Title: Game Boy Color Console in VHS Case (pics inside)
Post by: g0sub on December 13, 2011, 01:26:45 PM: Hey guys, I want to show you the cover i created for GBC consoles :)

The main reason is I ran out space on my little showcase (where i put consoles only)..so I thought about this idea

It's not the definitive version, covers need some little fix a bit everywhere...plus I don't even know if I will use this method again, it is just a temporary space-saver ;D

Well, as always, if you like the idea, we can work together and make it better and so on...

::)

any chance you can let me grab the yellow version? It's in my pile of hardware in VHS cases that I haven't got around to making a cover for.

The original gameboy is too thick for VHS case. For gba i can do it i think, i just need to find a good retail scan of the gba box :)

Also: here is the yellow one, remember its not the "final" cover.

I think the answer isone of these:

Spine 32mm

or

http://www.rivierapublishing.co.uk/acatalog/12_Way_DVD_Cases.html
Spine width 38mm

or

http://www.rivierapublishing.co.uk/acatalog/14_Way_DVD_Cases.html
Spine width 45mm

Post by: sheep2001 on December 13, 2011, 05:56:03 PM: My original gameboy is in a double wide VHS case.

Thanks for the yellow cover - just printed and looks good - apart from my ink being out in one of my carts - so the gameboy logo is in pink!?!?! grrrrr. Out of spares at the mo too.

I love the simplicity of it though - maybe a bit more needed on the back. As a concept I think it's great - makes me want to get some more colours :o)

Post by: Blueprint on December 14, 2011, 01:55:32 AM: can you post link to the other colors. they look great and i have a couple gamebo color just sitting around...thanks ;D

Post by: g0sub on December 14, 2011, 03:08:47 AM: I'm glad someone likes the idea ;)

But I don't know if i should re-do the templates for DVD case 45mm as Arseen said, in this way all gameboys (DMG, MGB, GBA) can have the same case and thus look better together...

And ye, the back needs some fix!

Well i put the text for 2 reasons:

1) Helps to distinguish versions (clear purple from purple, clear blue from blue, pokemon version from yellow, etc...)
2) That's how Nintendo called that color version <3

;D
