Stevaside Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) My "Atari Lynx Man Purse" should be coming in next week to store everything in my new collection... Would like some of these to organize the rest of my games that won't go in the 12 slots it has....These seem harder to find then I thought...I'd like to buy a lot of 20, but the only listings I've seen with bigger quantities come in mixed colors or are from Asian sellers that I get a bad feeling about the quality... I don't really want to get them with the Nintendo logo on them, I just don't feel right about that hahaha....In that massive Lynx collection YT vid I posted recently that happened to be from member Rygar on here...I noticed they had what looked like printed game labels inside the cases at the ends...I really like that idea, and would like to do that myself...Should you be able to do that with any Original Gameboy case, whether Nintendo brand or generic?? I have no idea if the sizes differed, but some I've seen look to thin to really do that Any links you guys can send ?? I know there has to be some independent game stores online out there that still sell them... Thanks in advance Edited October 26, 2014 by Stevaside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 These cases fit Lynx games: http://www.customgamecases.com/ and you could even put the art in from the cover project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matashen Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 do you have one of this cases? Can you make a picture of it with a lynx game inserted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevaside Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Those look cool, but I'm wanting to keep the games in a small case such as the gameboy game clear shells so I can keep a row of them inside my Kit Case, which just came in yesterday....Thanks for commenting tho. I thought using Gameboy cases for Lynx games was a common thing..crazy how like 200 ppl viewed this & not 1 person can tell me a good place to get a few of em at lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And regarding my custom labels there was just made with Word like this model : Capture.JPG Last I looked the only lots of like 10 + had the Nintendo logo on them or were different colors, which I'd rather not have.... Think I might have to copy your idea for labels once I get some cases haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saffron1 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hi, I have made some inserts for Gameboy covers using Power Point. However, I can't upload them. If anyone knows how please let me know. If you want a copy just PM me. I will post a couple of pictures. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saffron1 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Here are the PPTX files in PDF form. These are the covers from AtariAge, so there are some missing. The front cover should print at 6.6cm High and 6cm Wide. The back cover should print at 6.5cm High and 5.6cm Wide. These will fit nicely in a Gameboy case. A dab of glue in the corners will keep them secure. If you want the PowerPoint version, please PM me with your email address and I will send it to you. Thanks to LX.NET for proof-reading and correcting my spelling.

saffron1 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi All, Here are some more Gameboy case covers for the prototypes/demos and others. I find it better to print them on A4 Photo paper.

+karri Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks. I already ordered a few Gameboy cases for my tiny collection. The front and the top appears to be just great. One thing I was thinking of is a cheat-sheet inside the box. Many games have some programming bugs. Like MegaPak Password: Opt 1 allows you to cheat once (it gives you a letter for free). But if you click on Opt 1 when you have no guesses left if decreases the guesses and wraps over to FF. Then you can just keep clicking Opt 1 to win the game. My son found this cheat in 5 mins after the cart was out. After 32 wins the cart opens up a secret game that stays in the menu forever after that. (The game is called Treasure and is a text adventure made by Scott Adams "Pirate Cove". I actually got his permission to add it to MegaPak.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Cool but I see one problem with the cases: when you have more than 50 Lynx games those cases would start to take up a lot of spaces. Without the case, I can fit my entire Lynx game collection into one large Lynx bag. With the case, I would need a few Gameboy style game cases like the grey and purple Nuby bag that holds about a dozen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saffron1 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 7800fan, Yes they do take up more room, but they look great and protect the carts very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trew Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm tempted to give the Game Boy cases a go... but a quick glance on eBay, and it's not quite as cheap as I'd hope. Anyone know a good place in Europe (or that ships here) for a decent price? Going to want about 60 off the bat... Also, being a collector, would want them all to be the same/non Nintendo branded etc. Jeez, I'm so needy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Many years ago, when the Lynx was relevant, I went to the Nintento repair center in Redmond, Wa. I asked to purchase Gameboy cases. They asked what I wanted them for and I showed them my Lynx. The employee went into the back and gave me a box of about 70 of them. The best thing was, that they were free!! The employees even wanted to play with the Lynx and thought it was pretty cool. I miss customer service like this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+karri Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hi, I got a number of these cases from ebay. The size is just right. Even my flash cart and EOTB fits in the case. Instead of putting the covers on the inside of the case I printed it on plastic with glue on the back side. Works like a dream... -- Karri 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Great design!! Printing the mini version of original boxes for the case cover. I may have to upgrade my old Lynx bag, it's not big enough to hold around 70 cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvirtuale Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I have 90 games for the lynx.My solution: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael David Morsette Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 That is a good idea, I wonder if manuals would fit ... maybe sideways... I have a solution for my carts I like shown here if your curious: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/203163-mr-blands-handhelds/ But I never have found a solution I like for the manuals. Something like that cd case would be a pretty cool solution. Just need to find a variation that would fit them well. I'll have to start looking around.

7800fan Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Some early Lynx manuals are rather large and won't fit the top CD sleeves unless you want them sticking out of the case. There's probably 5 or 6 large manuals, they were also reissued in smaller manual form when they were issued with smaller box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
