New NES cases (work in progress)
larryinc64:
I was thinking of using Poly Cases. I even made a simple template a while back.

For a while I was working on covers for UGCs to case them, but they're just too big...
A cassette style case would be cool, something where we could recreate the famicom box artwork as we do with the console games artwork for UGCs. Just a thought. Want to know if anyone has ideas.

Well, they fit like a glove in a sega clamshell, so I'm waiting for Shadowfox to come up with his replacement sega clam. Ideally I'd love to get hold of 100 or so of the namcot famicom clamshells, but that's never going to happen.

Oh yeah, I think I remember these. They look great! That's exactly what I'm talking about, because that template will replicate very closely what the famicom boxes looked like - pretty small.

This is a cool idea too. While it fixes the rattling around problem, it still seems like a lot of case for those games. I know the sega carts aren't much bigger at all, but they have long manuals that fit in those. Famicom manuals are just as small as the carts, and harder to come by, so I think the smaller case would be better for me.

If you can get hold of EU sized thick DS cases, Famicom carts fit in them pretty good...
