This is a great news, I am really looking forward for the game gear case and famicom case. I've found some famicom cases on ebay, if you need some samples, let me know because I've just bought some. |

(The dimension height and depths are the same as the SEGA Genesis and Master System cases, making them easy to conform to other SEGA type cases) These cases will be able to house Standard Game Gear carts as well as Codemaster carts. I am also going to be including a slot above the Game gear clips that will hold the SEGA Cards as well. (Making these cases essentially SEGA Card replacement cases... but they will be slightly (2MM or so) thicker than the original SEGA Card cases.) Both the SEGA Card AND Game Gear booklets are identical in size! Making a combo case even a nicer idea. SHADOWFOX QUESTION: For the instruction booklet side of the case should we go original booklet clips like the authentic Genesis cases and SEGA Card cases have. (Where you have this tab on top and bottom with holding plastic close to the spine keeping the booklet in place) or should I go with a booklet clip idea, much like the NES/ Gameboy cases, but give the clips a SEGA feel like. (I can't seem to find the photo BUT I KNOW THEY EXIST! The photo is kicking around here on TCP somewhere!) I'm thinking of launching both the black and Purple/pink color cases. But this is all in the air at the moment since I'm focusing on the SNES/SFC and N64 cases right now. --- Quote from: romevi on February 04, 2016, 11:58:12 AM --- My dream come true. :-* --- End quote --- That's why I'm here. ;) --- Quote from: banisher on February 04, 2016, 12:43:42 PM --- --- Quote from: Shadowfox on February 02, 2016, 01:51:42 PM ---Don't worry, I'm actually getting the mold prices for Game Gear cases this week. ;) They should be out in 3-4 months. --- End quote --- Are you serious? This is a great news, I am really looking forward for the game gear case and famicom case. I've found some famicom cases on ebay, if you need some samples, let me know because I've just bought some. --- End quote --- Yes please! I wasn't aware that there was a Famicom case out there! (Besides taking a Genesis case and making one) My "idea" was to give each family of game consoles their own feel. Like the NES, N64, SNES cases will all be the same sized cases. (And my thoughts are to do the same with the Famicom, since it's Nintendo) and as most people know, these cases look very similar to DS and Gameboy cases, with the rounded edges, identical booklet clips and oval opening on the cases. Keeping them together in appearance. Since SEGA already has 2,4 game cases out there for other consoles I want my cases for SEGA to conform with the existing feel. SHADOWFOX QUESTION 2: All the SEGA cart cases will be easy, but! Sega also came out with the SEGA CD... then went funny/ boring on the Dreamcast cases. I'M NOT HERE YET! But... for Dreamcast should I: a) Create a SEGA CD type case but instead of clear plastic use a transparent Orange plastic? b.) Create almost like an xBox 360 gamecase but with transparent Orange instead of the green. c.) Create a game case that would conform with all the other SEGA cart cases (excluding the SEGA CD) Keep in mind I plan on creating SEGA CD cases regardless of anyones answers to the above question. ;) |

They never felt very secure to me. With that said, I understand why you went with the traditional manual clips on your Sega cases since you wanted to have an authentic feel. However, since the Game Gear/Sega Card cases are not based on an existing Sega case, I would go with the booklet clip idea. |
