Most ridiculously over-sized game box?Which Speccy game had the most ludicrously over-compensatingly sized box?
Surely The Great Space Race must win this one. It had a huge box and lots of paper inside but was a rubbish game written in BASIC. -

Most ridiculously over-sized game box?Which Speccy game had the most ludicrously over-compensatingly sized box?
The Tau Ceti box had a rather unusual shape, but wasn't actually that big; about the same as a normal double casette box.

Yes or No?Well, which is it?
Yes are shit. I bought Close To The Edge based on all the great reviews it got but I didn't like it at all. Jon Anderson has a horrible voice. Wakeman & Bruford are both really good musicians though.
