I apologize if this question is commonly known to you guys. Translucent plastic looks so tacky to me, and I'd love to have a set of black UGCs.

If not, do any of you guys know if an N64 cartridge fits inside of a Sega Genesis case?

No they once made black ones as well but discontinued them long ago.

With modification yes, as does SNES games.
Manuals no.

What do you think the odds are of finding them for sale these days? That's a damn shame that they'd discontinue them. You would think the black would sell better than the translucent.

I'd say the chance is kind of zero. Afair the black ones were only available wothout a sleeve. maybe because of that noone bought them. I could be wrong though.

I though they had sleeve as well, least someone here made cover for old Game Boy they planned on putting into black thicker UGC.

Do you have a link to a source? Mediashelving hasn't carried black for quite some time now. I was planning on purchasing some UCGs when Mediashelving got the clear ones back in stock but I would MUCH prefer black ones.

I asked about black ones and they said back on 11/24/10:
"No, black is no longer an option for these cases and were discontinued long ago (unless you want a customer run and order over 10,000pcs or so)?"

Who knows if we can get enough people to ask for them to go into reproduction, maybe even red ones, thous would be grate for red spine Genesis gases.

Hmm, assuming they're the same cost as the clear ones at like 45c a piece that's like $4,500 (before shipping) for custom cases.  It'd be cool, but if I was in that position I'd want to have a lot of people signed up and paid ahead of time because that's a fair chunk of change to tie up in just UGCs.

As and OCD person I have to say: Red is Nintendo color, Sega is blue.  ;)

Well if we how a lot people WANT black UGC, maybe they will put them back into production, Even if we cant get 1,000 cases of 100 claimed, they are popular and they would sell fairly fast I'm guessing, with black probably being a more desired color for the case. Other colors like Red or Blue is probably pushing it. If we can just tell them basically "A lot of people would like black versions of the transparent case" and give a example of said people. The black cases would go better with SNES covers, or any cover.

No company right in their mind would just order 10000 pieces because some people "say" that they desperately want some and would order. If you could get 10000 or at least some thousand preorders with pre payment together then maybe.....
