Which games came in/with something else other than just a regular jewel case?

[xelement5x]

Games like Monster Maker came in an extra thick jewel case, to fit an extra thick manual. You can't replace the door with a standard one.

I know exactly what you're talking about.  I've run into Saturn games like that as well.

The Arcade Card Pro came in a thicker than usual case too I believe.  Not sure about the AC Duo (maybe standard sized case).

Other items I can think of are:
Hyper Catalogs 1-6, DUO-RX catalog (same demos as Hyper Catalog 6)
Tengai Makyou Kabukiden demo mook (magazine/book)
Legend of Xanadu demo mook
Emerald Dragon demo mook
Lodoss War 1 mook (comes with actual game)
Lodoss War 2 demo mook
Lodoss War 1 & 2 also came in double jewel cases (possibly with maps or other extras, but I don't have the games in front of me)
Artist Tool - don't remember exactly, but I think the booklet is too big for the standard HuCard case.
Tsuru Teruhito no Jissen Kabushiki Bai Bai Game - Comes with a book about as thick as the HuCard case that I think includes stock info and companies from the game.  I'm probably wrong about that, but there is an extra booklet. http://www.pcengine.co.uk/HTML_Games/Tsuru_Teruhito.htm

There's also one Mahjong game by Face that came with a VHS tape.  Don't remember the name of the game though.  

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can remember.

Street Fighter II's manual and game card both fit just fine in a normal case... there's no sane reason why it has a dual case, I think... just to make the thing look more impressive on the shelf, I guess?

I don't think the manual and fan book will both comfortably fit in a standard jewel case.

Perhaps not, but still, just a thick jewelcase probably would have been fine... you see that a lot on the PS1 too, games which have dual-jewel cases for no particular reason other than that Sony never used single-thick 2-CD cases on the PS1.  I wish they had, it takes up space unnecessarially.  I know jewel cases are small to begin with, and like larger game packaging myself (like, I like US Sega CD or Saturn cases more than the Japanese small cases...), but only use the extra space if you're actually making use of it.  And if it's just a thin manual and two discs, which would have fit in a single-thick 2-CD case had Sony used the things?  Why use up an entire dual-jewel case?  Just to make it take up more room on the store shelf and look more impressive, I presume.  The same applies to Japanese Saturn games, and Turbo CD too; The Legend of Xanadu 1 (with thick manual and map) won't fit into a normal jewelcase, but will fit into one of those "thick jewelcase" cases.

At least one of the Wizardry games (III ?) had a case like this, to accommodate a THICK instruction manual. I know there are more, I just can't get my brain to work...

Cosmic Fantasy 3 included a map and an "Official Guide Book"(Which isn't really a guide book. It contains artwork and concept art from the first 3 games, information about the voice actors/developers and even a music sheet. Really interesting if you can read Japanese.) along with a normal manual. This is the reason why it's in a dual-case rather than the single case Cosmic Fantasy 1, 2, 4-1 and 4-2 came in.

Gulliver Boy includes a map.
