If I had the skills I think it'd be really cool to design a Pc Engine style Beyond Shadowgate style case. But I am not good with photoshop and stuff :(
You mean without the large "Duo" logo and done up to have maybe different artwork altogether? (Not that I dislike the current artwork, but new is always cool)

Maybe we can get with Nanto about making some dual CD cases?

The Shadowgate manual I offer has a few artwork pages added, but the cover and rear insert is original artwork
It's an unwritten law in Japan that every shooter series has to have it's own ''parody''

I believe bartre was working on something for BS at one point when we were going to press the games ourselves.  He did have BS done, btu I cannot remember if it was in the style of PCE or not.  I just remember it being totally different the original.

You can find standard 24mm jewel cases at amazon, uline, etc.

You can also get 2 cd insert trays as well. I did that with my copy of Ys 4 so the case holds both the original Japanese disc as well as a cdr of the translation.

I'll have to check in to that.  I just stack 'em in their normal case, where it's not 100% secure but the manual holds it down well enough for a game minimally handled and mostly sitting on the shelf.

Wow. This is incredibly generous of both of you to coordinate this so close to the holiday season. Kudos, I was worried I wouldn't have a chance to play these.

Nice work! Kind of wish I didn't splurge on DracX already. Curious, are more games forthcoming, or at least thought about being forthcoming?

There is a group of 7 or so of us that have been working on this project.  Hopefully there will be more games in the future, not sure which ones yet though.
