Has anyone gotten a sample or has shadowfox said anything new? I know the NES stuff is just about finishing up and this was to happen quickly after that fact? I've been waiting to order a big haul for these and can't wait until I can get my hands on genesis cases again!
-
My understanding was that the Genesis samples were coming in the same shipment as the NES case orders. I know that the NES order has arrived to the states, and we are waiting for it to be delivered to Shadowfox. I'm assuming that the Genesis samples will be with that. But again, that's what I'm remembering. Hopfully Shadowfox can confirm.
Either way, I'm excited for my NES cases. I'm curious how Shenske is doing on the cover conversions....... ;)

It's progressing .... there are A ...LOT ... of covers! :)

Thanks for the update.
Yes, there are a lot. ;D

Genesis samples have been promised "next week" for about 6 weeks now. ;) I sent them a guilt e-mail this morning and hopefully it will give me a tracking number. :D
And the NES cases will be in my HANDS TOMORROW NIGHT!!! ;D

All things that I'm loving hearing! I have so many games sitting naked just because I didn't want to put things in UGCs only to take them out again.

Shoudn't the word CASES be added to the title? I know I was confused. Do they make Genesis repro cartridges? Or just Nintendo systems? Edit: Just realised the section this was posted in. But I'm sure I'm not the only one who reads topics only because they are on the home screen, where you can't see the section it's in.

Thanks to whichever moderator changed the title! ;D

C'est moi! De rien! ;D

Now that all the NES pre-order cases are gone, and my life has kind of back to normal.... time to show off the photos!! ;)

So in short, the Sega Genesis cases themselves are PERFECT! They look and feel identical to the authentic cases!
The only thing I am not 100% satisfied on is the artwork sleeve material. It IS textured... but not exactly the same.
Looking at them there is not a big difference, but feeling them you can tell. So the factory is back on the hunt to match the artwork sleeve material! Worst comes to worst, I have the ability to get a "Stamp" created based off the authentic artwork sleeves textures... not sure how much extra that would cost but I KNOW if the artwork sleeve had the right texture I couldn't tell between my case and the authentic one. :)
-
Super Sweet! You're the best! Looks great, even the texture!
-
Holy crap. Wasn't expecting the hang tabs!
Can't wait to get my hands on these!
-
Holy crap. Wasn't expecting the hang tabs!

Looks awesome. I'm curious to see these with Master System games in them as I'm much more interested in using these for my Master System games.
Glad to see the hang tab is there as well. Those who don't want it, I would assume that you could snap it off just as easily as you could in the originals.
Can't wait to get my hands on these as well.
-
The things look great. Almost made me wish I collected SEGA games besides the handful of ones I own.
-
Those are amazing! Where do I sign up? Lol
Any ETA on how long before they'll be available, because I'm definitely interested in getting like 20 of them
-
:o amazing, that looks almost identical to the original. Shadowfox you are f@#%*+g awesome. Hat off to you.
-
Excitement levels rising! ;D
-
Do you have samples to send out on this one, or are you happy enough to go straight to production?
-

I'm picking a small number of people to test these cases... just in case I missed something.
I got about half the sample cases I was told i'd get so handouts are low this go around.
Another thing about these cases is that I'm not a SEGA guy... ::) And I'm not sure if these cases will hold a Master System cartridge. So I'd like that to be tested as well. :)
-
I have plenty of sms, sega, 32x and ea sized carts I would be happy to test for you :P
-
And I'm not sure if these cases will hold a Master System cartridge. So I'd like that to be tested as well. :)
No worries there. I have Master System games, so I can test that when a sample comes in. I don't see why it wouldn't though.
-
I also have all sega sized cartridges so I will test that as well as put it next to the few original Genesis cases I still have as well!
-
I think all were looking for here is Genesis and Master System atm. Sure EA and 32X carts will fit too, but that wont be without modifying the case which would be no different than original Genesis cases.
-
I know I helped out with your GB cases, I would LOVE to help with the Genisis cases too. Because I need quite a few! Lol. (Hint hint. :P)
Also, yes, those look BADASS! I read over comments and I either missed it or it's not there, but are there gonna be different colors available? I ask because...
Dark red would look sweet for master system.
Blue would be awesome for Genisis.
Yellow/orange would be killer for 32X
Aaand...
A Purple psp style case would very cool for Game Gear.
I know that's a lot but I would totes buy em. Lol.
-
I'm not even a huge Genesis guy and I'm still excited. In for 50-100 when the time comes (and I'll probably get another 100 NES too)

