We have been graced with another IndieBox to take a look at, and this month the featured game is Forced. Take a look with us!
This month we got a poster, two collectable pin badges, a soundtrack, a game manual, the incredibly fancy USB stick (which came with the files on this time!) with the DRM free copy and I love the case the usb comes in as it uses a little magnet to connect together rather than a clip...fancy! There are some temporary tattoos this time around too which is quite a fun addition. Lastly it even came with a Rogue Legacy sticker which is now nicely stuck to my laptop!
Is there much in life better than the smell of a brand new game box opening? The smell of a brand new game manual brings me back!
Here are some pictures for you lovely people!

Why I love IndieBox:
IndieBox reminds me of the glorious days of DOS games. Back when many of today's AAA developers were still small and some of them, like former iD legend John Carmack, didn't even own their own computers, having to haul them in from their workplace during the weekends. Back when games were still mostly published by individuals or smaller companies, but came in decently sized big boxes with beautiful swag catering to fans of the game.
Those were simpler times. Way back when most people were still on dialup and people went to the nearest game-store to grab themselves a hardcopy of their favourite gaming magazine, just so they may find out about the games coming out in the next few months.
IndieBox is like this. An elegant product, for a more civilized age :)

Well, I like it because they are Linux-friendly, and support indie developers in the cut-throat saturated marked. The only way to survive is to be different, and this may be it. Even though I am not a strong believer in the future of physical game distribution. A cautious, slightly pessimistic love, I guess. :)

This ain't exactly the subject here, but wasn't there an option for supporters to enable ads back?
I am not finding this option anymore :|

Does anyone know if the DRM free version of Forced is restricted to local coop? AFAIK this game hasn't got any network capabilities outside Steam. I may be wrong.

Dang! I would have loved to get that Teslagrad box! :-(

For me, it brings back memories of my childhood with the NES. The barely containable excitement you feel when you open the box and begin sifting through the manual while carefully handling the brand new gold cartridge (thinking The Legend of Zelda) as everybody gathers around for the first play (or chime in on making it work, since it was the NES). It's an excellent idea, and would make a terrific gift for any longtime gamer who remembers the days (and maybe still has) a big box containing dozens of little plastic boxes containing game cartridges and their manuals. Ah.... Nostalgia. Good times.

Indiebox takes me back to the good old days of going into a game shop & rummaging through the big boxes with their 1000 page manuals & other assorted bits & pieces that serve no other purpose than to look cool on the shelf.

I would be very interested if it was ecological. But I can't destroy the planet for my own pleasure more than I already do.

I noticed they put some extra goodies on the flash drive this time :)

I remember every single video game box I opened in my life, I've got tons of them in my living room, from Deus Ex and Silver for Mac OS 9 bought back in the days to recent Wii RPGs in Collector's Edition like The Last Story and such. Boxed games had something in common with of traditional board games, you had a common feeling about them.
Nowadays I won't remember the moment I bought this or that Steam game (apart from Metro: LL which I bought in order to test my brand new GPU...) for the simple reason that you don't have an object to worship.
The IndieBox is indeed a great initiative in that respect, and even greater, they seem to do it damn well.

Why I love IndieBox ?
Two words : Indie and Box. :D
I think it's great to support indie developers, even more when I remember that back in the first Humble Indie Bundle days, they gave me my first awesome Linux games. (World of Goo... so great!)
And, as pretty much everyone has already said : the box. The old DOS days, memories of the childhood, the fantastic gear they provide with their boxes.. It's really a great idea.
