Title: Custom Game Boxes.. Thoughts?
Post by: retro_gamer on October 30, 2020, 09:57:12 PM
Hi Everyone,

I wanted to create custom game boxes that were the same size as the originals. For most things I couldn't find artwork in English or PAL or both. So I decided to create my own. I wanted to create a uniform design that required minimal editing for new boxes and a uniform design so they look good on display. I started with Cassette cases but I couldn't my manuals in. DS and Custom Game cases are quite expensive to get in Australia so I took a different approach.

Anyway so I started with the base template:

Once I was happy I created a few and printed them on a laser A3 Printer (I have one at work so that's what I had to work with).

Cut them out:

Assembled them:

Created inner trays and cellophane bags protect the manuals:

And put them in Gameboy Box Protectors:

I'm quite happy how they turned out and for games that I have the boxes for all I need to do it print a spine and slide it in the box protector.

I would love your guys input. I know its not a game cover but I really love this site and the community.

Im in the process or making boxes for Game Boy accessories and consoles too.

Thanks Arseen.
I've used Nintandbox for a lot of resources but most things are in French, so I have had to do a bit of editing.
