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? --- End quote --- Someone started working on this over on a TG16 site but never got all the way into production with them. I think they got as far as the prototype stage then I don't know what happened. |

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. --- End quote --- This. As much as I would like it to be exactly like the original, it's going to be really important to keep the costs down. |

I don't even have a TG-16 yet but I'm liking the idea! Part of the reason for why I don't collect them yet is casing. (the other is of course money.) |

I agree, I'm not sure if it will be worth it. |

I would love to see the trays get reproduced just like the originals. Even if they were a few dollars each, it's cheaper than buying complete TG-16 sports games or PCE commons just to gut them for a case. I have a set of replacement spine labels printed up that I'm saving to use as I acquire more HuCards. |
