Holy Crap!

I don't even own a micro... Definitely on my list

255 on the shelves!  Got about 10 games in my eBay cart, but I'm gonna be hitting up some local stores tomorrow for work-related purchases, so figure I'll wait until I've made the rounds just in case I find some good deals

I've literally just read every post in this thread, awesome job mate!

I am currently at just over 150 N64 games (PAL region), and I'm planning on boxing them soon, I've been experimenting with some SNES games that I have. Since I'm going for a complete N64 set I want the covers all to match and it seems like you have just about every single one made? If so, do you have a zip file or a place I can download them all, I would love to use them! I've spotted your page with your covers but just wondering if that includes them all. Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks!

I'm just about done with the N64 covers.  I've got 4 games left

I don't have a zip file or anything like that, but I was planning on doing something along those lines when I was done.  I'll make sure to post updates in my N64 cover thread.

All done!





Big thanks to Pringlesman and the others who helped out with these covers along the way

By pure coincidence, I just happened to reprint my N64 covers tonight as well.  I switched over to Wiggy's style when I did.  I kept my original covers and just inverted them to the inside.  It looks good when you open the case to get a game out, and the crappy paper doesn't look as bad when looking through the inside of the cover.  The imperfections are a little more hidden.

I made a few minor changes to a few of the covers.  I prefer "Controller Pak" to "Memory card," and I am fine cramming the Game Shark into a single case rather then a double.  I also made a cover for the Rumble Pak and Expansion Pak using your template, but I haven't printed them out yet.  I can't decide if I want to actually use those or not.  

I'm a "few" games short of a full set........

Just wait until everyone leaves or come in on a weekend.

Haha exactly what I do come in after 7 or so when everyone is gone ... profit!

Looking good!

Cutting the cases for those is not a fun chore :/  

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to attempt to cut some cases with the laser cutter at work to hold things like the rumble pak and portable consoles in the double UCG.  Should be a fun experiment and it'll help me to finally get a lot of these portables cased up which have been sitting forever (so sick of cutting them by hand).

I was considering re-printing all of them at work as well (though that still means I technically pay for it), since the colors will be 100% consistent across the board, being that they'll all have come from one batch of paper and toner.  Buuuuut, that seems like a lot or work.  I can print 12x16, so I'd want to put them all into a 12x16 indesign doc, at two per page, yadda yadda yadda.  Sounds like work

Thanks (they should look good right?  )

I already cut our my rumble pak case, but it looks like crap.  It was some time ago and it was my first double UGC.  I'm much better at making those now, so I might start over and make something cleaner.  I'm sure you laser idea will be far supperior to mine, but for those of us without the fancy equipment to use, I've found that using a soldering iron with a knife tip makes cutting through the plastic very easy and it's farily clean.  It just requires slight trimming afterwards and you're done.

Thanks.     I figure, I already printed out covers for nearly every game I own.  I might as well not waste them.  I trim off the edges slightly before putting them in so that they are slightly smaller.  It makes it easier to line up the inside cover without it showing from the outside. 

For new games going forward (that don't already have covers printed out) I've been printing double-sided.  Sometimes I make the inside black and white.  It has a nice contrast to the outside.  Just a few more ideas.