Once I know approximately how many cases I need to order for the initial run I could get multiple colors created. Each color requires me to order at least 5,000pcs. And these cases are very,very close to a $1 a piece. So just for Genisis, Master Syster, and 32X I'd be looking at $15,000. And if I'm Dropping $5,000 on 32X custom color I might as well pay the additional cost to get the right side of the case built to hold the 32X properly.
If I was confident I am going to sell say.... 25,000pcs I'd include the Red and Blue colors with the original black cases.
-
Gotcha. That would be quite a gamble to delve that far. I wasn't accounting for how many you had to purchase in the first place.
Though almost any place I've ever seen that has Sega clamshells for sale sell out pretty damn quick.
-
I'd love red for my famicom games, but I'm going to be ordering from the first batch, so black it is for me. Certainly wouldn't hold out for different colors.
-
Shadowfox, are you officially taking preorders now too?
-
Mine is here!!! Compared to my current cases holy crap it looks amazing. Shadowfox I don't know what you're talking about I barely notice the texture of the cover sleeve. These things could be ready to print NOW!
Few quick things before I do a full review with pics later.
1) SMS games fit but its not that nice of a fit ... I'd stick to SMS cases or keeping em loose, they're just a hair too big to be held in by the clips nicely.
2) SMS manuals won't fit without modification
3) UGC artwork doesn't fit (obviously but people may ask)
4) Clips rock
And that's all for now. Look for my full review hopefully this weekend! My pre-order of 50 will be in as soon as it can be!

That sounds AWESOME!
Shadowfox let me know when pre orders are ready, I'd definitely want around 50 cases.
-
TAFK, do you have any 32x games to test as well? Would love to hear the verdict on them.
-
I just got my sample case in today. Absolutely love them, once again top notch work. I'll be picking up 100 of these when the time come! ;D
TAFK, do you have any 32x games to test as well? Would love to hear the verdict on them.
They do not fit 32X games. I tried to put one and applied a little force but still won't fit (too wide and tall). Genesis, Famicom, SMS are just fine though
-
The sample case Shadowfox sent me arrived today and... It's beautiful and perfect. I'll take pictures of it on Monday. Wonderful work Shadowfox. I need about 100 now.

While I would LOVE to see 32x cases, I'm afraid that demand just won't be there. I mean, even if everyone had a full set of cart based 32x games, they would still only need 36 cases each. That means you need at least 139 customers with A FULL SET of cart bases 32x games to reach your minimum order of 5,000 cases. You are going to have a hard time finding that many buyers.
With that said, I love what you are doing and I can't wait to get my hands on some Sega cases even if they don't fit 32x. ;D
-
And surprisingly all 3 32x games I have found/acquired have all been boxed. Something about the 32x and people kept their boxes for the most part I feel.
-
i wont be an initial buyer for these like NES but ill still end up getting them.
I am one of the few that does have a complete 32x collection so anyone have an idea what it would take to modify for 32x?
-
Pledge Thread to come. 8)

