Duo_R,
For the Sega CD games, did you just use standard DVD cases? MediaShelving has 'em for a decent price (same place that sells those universal game cases):

I am using regular DVD case. I need some more DVD cases but not 100, so if anyone wants to trade let me know. I could use like 20.

Those look fantastic! :shock: If I hadn't traded in my old NES, Atari 2600 and SNES, I would've ordered some for the games that I didn't have boxes for.

Sorry, but I don't see your library card on the books of Ys.  Now, RETURN THEM TO ME!!!

So I got my first bundle of these cases and immediately went to work. I like them! There is some modification required to fit the NES carts, but it's pretty easy to do with a Dremel.

Still got a long way to go, but so far so good!

Thanks! I hammered out a bunch more today. To fit NES carts, some of the internal tabs need to be popped out. I tried several methods and the Dremel method is the quickest (and least stinky) so far, but it gets tedious after awhile.

These look very nice!!! I like I like! :D

I was wondering are you printing your own labels out? If you are what kind of paper are you using?

Thanks,
Robert

I am printing my own covers out (they're available at www.TheCoverProject.net linked earlier in this thread). These covers need to be printed on legal-size paper 8.5" x 14" as they are too big for normal 8x11 paper.

The TCP site has some decent tutorials on how to set up the images for proper printing.

Holy smokes, jperryss! Those look gorgeous! :shock:

The SNES ones even have the old ESRB ratings on them too. :lol:

Thanks! I really like them.

Many of these covers are custom and 'influenced' by the originals, but not exact scans. A few of them have spelling errors on the back on the game summary, so I think some of them were re-typed and not actually direct scans. The game company names at the bottom of the SNES spines were obviously not stock, but it makes them look much better on the shelf.

Also, the little ESRB logos are even on games that I thought were out before the system existed (like Gradius 3). And they do look authentic, but I don't think they said 'Visit www.esrb.org' back in 1991. :D

Regardless, these are still awesome boxes.  I'm just still amazed that people would even take those silly ESRB logos and put them on the boxes.  I know it's supposed to make the boxes look more store authentic but that's going overboard. :lol:
