SKYROADS BOX ART

Anyone who uses Boxer for DOSBox emulation will be familiar with the shelf-style display at the game selection screen.

I've recently been tidying up my games and noticed that a few were missing their box artwork. I then sourced a few of the boxes from the website Moby Games but unfortunately there was nothing for one of my favourite games, 1993's SkyRoads by Estonian Blue Moon. SkyRoads had never received a commercial release, and thus never had a retail box.

At this stage I decided to make my own SkyRoads box art, in the style of other DOS games from early nineties. For a touch of authenticity, a sticker for the SkyRoads XMAS Special was added to the cover. It was fairly common to bunch in expansions and other additions in retail boxes at the time.

So there you have it. Incidentally, Blue Moon Interactive went on to develop early P2P software such as Kazaa and Skype. You can download a version of SkyRoads to play yourself on their website.

Feel free to use this SkyRoads box cover art for your own Boxer collection.
