Polygon:
I hate that Sega got cheap and started using boxes later in the Genesis lifespan. The short of it is that I printed out the covers and put them in the clam shell Genesis cases and tossed the boxes in storage.

One problem.... Sonic & Knuckles. I thought I had everything perfect. That is until I closed the case. The top part is too big so the case won't stay closed. Here are some pics.







So, does anyone have any ideas? I've considered using a universal game case but m OCD want the cases to match. Then I wondered if there is a large spline Genesis case with a cartridge holder like this one or all they all sized to fit the Electronic Arts sized cartridges?
BadChad:
Thats funny, I actually have my Sonic & Knuckles in the exact same EA case and I cut out the same peices of plastic. Mine closes perfectly. Maybe you didnt cut out the plastic close enough to the case? I also tried putting in the manual from my roommates copy of Sonic & Knuckles and it still stayed closed. ???

Heres some pics of mine opened and closed:



Pay no attention to one of my past times in the background.  ;)
Polygon:
Yep, plastic is cut all the way down. If I pull the manual out it stays closed. That is really odd that yours does.....

I wonder what the difference could be besides a slightly larger spline?
TheGreatGonZo:
Keep looking for EA cases I have a case for my game that is bit bigger than the other EA cases I have.  It does have the EA logo on it so it must have been from a game with a thick book ( star flight?) . I don't have the sonic & knuckles cart here in front of me but I am almost sure it will work ( if you can find one).
Hope this helps..!

It could be that the clips that hold it shut are a little worn out on your case so maybe it doesnt snap shut quite a tight.
