=== [[Action Adventure]] ===

* Crates in ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'' tend to be of the "contains one food item" variety. A couple are completely empty.

* In ''[[The Godfather (video game)|The Godfather]]: The Game'' you have both destructible and indestructible crates lying around, as well as [[Exploding Barrels|explosive-filled ones]]. Sometimes the destructible ones may contain cash.

 

* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' there's [http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/030421 this comment] from the hungry hungry alien Aylee:

{{quote|I'm just here to eat the background crates.}}

* ''The GaMERCaT'' in "[http://thegamercat.com/comic/fit-to-ship/ Fit to Ship]" is musing on strangely few and mixed goods in those crates. You'd think there would be hundreds of arrows packed, ''or'' a few buckets of apples...

 

* ''[[The Onion]]'' has an article about the fictional video game ''[http://www.theonion.com/articles/new-video-game-designed-to-have-no-influence-on-ki,1857/ Crate Stacker]'', which is designed to have no impact whatsoever on kids' behavior. Gameplay is entirely limited to stacking crates in an otherwise featureless room.

* As discussed under the ''[[Serious Sam]]'' example, Old Man Murray considered crates to be lazy game design, and created "[http://www.oldmanmurray.com/features/39.html Start to Crate]" as an unbiased review method. The longer one went before seeing the game's first crate meant the more ideas the designers actually had.
