Games with severals discs were terrible on Dreamcast - it was not a hard move to get the GD's to fall on the ground. Howewer, the shape and the look of the construction was good, not to mention the neat cover arts.

GBA games are pretty ill packaged here, nothing but thin cardboard and a plastic bag. EW. Agreed. Why'd they stop giving us plastic cases for the carts like they did for Gameboy games? I mean, you can keep the plastic for the games, sure (I foolishly didn't until recent purchases) but still...big bloody differance between a hard plastic case and a little plastic slip!

Phalanx is a pretty decent shmup.
In terms of packaging, I have to say that the biggest waste of space had to be the first gen PSX titles in that HUGE box. I mean that was a serious piece of cardboard/plastic in some cases.
Always have problems filing them away.

Packaging for the Mattel Intellivision was actually pretty nice. You didn't have to open the box from the top, but opened the front to get the game. There was also a little slot on the inside that you could easily put the instructional manual and controller cards in.
This wasn't for all games though (like Donkey Kong, but that game sucked on Intellivision)

I have one of the early PSX boxes, Street Fighter Alpha 1 came in one. The damn thing doesn't have a snap on lock or anything to keep it from opening up on its own. And the box art for SFA1 is atrocious.
I remember Saturn huge jewel cases were easy to break and/or dissasemble. As if regular CD jewel cases weren't easy enough to ruin, the big Saturn ones just seem to break more often.

Did the early PSX boxes have that little foam strip like for (most of) the later Sega CD cases?

Actually, I'd now have to vote for the packaging for Commodore-64 games. You basically had your 3x5 flopply disks in a paper sleeve, wedged in a crack in cheap cardboard, within a [usually] oversized cheap cardboard box.
Packaging that was almost flimsier than today's GBA games or yesteryear's CD games.

Any CD Rom game on a Computer that came out pre 2003 in those ginormous boxes. Complete and total waste of packaging.
