Here's one I've been wanting to do for a while! I was waiting until I had a few more to show, but figured why not go ahead since I have quite a few anyway. More for later whenever I get them. And yeah, lots of videos this past week. I'm going to be out of state for a couple weeks starting this Wednesday, so I'll be away from LGR and am just working ahead!

LGR - Unusually Shaped PC Game Boxes

Collecting big box PC games is fun enough, but it's a real treat to find packages with unique shapes and designs. A selection of the most unusual computer game boxes in my collection!

Have a nice trip! I hope you're going to see some friends.

Cool subject! I loved the Eidos boxes myself back in the day (huge TR fan). Have a good and safe trip Clint.

Oh my god, 3D Body Adventure. For years I've been looking for the game the seriously creeped me out as a kid, but could never remember the name of it. For some reason, the heart attack scene was seriously the freakiest thing I'd experienced at that point, so much so that I actually threw the disk away. Although I don't remember it coming in a hexagonal box. Thank you for revealing this hellish gem to me. Great video Clint!

Oh yeah, it had some pretty wild stuff for a kid. My friend Kris reviewed it! <a href="http://blip.tv/adg/episode-83-3-d-body-adventure-6086308" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://blip.tv/adg/episode-83-3-d-body-adventure-6086308</a>

It's always interesting coming from an 8-bit micro background (where the boxes are basically cassette cases, or rectangular cardboard boxes, and a lot of clam-shell style ones) and looking at all of these. That Comanche one certainly had the most memories from seeing that in computer stores with its ridiculousness (though, I'm now glad the mystery of how said box opens can be forgotten about for me). Have an enjoyable trip as well :)

I was flattered that you started out with the Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus game that I sent you. That case/box is just so friggin weird and unique.

Hey Clint! Have a great trip and be safe. Your channel remains my hands down favorite channel on YouTube. Keep it up. I love all of your videos.

I came across FF7 on PC at Goodwill a while back. I thought it was the PS1 version, spined out. I thought, great, the PS1 version, I can turn around and flip that some great cash since I already have the black label and greatest hits versions. When I picked it up I realized it was the PC version, missing the box of course. I passed on it for that reason.

Great vid as usual. I like these non-game review videos quite a bit, would be cool if you could do one on old game advertisements in old game magazines if you have a collection of those :-)

One of my great regrets in life is not being more into PC games when they were current, and you could get these funky boxes. I was using computers starting with the VIC-20 in 1982 but I don't think I ever bought an actual commercial game off the shelf until the CD era and Myst in 1994. So much wasted opportunity!

Damn lens cap, breaking your stride...

Wow, your collection's getting HUGE! :O

It's hard to imagine today, but game boxes used to be a big part of the experience during the late 80's and throughout the 90's. Gimmicks like these helped games stand out on the shelves, and in the early days of 3D, I'm sure some of them helped drive home the need for a 3D accelerator. Even EA's CD-ROM Classics line of boxes were pretty neat in their own way, coming open similarly to a board game and having that kind of neat gold trim. Thinking back, I don't think I've had many oddly-shaped games, but I sure do remember them on the shelf. The weirdest shapes I can recall were elongated boxes like Jetfighter III Platinum Edition and Novalogic's Attack Pack (F-22 Lightning 3, Armored Fist 3, and Delta Force). I sure wish I still had my game boxes today (*cough*Grim Fandango boxed*cough*)... As a teen, my mother ended up throwing most of them out (some including the discs and serial keys!). Ever since then, I've made a point to making an image and saving the serial key in a safe place whenever I get a physical game. Interestingly enough, e-mailing NovaLogic about losing my serial keys got them to provide me with new ones, no questions asked. Ahh, the good old days. Anyway, awesome video, hope to see more in the future! Take care and have a great trip Clint!

Great video. I enjoyed seeing your enthusiasm.

gotta admire the balls on the part of the publishing company to release these considering the higher manufacturing costs it was a risky endeavour ... nowadays they call it Collector editions and charge a fortune for stuff like that

*looks in the background at shelves and shelves of boxed games* Jeeze louise! Is that all of your collection? DANG MAN!

This is how I remember Best Buy during the 90's. Rows and Rows of these glorious non-conformist boxes

I wonder if they made them in such odd shapes so they had to be displayed on the shelf with the front facing forward instead of just viewing the side of the box. Take the Comanche box for example. Looks like it takes the about the same amount of space either way you display it.
