Cuthbert Enters The Tombs of Doom, there was a large plastic case version, (size of a large floppy disc plastic case) and it came with a post card, some notes and a special key ring. I can't remember when, maybe 2010 when a handful of brand new copies showed up on eBay.co.uk for around 40euros each. I would still class the big box version as very rare...

If I remember correct..., World Cup Carnival may of come with a chart/poster so you could enter the real world cup results. You may have to look at other computer versions to see what really came with it.

Some of the Scott Adams text adventures came in big boxes, the Marvel ones came with a comic book.

One of my prized possessions, Mercenary for the Commodore Plus/4 on disc, just because it's big lol.

To be honest though the term big box is more a 1990's thing, what would be classed as big for much of the 1980's was the double cassette case, like Trailblazer or say Terra Nova. That means anything bigger than a double cassette case was ultra rare especially for C16/Plus/4. Like Power Pack Volume 1 was a budget release but came in a large plastic box like World Cup Carnival.

From the 80's?? Maybe Zork 1 but still..

On the plastic side maybe Brian Clough''s Football Fortunes.
Was it any good? No, but everything else that came with it was impressive.
