Want to buy: Sega Genesis clamshells
Quazimoto:
I'm with you... Always liked and very much prefer the black clamshells over UGC for Genesis games. Finding them can be tricky though. Hit up garage sales, flea markets, and eBay (once in a while you'll find a lot of empty cases even). Buy in bulk when you see a lot that works for your needs. Sports games tend to sell for really cheap and a lot of them do come in the standard Genesis cartridge size, rather than the larger EA sports ones. You should probably be able to find yhour fifty cases in just a handful of lots. Just take the case and re-sell the games. A little water and sometimes some lighter fluid cleans up even the dirtiest of cases pretty nicely, so don't worry too much about buying something that looks a bit dustier than you might otherwise like or something with a rental sticker or two on it. I house all my Genesis games in the clamshells. Took a bit to track down enough cases in good shape to fill the collection, but it was definitely worth it.

The SNES games fit snugly if you put them in there with the dust cover. Also 32X games fit very nicely into UGCs, good thing too since most of them came in those shitty paper boxes. As for Genesis games yeah... I wouldn't recommend storing them in UGCs, they don't fit into the holders at all and just drop to the bottom of the box. I just buy out crappy cheap sports games and salvage the cases.

32X games can fit in Master System clam shells.
