This is my favourite topic
Posted January 16, 2010
Well - after doing a search I didn't find this so I will start another "Favorite" Topic. I think this one is a bit odd being that we are all participating in a digital downloads community but we do like these old games and they did come in some very cool boxes. So, here goes.
What is your Favorite Game Box?
I will have to Start with Might and Magic IV and V. Still have them and they are great.

Eh... I don't know about most of the world, but in Hungary, in the past ~10 years, I've only managed to buy games in DVD-cases, wihout a larger box. I recall two exceptions (Jack Orlando and Capitalism Plus), but those are from at least 10 years ago, thus not in aforementioned period. Oh, and Total War: Eras, but that's a Collector's Edition-like thing, so that goes without saying.
I know I didn't really reply to the original intention of the thread, but this means I can't really pick a "favorite game box" (sorry, can't choose a favorite out of three).

Are we talking about 'box arts' or the general content of the box (cloth maps, thick manuals, etc)?

Dawn of War - Not the horribly botched GoTY art, but the original.
Grand Theft Auto Somalia

I was actually thinking of Starting a Favorite Additional Content Thread but if you want to do it hear thats fine. My intention was box art.

You do not have to own it or have purchased it recently. There are some really cool things out there I am sure you have seen.

I cleared out my old game boxes a few years ago, and i think the only ones I kept were:
interstate 76
Tie Fighter, collector's edition. (big, thick, heavy box).
Daggerfall.
Terminator Future Shock (or maybe skynet...)

The European and Japanese ICO art. Conveys the feel perfectly.
