First box art for a computer game?

[edit]

Based on the NOWGamer/Retro Gamer retrospective on SSI, it really sounds like they are claiming that Computer Bismarck was the first commercially-released computer game to come in a real box rather than in a ziplock bag. Cursory Googling does not turn up any better answers, though if anyone already knows of an earlier example then obviously this is easily disconfirmed. 50.135.255.40 (talk) 05:21, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
