Take this with a grain of salt. I've been exploring the idea of re-manufacturing Turbografx-16 Hucard jewel cases. Currently, I'm having a friend do the autocad work and crunching the numbers to see if it's financially viable. I'm making this post to see how many cover project members would be interested. The TG-16 has only ever enjoy a small market, and I don't think demand will be high enough to warrant the project. But it's worth exploring! |

I'm in for sure. I can't decide how to store my hu cards, but I would prefer the original cases if possible. |

Seeing as you only need the backside (the front is just a standard jewel case lid), I can't imagine you'd be looking at a low volume tool costing more than $1,000-1,500. Still, don't think it's worth it personally. I think you'd be better to come up with a die or laser cut insert for a regular jewel case to hold the hucard games. |

I have very few hucards honestly, but I'd love to get in on this. Probably not more than 50 on the initial order for me (and even that's way more than I have loose cards) Strongly suggest cross-posting this to pcenginefx.com's forums. |

Instead of making a whole case, just make an insert that would go in a jewel case to replace the black part (on most cases its black, sometimes clear like PS1) where the CD would normally go. For one, this would be less work, less plastic to make, two, I hate the original case backs, all black with no artwork. Did they originally have a cardboard sleeve? |
