Anyone know a place to get a NES Game Box Template?
(Like One I can cut out and make?)

No, it isn't as hard as it sounds, my explanation is just confusing. Actually on only the bottom part explanation is.
These two pictures should help:

EDIT: I will make a drawing that explains it better, and scan it when I get my scanner back, probably tomorrow.
tiggerwalker:
That would be awesome
you could lay the case flat then trace it. That way we can just apply images to the template, print and easily assemble.

These are raw sketches what opened box would look like

On picture 1 black lines mean cutting, reds bending.
On picture 2, texts mean to which parts they attach, gray areas are to be cut away.
Hope these help.
Opening actual box and tracing it would not help, because scanning anyway distorts the dimensions.
Although some one could take raw scans and make NES box template, my computer (or skills) are not good enough to do it.

I have said thanks so meny times already :P
Thanks again
I want these boxes to look real, so noone can tell the diffrence in these and the real ones. Are you shooting for the same goal?

I'm not sure how accurate it is, but since I made it in Photoshop Elements, it's as helpful as it gets.
