Hello friends! I'm an Atari 2600 homebrew designer, and I'm going to be featuring my game this coming Friday at a show, and as a last minute deal, I need 10 UGC's for my game.


Would any one be willing to sell me a few or trade? PM me...I can send you a free copy of my game or straight up do a paypal transaction.

Thanks guys!!

might not be the kind of abundance of ugcs around anymore. there are alternatives, onion cases are in the works, and the initial price of ugcs has gone up quite a bit lately.

It's called MMSBC, it's based on a comic book that I do. I'd be grateful!

Maybe try getting some 27 MM DVD cases.

http://www.amazon.com/DVD-Case-Black-Capacity-Cases/dp/B00896NRT8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378786880&sr=8-1&keywords=27+mm+DVD

http://www.supermediastore.com/product/u/27mm-7-disc-black-dvd-cases-3-trays-20pk?utm_source=amazonProductAds&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=CD/DVD%20Cases&utm_campaign=AC-001-2973

Shipping for /\ for me

Basic (Up to 9 Business Days):
$4.95
Three Day (3 Business Days):
$20.44
Two Day (2 Business Days):
$23.90
One Day (1 Business Days):
$38.82

They should fit the games if worse comes to worse, I probably will no time to ship UGCs, I have very little free time nowadays.

I have stacks of Austalian designed UGC's. They are identical to the Canadian designed ones, except the spine if wider, meaning larger games and thicker manuals fit better. I am happy to do these at AU $2 ea plus shipping.

For the covers, it's just a matter of resizing UGC covers with the new dimensions in Photoshop. I can do this if anyone doesn't have the tools  :)

Can prvide photos one these next to standard UGC if required (and i have plenty of already printed covers for 32x and Genesis that can be thrown if I have the one you are after).

I'd love to know where you got them man. How wide is the spine? I want to make sure I can print them with my printer first.

My assumption is that they are the first run black universal game cases. They are different dimensions and wider than the newer clear ones.

I was going to use some double wide dvd cases, but if I can get actual cases I will. Being in Australia, they're super expensive to get over here. Like $200 shipping for a carton.

The covers were custom designed by an Australian video supply site/store. I bought their entire run, which I used most of for my various Sega game collections (thousands of games  :-[ ). I have about 500 left which I am now ready to sell as my collection is now as complete as it can be (wish those Russians would stop making new games...). They are clear (not black).

The printing dimensions are:

11.695"w x 6.83"h
29.7cm w x 17.35cm h
3484 x 2049 px
300 dpi
