This guy said he doesn't where you can get more of these cases from, but says it's not a modified case... Anybody have any idea on where to get these and know if they have sleeves?

Mick Dundee:

It doesn't look like they have sleeves from the picture he provides. At least not from what I can see.

Shugo Takahashi:

I used to have some of these, actually. Nintendo made them for both NES and Game Boy a while back (I still have the Game Boy cases). They DO NOT have sleeves, so unless you plan on taping a cover onto the inside, don't bother with this one.

Symptoms0fMercy:

Yeah, I used to have a bunch of these too. Like shugo said, they don't have sleeves, any wouldn't fit our template if they did, so any covers for them would have to be remade. They do have a shiny nintendo logo on them though ;). They made 'em for NES, SNES, and N64 too. Ebay has em all, but again, there's no sleeves so they're worthless to most of us. :-\

Hey, those are exactly the ones I was thinking of. I remember seeing the N64 cases in the catalogs that came with old Nintendo Power issues. My dad mysteriously had a set of official cases just like these except for Game Boy games with the Game Boy logo on them, so I took them and I still have them to this day. They aren't being used for anything, but they're neat to have. It's a shame they don't have sleeves, because having a box-sized shelving solution for the old Game Boy games would make them match the UGC's we use for other old games.
