Sega GG Cases (Time to Create)
shenske:
That's why i say just stick to black cases.
That way everyone regardless of where they are from will have cases that look good with their covers. Genesis/Megadrive cases were all black anyway.
shenske:
Box dimensions.
HEIGHT: 6"
WIDTH: 4 3/8"
SPINE: 1"
The manual is 1/4" shorter in height and width
Surprisingly the dimensions round off to pretty even measurements. I measured one of my mint sealed GameGear boxes for this so it should be spot on.

However, in the mean time, all sorts of people are talking about a creation of a GG case. So I have created this thread to use as a discussion board on the creation of the GG Cases. ;)
I am a Nintendo guy myself and have only played the GG about a dozen times in my life.
So the first few items I want to hash out on this are:
1.) What size should the cases be?
2.) What features would you like it to have?
3.) What color (or colors) should the cases come in?
4.) How many would you want to purchase?
This case was honestly number 5-6 on my list of cases I'm going to create, but IF we can hash this out I might make these my next cases to create.

1. close as possible to ds case dimensions
2. all i want is the manual to fit in the case
3. black is all i would need
4. put me down for 100 if you ever make these

What about:
Case dimensions.
HEIGHT: 6"
WIDTH: 4 3/8"
SPINE: 1/2" (?)
I think my first run WILL be black (Glossy finish? Or a sand/matte finish like the DS cases?)
shenske:
I would say matte finish so it matches the Genesis and Master System clamshells.
Personally i was hoping for the exact same size box but can make due with a thinner spine. The height and width are my biggest concern and as long as those don't change i am interested. The bigger things you will miss out on by not going with the retail box width is the collector market. There are some big time collectors out there that won't bother with anything unless it resembles retail.
Also when we create the covers for these the spine logo will have to be much smaller to accommodate the thinner spine. We will have to go pretty custom for the spines.
