, tomorrow...
Every day it could be expanded to include one more game.

!!! Watch Gamestar, PC Action, PC Games Videos !!!

The last few years (since the Corona pandemic) have caused massive damage even in the digital world of the Internet and for many inexplicable reasons, many media materials have disappeared or been deleted.
But apart from that, it has bothered me for a long time that publishers and developers offered less media content from many of their classic old games here on moddb than on other websites.
So, in addition to my current mod projects, I have now made it my goal to upload the content of my 20-year-old archive here or to provide as much of it as possible.

I've already started uploads of videos (Re-\Previews, Tests, Specials & Trailers) and images
(Wallpapers, Artworks, Concepts) for Rune, American McGee's Alice, Thief 2, Tron 2.0, Gothic/2 TNotR...
and there will be many more games like, Drakan, Unreal/Tournament, No One Lives Forever/A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way, Max Payne/The Fall of, Vampires Bloodlines etc. I will also offer alternatives to many images that have been upscaled with AI or in which logos and any fonts have been removed. Unfortunately, this endeavor will take a lot of time as ModDB often has a wait time after uploading multiple files.

RUNE - Halls of Valhalla (1.09)
Play As Female 0.8

The Mod itself is still W.I.P. It still needs work on voice files to cut out Ragnars name.
Another thing would be a new menu to choose your desired character before starting a new game.
