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?

I don't blame you, plus you can't beat the UGC price. I mean really they are dirt cheap. Sure quality isn't great, but there is always a trade off. I wanted to start to move to something nicer for EverDrives and that's what compelled me to look into our own cases. Injection molded cases can be nice if they are done well, but the upfront costs are pretty damn high and I would rather spend that money elsewhere on something I feel would be more profitable than game cases. These type of cases only took us 2 months from first contact with manufacture to them arriving at the door.
I will be bringing some cases but not a ton, we will probably be selling some NES games in them to show them off. Like I said, I actually like these type of cases, but I understand why some people may not.

I could be swayed after seeing them! :)

I could be swayed. Maybe a couple cases to sample? I do have money invested in Modifiying UGCs, but if I like the cases from Stone Age Gamer (I love the store, really), such cases could be re purposed into Doubles like what wiggy does for handhelds. Also, SNES games are as wide as NES games are tall, and N64 games are as wide as NES games are. Could such games fit in your cases? Or are they tabbed for NES games only?

Great point, i actually never thought about it. So I decided to try. Both SNES (North American) and N64 carts fit. SNES is a little bit of a tight fit, but the case does close and that actually kind of works as an advantage because it actually holds the cart in place. N64 obviously is somewhat loose in there, but still fit. I actually cut out a piece of black foam and it it in there to keep it from moving around, but it wouldn't be 100% necessary if they were just sitting on s shelf.

I like it. I guess the Bitbox is more universal then you thought. A little foam goes a long way.
