ave1 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 So what's your favorite item that came packaged in with a video game? Is it the 2600 Omega Race Booster Grip or maybe the Coleco Roller Controller with Slither? Maybe you liked the mouse that came packed in with Mario Paint or the Rumble Pack you first got with Starfox 64. . . or coud it be that you liked the Reel Fishing fake fishing reel? Can you honestly say you weren't tempted to buy a Saturn when you noticed that Virtua Cop came out packaged with the Stunner? I spent quite a bit of time researching the great pack-ins of video gaming, and here are the ones I'm convinced are in the top eschelon: http://n4g.com/news/....ed-with-a-game What are your top 5?

Drixxel Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 A few favourites of pack-in swag spring to mind. The GunCon packaged with Time Crisis is at the top of the heap for me, the gun games on PSX are some of the best around and the GunCon makes for a great shootin' experience. Next, I'd have to say, is the Vaus controller bundled with NES Arkanoid, but then again I've always been a fiend for anything Breakout-style. In that vein, an honourable mention goes out to the rotary controller packaged with the Japanese release of Arkanoid DS that plugs into the GBA slot. That take on Arkanoid may be a bit dull, but the accessory is extremely cool. Also, interesting article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixitguy74 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Don't we already have this thread going in the 2600 forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) my top 5: The analog controller that came with Nights on Saturn The camera/mat/stand with Eye of Judgment on PS3 The traxxas rally car that came with some copies of dirt 3 (not that I could afford that) The Nerf gun/wiimote holder that came with wii nerf games Though it's simple, this probably makes my number one: Edited December 7, 2012 by Reaperman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BydoEmpire Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 s the Vaus controller bundled with NES Arkanoid That'd get my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 The Atari Force comic books I think should get honorable mention. The series was a nice little treat, especially for those who got all five games. It also made those titles feel like they were in their own, separate universe... even if the games' ties to the stories were usually tenuous at best.

sqoon Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Vaus controller bundled with NES Arkanoid Best vg pack in ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProperRogue Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I've only recently discovered this one, but the controller attachment that came with the PS2 Space Invaders 25th Anniversary Set looks like a definite picker-upper sometime in the near future. http://www.play-asia...-en-70-2j8.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Matrix Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 The cloth map, soundtrack, making of disc and Ghalleon hand puppet pack-ins with Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete for PS1. I was a Sega CD owner during it's hayday, and Lunar was one of the first RPGs I played to completion when I was a kid. The PS1 release hugely impressed me and I dont think anything will top that.

shadow460 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 My faves are the Supercharger with Phaser Patrol (granted, that's more geared to the 2600 forum) and the T shirt I got with FF7. The T shirt wasn't really a pack in, but it got a TON of use! I forgot about the Atari Force comics. All the 2600 comics were pretty cool. I've got a couple of Atari Force and I've got the Yars' Revenge and Centipede ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameGirl420 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I really like the 3D glasses that comes with 3D World Runner for NES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lentzquest Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Illusion of Gaia originally came with a pretty cool t-shirt. Also you gotta love the free pizza courtesy of TMNT 2: The Arcade Game. Sorry French Canadians, no food for you!
