I can't say on that 1 for sure till they are made.

Since they will be made exactly for the adult games.

They will be very close but I think there is a good chance they will work For big box studio 2.

I will certainly test it once I have 1 in hand. ;)

I don't have any of the Mystique games Yet, but I will eventually.

Add me to the list for 10.

Cool :) yes, smart to get them now even if you don't have any but plan to. And since they are all gatefolds they are prone to falling open so protectors is very helpful for them.

 

Also I see that these 2600 adult protectors will also fit the activision fat box games.

These were made for a few platforms. Particularly colecovision and Atari 5200. I believe 4 titles for the coleco and 5 for the 5200.

Then I think they were also used for some 8 bit stuff and commodore...maybe others?

 

This is the next size I want to pursue somebody to make...but in case nobody is willing these adult protectors will be something they will at least fit in.

The adult protectors will be about 1/2" wider than needed and about 1/8" taller and 1/8" thicker than needed for the fat activision boxes.

But I think they would still look very presentable in them and at least there would be something to fit them for now.

Do these fit other games, like Star Raiders?

Hmmm....don't have my Star Raiders in the big box out handy right now.

I would say it would have to be too big for these though.

If memory serves I think it is the same size as big box Indy 500 maybe?

If that is the case it is way to big and nothing I know of currently fits Indy 500 good.

If its the size of Track and Field though, there is a special box that fits that good.

So got out my big box star raiders set and was pleased to find out it fits very nicely in a super smash bros wiiu box. They are available here:

http://www.retroprot...otector-280.htm

These are a near perfect fit with just a bit of extra room on the thickness. These also fit track and field and the keyboard controllers and driving controllers.

I am documenting this info in my thread here:

And a final bump for the adult boxes.

He has made the order for them and we got enough preorders that he ordered 500. So hopefully this helps the price a bit.

Thanks everyone! I will post again when they are ready for shipping. Should be late January. :)

Just wondering if you could add 7 tall box intellivision to my order I believe you said these would fit atari sega tall box? thanks stupus

Hi,

sure he can combine any items for shipping. I will post when the adult game protectors are available. Then you can place an order on his site and add the tall box intellivision protectors to your order.

they are 95 cents each or 10 for 8.75. So I would recommend a 10 pack....plus there are 9 Sega games for the 2600 that use them.

I also found protectors that are a perfect fit for the fat box Activision games.

Like ghost busters for the 2600 and 5 titles for the 5200 and 4 for the colecovision.

I will post about these soon in my protector thread.

thanks!

I CAN´T BELIEVE I MISSED THAT! :-(

 

Still time to join in?

 

Thanks!

I never saw your thread either lazzeri :)

 

We came close to 200 preorders so he felt comfortable to order some additional ones too. So there should be some available for you guys when they are ready.

He had said late January they may be ready. So if I don't hear from him soon I will inquire on the status.

Then I will post here with updates etc.

:)

LOL!

 

Thank you in advance. My OCD just don´t allow that nice games with no box protector.

 

Specially adult games! Using protection is mandatory! :-)

So great news! I got my samples of the atari 2600 adult protectors yesterday.

They look outstanding and are an awesome fit!

Also the 1 big box rca studio 2 game school house 1 will also fit in them.

A tiny bit of extra space for it but still looks great and wonderful to have something for it.

The pal video gems games also fit in them but the protectors are thicker than needed for them. But there was really no good option for them besides the vectrex protectors and these are a better fit than those.

Dan from retroprotection.com said they should be up on the website for order by Sunday night. So check there soon especially if you preordered some! You won't be disappointed!

None have shipped yet but the samples I got.

The ordering will hopefully be up tonight sometime at:

retroprotection.com

Just have ataribuff place his order for both of you and you can split shipping.

As it is certainly more costly going overseas.

I will try and post here when I see the link for purchasing goes live.

We want all preorder people to be the first to know they can place their orders. ;)

Dan has been swamped with orders.

He didn't end up getting the purchase links up last night for the new adult protectors.

I will post the link when orders can be made and processed.
