Title: Looking for Custom Cases, and some Real Replacement Cases & Manuals. List Inside
Post by: greedostick on March 02, 2014, 05:44:21 PM
Just picked up a huge lot from a guy of some sweet Turbo Goodness. Almost all games had manuals but sadly no cases. So I am looking for a few real manuals, real cases, and some custom cases.

What is a fair price to pay for some good cases? I see some on eBay but $15.00 seems pretty steep for a generic case and custom spine label. Here is what I am looking for.

I also have one more question. Is Dead Moon a plastic tray release or does it have a real hard case? Cause I need a case for that one too but prefer original if possible.


Real Manuals:

Jackie Chan
Neutopia
Shockman


Need Real Cases:

Neutopia
Dragon's Curse
Military Madness
Legendary Axe 2
Ninja Spirit
Parasol Stars
Dungeon Explorer
Blazing Lazers
Alien Crush
Side Arms
Galaga 90


Want custom cases:

Jackie Chan
Air Zonk
Neutopia 2
Shockman
Bonk 3
New Adventure Island

Gate of Thunder
Y's Book I & II

$15 is too much?  Didn't you just "overpay" for Magical Chase? #justsayin

You got me mixed up with other guy. I purchased magical chase over 12 years ago. But don't have it anymore.

Let's not be so confrontational!

I know someone was making custom cases with the clip and everything, but can't find the thread D=

He's right.  I think I got him confused with "Mothman" or something like that. 

Edit:  I remember now.  You were the guy with the smallest violin story.   :-({|=  :wink:

Not a big deal. But if anyone knows a guy I would love to know. Cause I want them for these tray games.

There was no jewel case for Dead Moon.  Luckily, Phase just made a custom cover for it.  Check it out here:

For my loose huey's I use these:

They are gift card cases from Hastings.  As far as I know Hastings is the only store that carries them.  I printed the covers myself from thecoversproject.net here:

They were originally designed for DVD cases, but since the gift card cases are exact proportions to a DVD case I was able to scale the DVD covers to fit perfectly (about 66% of the original).  I am very happy with the way they came out and I hope to have one soon for Soldier Blade.  Cheers!

Edit:  forgot to mention.  Each case is $1 at Hastings + about $.50 per color print = custom case for $1.50

I bought a dozen copies of Keith Courage a while ago for $2 apiece from a used gamestore that had an excess.  I use them to store loose hucards and the games that were released late.

yes it is, way to much and not to promote my stuff but if you can snag some keith courage or sports titles you can get a set of the 21 spine labels from me for about the same price as that clown selling that case and spine label on ebay.

Also once your post count gets up you are welcome to the inserts i make as well, just another option man if you get stuck.

Sweet! I guess I will get some bulk turbo stuff and sac some cases. If you wanna PM me your I can gift you after school. If that's ok. Not sure if my post number applies to that.

Schweaty, those are pretty nice. I'm all too familiar with printing inserts at kinkos.
