This is what they look like to me. Those cheap vacuum formed VHS cases that Disney movies used to come in. They're flimsy, they're cheap looking, and our covers wouldn't fit. Personally, I'm not interested in the least. However, If I'm wrong about them being vacuum formed and they don't look cheap I can see them being viable. Still, they wouldn't fit our covers which would be a dealbreaker for me. I wish him the best of luck.

They are. It's sorta already been covered.

My OP wasn't really directed at this product specifically. It was directed at any developers trying to grab attention as a consumer. This product just happened to be the topic at hand. It was a general comment.

Cover art does fit with very minor modifications. I posted a tutorial above. Yes they are vacuum formed, but I don't think they look cheap personally. If I felt they were junk during prototype phase I would has never commissioned to get them made. Will they be better than Seymour's? Maybe not, I have no idea. However I can say with confidence they are way better than the UGC. Leaps and bounds better really.

These look very cool. I also look forward to checking out your table at CCAG as I will be there. For me personally, I've already bought and modified nearly 100 UGCs for NES games and quite honestly I'm happy with what UGCs give me. But I'm not picky as most. That said I'm interested in looking at them. Will you have some at CCAG?

You started with the flash carts and I with the GBA backlight kits, both sourced from overseas, both products sorta boutique, and both tricky to obtain (I think you mentioned western union as the payment option for the flash carts? Ick.). I would really like to speak with you at some point about your biz and how you dealt and are dealing with the growth. I never expected for this stuff that I do to become a full-time job for me, but it has, and rather quickly. I've also started outsourcing and may have just hired my first employee as of last night :)

I would be happy to talk about it sometime.
