SlowCoder Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Where would i find some empty cases for Genesis carts? I probably only need about 10 of them. Find a cheap ebay auction with sports titles. The cases will be in excellent shape because they were barely played. Ritualistically burn the sleeves, carts and manuals.

HatefulGravey Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I'm officially collecting sports titles. They will be the rarest of finds in another 5 years. Everywhere you look people are getting sports games and using the box for something else. This is just about the only way to get Sega CD cases. Sports titles from the Saturn, Sega CD, and long box PS1 titles all over the world are without homes now. Also, I agree, that is the best bet. Sports games suck, maybe don't burn the games but take their cases for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredlineboss Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Sports games suck, maybe don't burn the games but take their cases for sure. That's what I've been doing- buying cheap CIB sports games (got about 10 @ 50 cents ea locally) and repurposing the cases. One of the cartridge shells was also repurposed for a Shadow Dancer PCB that I picked up in the marketplace. -Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video_Invader Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 These are good ideas. I forgot all about that. Only thing is some of the sports genesis cases are EA sports cases and have their logo on the inside with a different cartridge insert and are usually a bit thicker. Sega Sports should work great tho like World Series Baseball. I could always donate the actual games on Craigslist for free or something like that.

It's also worth noting that the EA sports games for the Mega Drive look like this. So yeah, your best bet is the Sega Sports games, unless they too are horribly deformed beyond belief (seriously EA, the hell were you thinking with those carts?). EDIT: Whoops, it took me a second to realize you were talking about the cases. Still, a very good piece of information for anyone who's interested in making, say, a repro or something.

What does everybody think of the cover project and the dvd cases for sega cds etc. I prefer to use original whenever possible but sometimes people say heck with it and go with something different Edited September 5, 2011 by Video_Invader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you are the kind of person that makes a lot of backups, filling those up to look real when sitting in a collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were all found loose and I made those for them instead of just having them in black CD cases or something like that. Its a cool idea if you don't have the original box, I wouldn't scrap the real deal for the DVD case idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitiman Z Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Also, if you ever need replacement cases for the PS1 or Dreamcast, never buy the cheapo "thin" jewel cases. They are extremely flimsy and prone to breaking within only a few times opening them whole. Just go for some good quality standard size ones, and you should be good.

Anytime I've had to replace a ps1 case, i always use the same as what came off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Soldier Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Ask the local game stores to put them back for you. I found out my local stores throw away clamshells. I asked them to hang on to them for me. I go in once a week and see if they have any cases for me. Doing this has paid off with tons of cases and even guides. You can also try asking to swap for a better case when your purchasing a item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoolDave Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I wanted to bump this along. I am looking for a master system empty case. My favorate game has no box and as it's expensive now, I wanted to reprint a case label so I can put on my shelf with other boxed games...
