I would like to have Atari 2600 to be next after game gear.
The Atari 2600 cases would also be good for the
Atari 7800 and coleco vision.that would be 3 more
Systems done with one case. The size should be like the
UGC that way there's more shelf space and there is covers
Already made. l not sure if it's possible to fit the manual.

The tricky part of making an Atari 2600 case would be making one case that holds every different size of 2600 game (there are many).
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I think the best approach to a 2600 case would be to make one that accommodates as many styles as possible and then make inserts like the one wiggy came up with for his Neo Geo Pocket games for all the cartridges that need extra padding or differently placed clips.

Personally I'd hope for 32X cases next, though I actually suspect those will be some ways out due to the small library and unpopularity.

Again, I'd love a 3.5"/5.25" floppy case. There are plenty of systems that use floppy disks (PC, C64, Amiga, Apple II, etc.) and they're notably less durable than other formats.

I thought Genesis cases were designed to hold 32-X games as well.

Yeah, aren't Genesis and 32X games the same size and don't they fit in Sega brand cases?

Technically, no.

I was talking of Shadowfox cases.

Some originals do fit 32X games, least some EA ones if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, some of the EA cases work for this. But even those have gotten hard to find in my area.

I would love cases for holding 5.25" floppy disks for old computer games. I've searched high and low for a solution and the closest I came across was an audio book case I found at Goodwill, and sadly it's impossible to source such a thing. Universal Game Cases are an alright choice for housing 3.25" floppies but that's not quite enough.

I know that a lot of Sharp X6800 games came in nice snapper cases, however being a computer there was no uniform size, and at any rate no-one is currently manufacturing cases like this. Something along these lines though, that can hold 5.25" floppies, 3.5" floppies, or even a multi-CD jewel case would be a godsent for PC game collectors who perhaps don't want to shell out for a complete big box copy of a game but none the less want something nice to put on the shelf.

Have you thought about using Atari 2600 box protectors?

They are just under 6 inches wide, 7.5 tall, and 1.25 deep.

They are flexible, but a small foam insert in the bottom would stop them being crushed if you were concerned.

8-Disc Poly Cases are your answer!

Pictures aren't working but the template link is still live to get some idea what it would look like.  these cases can be easily sourced online too.