I have some and got a sample case, sadly I had a crazy weekend so I wasn't able to post a review. Hopefully I'll have one out this week! I can post pics of a 32x game near the case but the way the cases are made with actual clips for the games I doubt any sort of mod would even be practical.
-
Ok I got mine in today. Alls I have to say is WOW!! These look amazing. Sure the sleeve isn't exactly like the original but it's still nice. Otherwise these are just like the original cases and there is nothing I would change.
Your original pictures serve it perfect justice.
The main downfall, (and it may just be mine) but it seems to pop open to easily. I need to compare it with the other Sega cases just to be sure but I thought I had to use a little more oomph to get it to open. Compared to original I was correct. Mine is not as hard to open. BUT it holds shut just fine so this is not discouraging. I'm extremely satisfied!
The differences are so minor that these are pretty much exact. Good job man!
-
So my Genesis case arrived today! And I gotta say... totally impressed!
I'll start by saying just like everyone else, the cases themselves are damn near perfect! Most of the differences are so minor they don't make much of a difference. I'll agree with palmer6strings that the case does seem to open a little too easy in comparison to an original (no big deal though really), but that was easily fixed by simply applying a little pressure on the clips inside the case so that they grip a little tighter when closed. As mentioned the textured sleeves don't quite match the originals which is easily apparent when placed side by side with an original. Overall, its close in similarity but the sleeves do have a stronger and slightly different texture. Other than the sleeves, the only other difference that really stood out for me was the little plastic tabs inside the cart slot (last picture), which hold the cart snug and don't allow any room for the cart to jiggle around (however slightly that was with the original cases).
And that's about it, all the other differences are pretty much so minor their not worth mentioning. Overall these are fantastic cases and definitely miles better than anything that has been offered up to this point. If the sleeves get corrected to an exact match to what the original cases have, it would be pretty hard to tell the difference thoroughly looking over both cases side by side. Fantastic work Shadowfox, these cases are totally awesome! ;)

My case arrived today, and I concur with the above.
Excellent quality (very slightly more flimsy than original sega case)
No plastic smell
Plastic cover is slightly more clear than a sega case - which is a good thing - covers look brighter in there
Cart clips slightly tighter than original sega case - meaning my 1 MSX cart doisnt fit without a fight

Famicom, genesis/megadrive and master system carts all fit like a glove. Not rattling at all.
Intellivision fit in there loosely.
2600/coleco could fit with simple modification.
-
does 32x fit?
-
does 32x fit?
Not without modification. They are too big. confirmed by me and multiple others earlier in the thread.

There are only 3 pages before this. It won't take more than 2min to read through everything.

BUT SHENSKE!!! THATS TO HAAAAAAAAAAAARD... :'(
-
I was going to take pictures and do some comparisons and such but sheep2001 did it before me. I'll just say that I'm pleased and can't wait for these covers.
-
1 negative to note, is that they don't hold master system manuals in place, as they are optimised for Genesis/Megadrive.
Only way around this would be to move the manual holding clips to the left hand side of the case, much like the later megadrive (and I assume genesis) cases.
-
Too bad they couldn't be molded to also perfectly fit 32X and EA games. Sorta how, (was it Seymor's) SNES/ SFC dual cart case is.
-
You know, it's funny because there was at least one 32x game that came in a plastic case
(Toughman Contest if I remember correctly). That means it must have come in some type of one-off case that was specially made for it. Seems kind of expensive, but a mold must have existed for it at sometime. Or am I missing something?
Does anyone have that case? I wouldn't mind seeing pictures of the inside of it next to a standard Genesis case.
***EDIT***
It looks like the games that came in cases were:
NBA Jam
NFL Quarterback Club
WWF RAW
WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game
-
Well, once this case is completed I will be coming back around and investigate about some type of secondary SEGA case. ::)
But at this VERY moment we are talking about Standard Genesis! 8)
I am going to need a chat with a heavy SEGA guy who can look at this secondary case project in full light. 'That' person would know what it would take to pull off another case that will houses everything this case is lacking.
QUESTION! Do the Famicom booklets fit by chance? ???
-
QUESTION! Do the Famicom booklets fit by chance? ???
Fit yes but most are are loose.
Some are bit smaller than SNES manuals, but most are smaller than original GB ones.

Semi local used game store has at least one or two of them, I might be convinced to pick one up if they're still there next time I go. Can't remember how expensive they were/weren't. But yeah, there's no way Shadowfox would ever recoup costs on a mold for 32x
-
...Shadowfox would ever recoup costs on a mold for 32x
I guarantee there is a way that 32x, regular Genesis, EA Genesis, Master System and Famicom can ALL fit PERFECTLY in the same case. There has to be. I just don't know what it is. So nothing to recoup.
-
This was an idea shadowfox first asked about, and everyone screamed that they wanted exact genesis replicas - I would have been happy with a multi function case, but the masses spoke out louder! ;D

Even assuming you're right, and ignoring the logic sheep pointed out (I too would have preferred a multi case, but hey whatever)... you overlook the fact that he would in fact have to recoup the cost of a new mold one way or the other :P The Genesis repro mold has been created, no more tinkering with it (other than maybe if he's anal replacing the cover), which means whether he did a straight 32x or a multi case, he'd be pouring (and paying for) another one.
But hey, pipe dream. I for one am interested in SCD/Saturn longboxes way more than I am in 32x cases. I can modify a few Genesis ones, or have a few leftover UGCs, or whatever. Will stick out way less than DVD cases alongside my existing longboxes.
But first he's gotta recoup his money on the NES/Genesis molds.

