Walnut Creek CD and DVD ROM was a pioneering digital media publisher active mainly in the 1990s and early 2000s. The company became widely known for collecting and distributing large libraries of software, games, and internet content on CD-ROMs and later DVD-ROMs, making digital resources accessible before high-speed internet was common. Walnut Creek played an important role in preserving early internet culture, especially open-source and shareware communities.
Some of its well-known titles include “The Slackware Linux CD Set,” “FreeBSD CDROM,” “SimTel Collection,” “Project Gutenberg CD-ROM,” and the popular “Anime Music Video (AMV) Collections.” Through these releases, Walnut Creek CD and DVD ROM helped shape how software and digital content were shared and archived during the early days of personal computing.
