UHATEIT Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Damn thats a sweet looking case since it actually fits! At $3.99 each thats about what the clear UGC go for as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 UGC's work out to about $1 for the case, $2 for high quality art insert, so they are about $1 cheaper. So not much cheaper i'd say, considering the quality look of those bit boxes, and the fact that they fit the cart better AND the manual in the same case. May have to look into it someday....lol.

McCarseat Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I'm still having a hard time getting inserts printed with a good enough quality. My printer sucks, locally i'm having issues finding a print shop that will do it on anything other than regular copy paper. If things weren't shut down it would probably be easier, but i have about 100 inserts that need to be printed for NES, SNES, PC Engine, and now Jaguar. It's a decent small relatively easy job, but oddball enough that the couple local places haven't been quick to respond with quotes. UPS printing service near me will do it, but the best they can do is 28lb laser paper. I was surprised that no one seems to care about the copyright stuff though haha.

Rick Dangerous Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 I use Staples for printing; but they are shut down right now as well. Sitting on about 20 or 25 DVD case and UGC covers i need to print myself! Always use thick high gloss paper, never regular copy paper (which isn't even big enough for a UGC sized properly).

Yeah that's my issue with the Bitboxes, they are even bigger so 8.5x14 is the paper size needed so it limits things at places like Staples, UPS, and Kinkos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Staples actually did really nice Shock Box inserts for me (huge) so i'm sure they could handle Bit Boxes. Guess it depends on the size/capability of your local Staples print and copy center! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCarseat Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Did you do it online or just go in person? The options for sending an order online is not very intuitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 I always go in person. I bring a folder with printed example sizes (UGC, Genesis clam-shell, DVD, Shock Box) so they can resize properly if any files happen to be off a little. Usually works very well all around!

McCarseat Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Here we go, I have to make some extra shelves so I can stack them the right way in another book case...but all safe and sound for now. Now if I could only find my iWar cart...that one seems to be MIA. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask Gaz about some older titles, he might still make them. I bought about 9 this last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Sargon Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Sadly, the Universal Game Cases have been discontinued. https://www.retrorgb.com/rip-universal-game-cases.html That is unfortunate, as I have all my Jaguar carts in them. I should have enough extra cases to get me by for the next few years of releases, but whenever I eventually run out that is going to suck. My OCD won't tolerate some cases being "different", so hopefully someone else can pick up manufacturing of these cases somewhere down the line! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could NOT have two types of cases...lol I can't believe they discontinued them. Yep; need to order 2x 100 count boxes and should be set for life; haha. (WOW---Sold out on The Video Store Shopper; scratch that idea!) Luckily; with bit boxes and such; seems like there will always be good options out there. And yes; these are so universally used i wouldn't be surprised if someone bought the mould and started making them again after COVID.

I have all 5 of those and can input them here tomorrow. They are on my work computer where I printed them from so I can grab them tomorrow and post here. Unless it's cart versions you want I don't have of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHATEIT Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I have Expressway and Rocks Off on my computer so I added those 2 for you above. I have printed versions of Black Out, Superfly DX, and Painter, but I cannot seem to find them on my computer, but back before I had access to a nice printer I had someone print them for me so I probably had the files from him and aren't on my computer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 UGC's are back FINALLY for a reasonable price (less than $2 apiece when ordered in bulk.) Universal Game Cases (UGC) for Retro Video Game Cartridge | eBay If anyone needs a particular cover, look through the thread first....then DM me if you can't find it. Happy to help.

UHATEIT Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) Yeah man this thread and a few others and this one French website I can't remember were massive in helping me with all my Jaguar CD covers for my display. Then the cover art project . com was the other help for many covers for Saturn, Sega CD, Virtual Boy, 32X, 3DO, N64, Genesis, and whatever others I needed. This thread is a good resource for those that need a case for a loose cart or cd! Edited February 14, 2023 by UHATEIT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
