Here's one but it's small and it doesn't have the back cover scan
It would be nice a 300dpi scan for every cover

Ew. I hate that box. they had a similar one for Cosmo.

I think you can trace it back to the '80s...

I like that box! I definitely prefer that over any live action covers like that of Keen 6!

I thought that was a drawing.

Hey, that Vorticons box is mine!

I can rescan it, and the back as well, if you guys would like.

That would be awesome!

300dpi is fine for us

Are there any other full-size boxes for the vorticons trilogy, or is that the official art?

Sorry it took so long, box compression was giving me issues...
As you wished, in 300 dpi,
Front:

Back:

There was no official box-art. Back then Apogee didn't distribute games in boxes, and each distributor (I believe) made their own boxes if they wished. I've never seen pictures of any other boxes on the interwebs though.

Nice. Has some nerd humor on the back.

I remember buying the game ages ago, at around '95 or '96. Good ol' days. But, it was just a single floppy with a small picture/slip on it. So I guess they stopped selling it boxes by then. Mom then wrote on the back of it which made my so sad, and then I guess she threw it out. :.(

Here's the Keen 4/5 Box Scanned in 300dpi. Box is in really good shape, this is a professional scan.
Hope that this is what you are looking for
P.S. it's not mine, i just found it on the internet

Actually no. I got mine without a box. It was just a floppy with a little piece of paper, wrapped in some shrinkwrap thing. The computer store had several of them. :/

This was in the mid 1990s. Perhaps 1995 or 1996.
