I really liked Phantasmagoria. I miss how game packaging used to make the games feel premium. Phantasmagoria's 7 disc fold out case. King's Quest 6's travellers guide to the green isles. Big box was certainly a logistical nightmare for distributors and retailers but it made the purchases special and helped to draw you in to the game world and amp the consumer excitement and anticipation for the game. At least it did for me. Probably like how my parents must have felt when giant, 2 fold vinyl album packaging with big band art and extensive liner notes were replaced with tiny CD jewel cases. I know it's corny but, sometimes I miss the old days.
