Monday. Busy Monday. Busy as hell Monday, but also one featuring the 31st addition to the pointlessly celebrated
Museum Monday series. An addition exclusively dealing with legendary publisher
Origin (
of Lord British fame), thus linking to the aptly named
Origin Museum. Just follow the link and relive the glory days of the PC. The lovingly remembered era of
Ultima and
Wing Commander. The era before
DOOM; even before
Wolfenstein 3D. The era of still
impressive game boxes , as the following picture should illustrate.
