Only Sega Saturn used this format, but also there it was crap > they were made of cardboard without a protective foil...

We were also treated to the crummy cardboard cases for some of the earliest PS1 releases. Thank god that didn't last long

Hard to believe that Sony went through 3 different long box variants during that short period before the standard sized jewel cases.

Urgghh My Tekken 1 is in a cardboard box, I still hate the EU boxes us brits got, whish they where in CD cases
RecOne:
I like the EU PS1 Case format - it looks like "more" than just a regular CD.
But since they are special you have no replacements available... (i don't want to buy sports games just to get a better case) :)

I got this Game Boy at a local thrift store for $1! It's pretty damn beat up, but it still works. Hopefully I can polish it up to something nice.
I received my replacement shell and GBC stand from RCG, so I turned this very beat up (don't let the pictures fool you, the original shell is rough) into a very nice 'refurbished' GBC. I kept the original buttons because I prefer their darker color. I also used a glass screen. PS: Has anyone ever read one of these repro labels (on the back of the shell)? You'd think for such a mass manufactured product, they would at least spell-check the thing. It's practically illegible. I guess that's a blessing it disguise though -- it makes spotting repros much easier.

Picked up a couple of bargains today;
£2 each, conduit is in really good condition too...

Some loose disc Saturn pickups in TCP cases. I bought an original case & manual for Night Warriors - just waiting for it to arrive.
