During the 80s, Electronic Arts released a lot of their games in album-like boxes. In addition to the unique form-factor, these would feature designers and other members of the team, much like you'd see in vinyl albums. EA would refer to themselves as an association of electronic artists.
I always appreciated these details, and encouraged me to seek out additional information on the people responsible for some of my favorite games.
I'm also disappointed that with few exceptions, the industry doesn't make it a point to showcase their developers anymore. I'd love to see details about developers pop-up on the title screen of games and/or making-of videos as a common practice.
