I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I haven't found anything after searching :)

So, what is the coolest/most unusual/biggest/most beautiful/etc box you have in your collection? I'd like to see photos/scans of course :D

I personally really love painted boxarts like they were done in the 80ies/early 90ies. I sometimes just buy an old game because the box looks so cool. That's why I hate modern console/PC games with their cheap DVD boxes :/

2 points....Steel Battalion is awesome and nope, you didn't mention any boxes.

Personally, I love my boxed Arkanoid with controller for NES. It's just so damn cool!

Sin and Punishment is probably my favorite:

Sylphia on the PCE. It's the only time I ever bought a game based solely on the fact that I loved the cover artwork. Was my desktop background for quite a while back in the day.

I lucked out later to realize it was a cool and hard to find game. :)

Well, I don't have any boxes which are *that* special, and 99% of my collection is not here where I live atm. But ok, just to show anything, I could offer Darkseed, which is one of the few games I've got here in my appartment :) (The rectangular artwork is partially sticking out of the plane of the box)