Let's get this Genesis case up and running..... and I will be swinging back around (After N64/SNES) I have plans on still making a SEGA universal game case. 8) My goal (one of many) is to have a complete game case product line which will house everything from SG-1000's to Dreamcast games.
I want to be able to absorb 100% of the SEGA games into cases....or at least 99% of them. I'm not kidding about wanting around 20 unique game case molds eventually. And the more I'm able to move product the quicker I'm able to jump onto the next mold. If things keep going well (And IF we are able to get more of these Pledges for SEGA Gennys) I'm looking at about 2 more molds completed by years end..... and 12-15 on top of that next year. ;)

Yeah, I remember this and I was on the side of the universal sega case, but I was in the minority.

THIS JUST IN!
After 3 weeks of searching my factory has FOUND the SEGA artwork sleeve material!!! :o :o :o
They are whipping up 2 sample cases and sending them over to me to confirm this week!! ;D

Great news.
Outside of the sample cases, did they ever produce any cases with the other material? Or were they waiting on your initial order?
In other words, is there a chance that we will get the different material if we order early, or will we definately new the updated sleeves?
-
Sweet!

You will definitely get the new material. ;) I have been waiting for more pledges before pulling the trigger! But if this is what I think it is then we are ready to rock 'n roll!
-
I have to say, the quality of the sleeve on the sample was perfectly fine by me, if this stuff is even better, then I am even more looking forward to getting my hands on them! 😀
-
nes and gen done...
now what????
great job on sleeves...i gotta read back on how to modify for 32x but i might be in for 50-100 if the modification isnt to bad

Shadowfox and all other Gamers
I have designed a new case that will fit the following and is in the shape of a Original Sega Megadrive Case
It will hold every type of cartridge available today except Atari
I would be very intereted if ShadowFox emailed me directly

Every type of cartridge is quite a claim!
Intellivision? Coleco? Ingersol? Amstrad gx 4000? Game gear?
Intriguing to say the least!

That depends on what he is trying to say, UGC holds cartriges and CD, both of them. so he is right by saying sega, Nintendo and playstation. ;) ;D

Yes, this is true. But I've always wondered, who in their right mind would put a disc in a UGC?
-
I once put one in a case to see how it would fit. I didn't keep it there long.

To be honest, this is sort of what I figured you meant (other than maybe the disc games). But you do need to be careful when you say that ALL games will fit as there are a lot of big collectors here with a lot of different types of games. When we hear "everything," we assume EVERYTHING.
-
All you designers out there are trying to design cases that fit either a standard dvd case or a UGC style or sega case
The case is the same side however it has multiple slots to add into the case
Basically you can all design the case artwork the same size as the generic sega box but inside the case you can fit different cartridge slots properly
No more hacking up cases to make them fit
Ideally we would all like 1 standard case for our collections with different games in it
Thats why the designers on here are wanting to unify the case artwork?
-
I suggested the removable tray/holder idea about 3 or 4 years ago when Seymour onion was trying to have cases made. I agree it would be perfect, as you only need 1 mould for the case, and any trays can be optional. They could even be made from card, like an original snes tray. And an empty case, without any innards can be used to store all sorts of things, from cables, handhelds and controllers to promo materials.
-
we are making all the inserts from the same plastic
The case is the same and we have 5 inserts to use
-
Do you have any pictures or a link to a website?
-
Am I the only one who would rather not have a single unified case for every cartridge?

