Best boxes

Games with boxes. That are best.

List items

• 

  1. Ultima IX: Ascension

  And a cloth map and tarot style cards.

• 

  2. Mortal Kombat

  Amiga version. It was one of the last or at least later releases of the game and just being such a big box, that bad ass dragon insignia which gave the impression that it was every bit as bad ass and dangerous as twelve Night Traps looked even more imposing when I was that age. Minimal superflua on amiga box too.

• 

  3. Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds
• 

  4. Beneath a Steel Sky

  Industrial level rough thick cardboard (confirmed on Amiga version, presumably others too) with the front graphic seemingly stenciled on and a sticker on the back as opposed to the standard shiny thin plasticy stuff of it's contemporarys, matched the games admirable dedication to it's aesthetic.
