Turbo CD-Rom box pics

[jelloslug]

argh, someone used it as a coaster once.

If memory serves me there was a sticker there saying soothing about new lower price or free games or something like that.  I know that I paid $299 for it from J & R Music World and I sent off for at least 2 free games when I got it.

STATUS: I asked you to take pics! THANK YOU!

I certainly want the higher-res originals, too 

I kept that box for a few years, back in the day, but it was just too big (my parents attic, ha! Just like jelloslug). 

I love seeing all the panels, it's something that was important for the retail experience that is "lost" when digitization of info prioritized the "fronts" and "covers" of stuff....yeah, I have problems.

TRIVIA: a billion years ago, I made a non-researched (anecdotal, from my own experience) claim that the TG-CD retail box was one of the largest in the history of consumer (non-pro, non-specialty, non-industrial) electronic peripherals. Anyway, I think the comment might still be there.

So, are there any competitors? Within videogameden? Outisde of videogameden?

UPDATE: Sparky has a new project: producing MINIATURIZED versions of the retail boxes for electronics, consoles, peripherals, etc. probably a lot of folks would like a HALF-SIZED NES or SMS or GENNY box. Some folks might even be crazy enough to want a TG-16 or TG-CD box. Of course, a half-sized TG-CD retail box IS STILL BIGGER  than 99%* of the other console boxes.

The Neo-Geo AES Gold system box was rather large.

The NES Power Set box was fairly large also.

Mini ones would be cool, like papercraft ones you make yourself.

The Neo boxes were large but pretty thin, not like the cd box thick on all sides

I don't have it anymore but when I still had the box to an AES gold system I remember it being "normal" like every other system boxes.

TG-16 CD box is the biggest video game box, hands down.

There are some toy boxes that are bigger, I am thinking train sets, power wheels, etc.  Video games, there is nothing that compares.

Awww man. That is a great piece of gaming history there. I love the design of this box.
