Let me start by saying I LOVE the UGC for NES and SNES.  However, after running through my first box of 100 for all of my SNES and half my NES games, the space needed is just too much to think I could do all of my collections in them. 

Not including my Wii or 360, I have the following counts:
Atari 2600 (283)
Atari 5200 (48)
Atari 7800 (43)
ColecoVision (57)
Game Boy Advance (12)
Game Boy/GBC (25)
Intellivision (85)
NES (138)
PSP (11)
Genesis (60)
SNES (24)
TI-99 (24)
Xbox (71)

I'd like to find a smaller alternate cover for the smaller game cartridges, like Genesis, Atari, Colecovision, and INTV games.  The UGC is just too tall for these.  I'd love to find something roughly the size of the NES cart itself, but wider to fit the width of the carts.  CD height seems perfect for game cases because there are so many Media shelves optimized for that height.  I'd even love to find an NES capabile case that just encloses the cart.  That would be awesome as well.  Manuals don't bother me because I can keep them in a separate UGC.

Anyone found anything that you can buy at decent volumes?  If not, I'll have to stick to my cart drawers...

I kinda like UGCs for my Atari Games. Reminds me of the giant boxes I used to see in stores when the 7800 was still around.

Thanks Arseen,

Done a bit of checking.

Unikeep 5 disc cases are: 162 (length) x 14 x 138 mm
unikeep 10 are 162 x 28mm 138 mm

I sure will. Still thinking it over. Think the Uni-keep are too big but it is the next best thing for Europeans that we know of. I am looking to re-case about 40+ ps1 titles but not keen on dvd size. Just feels wrong in PAL land.

I have quite a few ti-99/4a games myself.  If anyone has found a solution to this it would be wonderful.

I'm just amazed that you want smaller for the Mega Drive games, considering the official cases for MD (at least for Genesis in the US) was basically the same size as a UGC... a few mm shorter but a few mm wider.

Anyway, good luck with your quest.  I'm an American, we love things big, I have no problem with UGCs for errrythin!

Poly Cases.
Something like this:
http://www.supermediastore.com/product/u/poly-case-24-disc-black-multi-pack-20pk

They are DVD type cases the size of Jewel Cases/ DS cases.

I'm looking to get some for Atari 2600 and Famicom games, when I get fore shelf space.
