View Full Version : Odd Packaging/toys in video games

Some video console games have neat packaging or extras when they are released. (Like the re-releases of the lunars.) Focusing on the classic stuff, what ones do you have or have seen?

Some of the ones I have I like are:

1)A gameboy Daisenryaku that comes with a little model tank
2) Another gameboy Daisenryaku (might actually be one of the gameboy wars (pre-advance wars) series - I am at work so I can't check) that came in a little tin box (looks like a small bandaid box) that is decorated in camoflage.
3) A famicom version of Miracle Warriors that comes with a pewter figure and a cloth map in a pretty nifty oversize plastic case.

(A lot of pc games came with neat stuff but that is probably worthy of athread of its own.)


(I didn't see another thread like this and wasn't quite sure how to search for it - if it is there can someone merge them?)

didn't the 50 cent game come with a fako bulletproof jacket around it?

no that's IN the box, like extras that came in the box, not the box itself.

OK - the gameboy game in the can I have is Gameboy Wars Turbo by Hudson.

I hate that damn Viva Pinata box.

Fortunately I hated the game too so I never had to put up with that box on my shelf.
