Cool.

Well, here's the start


i'm not happy with the back - as the orientation of the original is portrait, rather than landscape, i've made the rear area wider.  Would people prefer a continuation of the front/spine silver grey to create a bar on the back, to make the rear orientation work like the original, or stretched like this?

[sheep2001]

Actually - with the front done, i think it looks pretty sharp

Played with the idea of a banner on the front (like the game boy template), but it just didnt look right.  Tried it having removed the black surround, and centered the image, and i really like it.  What say you?

I like that. Im not as picky about them individually as much as I am about being able to case them all the same style (the covers on the site have 2-3 different templates between them)
I would be happy with anything as long as they all looked the same.

[TDIRunner]

I like that a lot.

I like the improved spine.  It looks like it's zoomed out a little which is a good thing.  The color also seems more accurate to the original, but that's a little hard to tell without printing.  I also like the continuation of the spine onto the front.  Overall, I like it a lot.

Thanks for your work on this.

Over the next couple of days, I might not respond to anything here right away because it's the Thanksgiving holiday over here and I'm with family.  Plus tomorrow is our annual Day After Thanksgiving ATV mud ride.   Pictures to come.

[sheep2001]

Glad you like it.  Have knocked out a couple of covers - wont do any more until you print one and let me know if it prints OK.


In my box.net as usual.

Hope your thanksgiving was a good one, and you had fun in the mud!

Crazy busy holiday weekend, but it was fun.

Finally got around to printing these out.  They look awesome.   The color looks great and I really like the spine.  My only complaint would be that it's difficult to cut them out since the back is mostly white.  Only one cut is difficult (obviously the far left cut).  I used an already printed out cover to get it right. 

Thanks again for you work.

I just realized I didn't post pictures of the Lynx cases.  I'll do that tomorrow.  I'm still recovering from this weekend.  Not hung over, just tired.

I've added a thin grey border on the back to assist with trimming.  
Why is it i am now checking ebay autions for a lynx? lol

Out of interest,  how do the retail boxes compare in size to game gear boxes?

[TDIRunner]

Awesome.  These look great as well.

I would pick one up if you find it for a good price.  I think it's a great system.  The color, backlit screen looks great and the system fits comfortably in my hands.  It's unfortunate that the library of games isn't quite up to par with Game Boy or even Game Gear because it's a pretty powerful system.  I don't think the battery life is that great, but I'm not sure because I only play it with an A/C adapter plugged in.

The boxes are very similar to Game Gear boxes except they are a little shorter.  I am currently storing them in the same clear box protectors that I store my Game Gear boxes in.  There is just a lot of empty space above the box.  I'll still try to get those pictures posted tonight.  I've been having computer issues at home.

[sheep2001]

Reason for the question was that maybe it would be an option for Shadowfox to do a dual case game gear/Lynx.  I really like my cases to be the same size as originals if at all possible.

[TDIRunner]

Here's some of the pictures I was talking about.  More to come.

[TDIRunner]

The Game Gear and Lynx boxes are the same width.  However, the GG box is slightly thicker and obviously a little taller.

The Lynx cvers are looking pretty nice.   Heres the last one on your list  (although I have a feeling youve got another list of conversions - lol)

Its a shame the GG box protectors are so loose on the top edge (for the hang tab) - and they discontinued the proper protectors fro Lynx - otherwise I would have just gone for printing repro boxes, and put them in the protectors.  Just have to hope Shadowfox at least comes up with the GG cases.

How does a real Lynx box look next to one of my covers in a gb box?

The full list is in the first post.

There are six more Lynx games, two of which have covers on this site in a different format. 

As always, thanks again.   I'll try to get the rest printed out tonight if I don't have to work too late.
