Games with Workbench icons

TroyWilkins · 22 February 2020, 12:32

I apologise if this has already been discussed, if it has, I'm sorry, I couldn't find the discussion here.

I saw elsewhere recently someone posted a screen capture of the icon for the classic game: "The Secret of Monkey Island", and that had quite a nicely drawn icon, with another nicely drawn graphic for when it was selected.

I know a lot of games loaded directly from the disk, without any need to click on an icon, but there were a few that started that way.

I know that anyone could make up their own icons, and indeed there were and are replacement icons, but I'm asking about the original icons for games, as found on the game disks without modification.

So does anyone know of any lists out there of games that have a Workbench icon for the game?

Almost all games which are HD installable have own icons. And even some which are not, so there are many games with icons.

It doesn't appear much effort was put into the icons for Civilisation, but that doesn't surprise me, given what I know now of the time crunch to get this game finished...

Think this Grab was around 1994

I know the DooM port had a lot of icons to choose from