Truth be told, I enjoy the specific use of each game case personally. It would have been easier for me to have just created a case in the dimensions of my NES cases to house the Genesis game carts (And would have only cost about half the price on my end) But I felt that keeping the cases conforming with the originals would be truer to the preserving of the collections as a whole.
Where I stand is that I already passed the hardest (and most expensive) part, all the other cases to follow will be following close with the Gameboy/ NES/ or Genesis templates. :)
And things are going to come very fast here very soon. I'll have a total of 5 game case types by year's end and next year's end I should have 25-30 game case types. :P
If I was mainly doing this for money I would have totally done the removable tray idea, but making game cases is more of a passion and desire of quality rather than cranking as much profit as possible out of it.... for me anyways. :)

Yes, very well said. And it looks like I'm going to need some more money! Can't wait to have all my games in cases.

you guys are right in one instance but by the looks of it your all in the USA
Here in the UK there are thousands of collectors WHO CANT GET HOLD OF UGC cases
so why not design a case that can be sold
Also I own a printing company, capable of printing the inserts, sleeves and boxes on IDENTICLE material as the ORIGNALS
You cant get that at your local staples or DocEx company certainly not for prices we can be charging
Yes i am a busniess owner, and can design a webshop and make and sell these products
Im sure SHADOWFOX isnt importing and designing these case free of charge or for the love of gaming KUDOS get paid for his cases.
I am in the UK and we will print covers for people who want them via our new website, which hopefully will cover all cases and all covers available today
If your a designer doing the mint cases cover artwork why not get paid
People are only going to download and print anyway, you may as well get a little back for your work

lol, I ain't going to lie, profit is made (or will be later) but I'm moving things forward as a gamer rather than a business man. I had to go attain a business licence due to the volume of gameboy cases I moved last year. But no, at this time, all my funds are going right back into new molds and products. (And artwork) I'll get my profits once all the molds are built and my volume of cases and types are all in stock. Nice thing for me is that the game case funds do not effect my day-to-day life, I have a full time day job running a warehouse on top of all this. If you think I solely do game cases for the money that is a bummer, I hope you will come to know me better as time goes on. ;)
I understand that you are already moving forward with the mold, but I have been constantly looking for people in other countries who would want to order a 20' container load of my game cases. About 40% of my sales are international and about half of them are in the UK. Someone would make a killing if they ordered thousands of cases at a time and stored them.
Same with the UGCs if you were wanting to order a mass amount of UGCs for the UK I would ask 'How many?' I have communications with the owner of the UGC mold.... I'm not saying for sure I can make something happen but I can totally try for ya!

Yes, this is true. But I've always wondered, who in their right mind would put a disc in a UGC?
Yes I know, I try always to use the original case for CD or at least with the same dimensions
-

You are not alone, for me
nes, snes, n64 can be in same dimension case.
gamecube, wii, wii u, ps2, ps3, xb360, in same one
PlayStation 1 and dreamcast in jewel cases
And so on, it has to be the same case or at least something similar to the original, talking of the dimensions

You know, it's funny because there was at least one 32x game that came in a plastic case (Toughman Contest if I remember correctly). That means it must have come in some type of one-off case that was specially made for it. Seems kind of expensive, but a mold must have existed for it at sometime. Or am I missing something?
Does anyone have that case? I wouldn't mind seeing pictures of the inside of it next to a standard Genesis case.
***EDIT***
It looks like the games that came in cases were:
NBA Jam
NFL Quarterback Club
WWF RAW
WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game
I was reading back through this thread and realized all of these games you listed were published by Akklaim so maybe they had their own cases made?

Interesting, because Akklaim also did Mortal Kombat II which came in a cardboard box like the rest of the 32x games.
-
The Acclaim cases do have their logo molded on them.
They're also apparently fragile as Hell, if my foolishly mad attempts at finding 8 unbroken ones is any indication.

I'd assume standard Genesis clamshell size which is 3200 pixels wide and 2044 high @ 300DPI.
or
10.67" by 6.81"
or
27,09 CM by 17,31CM

Agree with marioxb
...Shadowfox would ever recoup costs on a mold for 32x
I guarantee there is a way that 32x, regular Genesis, EA Genesis, Master System and Famicom can ALL fit PERFECTLY in the same case. There has to be. I just don't know what it is. So nothing to recoup.
