Paper and cloth maps from the past

1. Retro gaming spotlight
2. adventure, RPG

Many old games published during an age of PC video gaming where digital distribution was still a dream of some publishers, came in physical boxes full of various goodies.

A few enlightened publishers gifted (well, we paid...) us players with gorgoeus maps. RPG was perhaps the genre that most of all took advantage of paper and cloth maps. Think about Ultima: the maps of Britannia were among the finest ever made.

Here on Abandonware DOS I tried to gather the most stunning maps ever printed, in digital form. Here are some of them:

• The Bard's Tale
• The Magic Candle
• The Magic Candle 2
• Star Control 2
• Ultima VI
• Ultima VII
• Arcanum
• A Nightmare on Elm Street
• Police Quest 1
• Savage Empire: Eodon
• Martian Dreams
• Zork
• Wishbringer
• Amberstar
• The Great Escape

Download them, print them and enjoy them!
