All the Eidos boxes have that shape? Then I don't know if it's an European
"feature" or if the following just happened in Portugal, but both Final
Fantasy 7 and Tomb Raider 3 sold in these parts have ye olde regulare
rectangulare boxe.

FF VII came in the triangle shaped EIDOS box that most of their games came
in (Tomb Raider, etc.)...a bit awkward, but not overly large or difficult
to
deal with.

That box description reminded me of another two games with unusual box
shapes: Prince of Persia 2 (I think it was 2), the box was shaped like an
hourglass.
Also, one of the Final Fantasy VII editions was released in a similarly
weird box.

Centauri Alliance, a sci-fi RPG for the Apple II (and maybe others)
came in a hexagonal box. Not hard to stand up, but it's wider than a
standard rectangular box, so it sticks out farther from the shelf. I
bought it way back when in part because you could import characters
from Might & Magic. Their magical items would become hi-tech items.
I was disappointed with it and never got very far.
