Lynx multi cart Display Box?

[SainT]

Guitari mentioned there may be interest in having a proper display box for the cartridge. Is this something people are interested in? I'm aware Gaztee has done a very nice job on the Jaguar Xenon 2 boxset, etc...

 

I'm looking into a simple small case, mostly for the purposes of protection during shipping, but nothing as fancy as a proper display box.

So there's this multicart thing that you can leave in the lynx with all the games on it.... and people want to put it in a box on the shelf???

 

LOL.

[SainT]

I guess the box is for the shelf and the cart for the Lynx

People actually spend a lot of time creating inlays for clamshell cases for their Mega Everdrives, so I can understand it. ^^ and actually, with cardboard boxes like opd Nintendo and Atari stuff I always use them for display only, but never put them in the boxes so the cardboard doesn't get scruffed etc. i store my games seperately.

 

The Lynx SD flashcard as part of the collection deserves a box too, I agree.

Yeah, I'd be keen...

I confess, I love a good box!

[TrekMD]

I'd be interested too.

Another box-lover here.

These guys made some amazing covers.

 

Perhaps SainT could make contact and put in a request for a custom box design, that's if they aren't working on it already ?

[+davidcalgary29]

Yes, please.

[SainT]

Not entirely box art related, but I thought something like this for a cartridge sticker, perhaps?

 

I quite like this kind of theme for the box art if it goes that way -- all the characters from Lynx games in one.

[Guitari]

But where's the viking child

[Guitari]

Yes please to a box set from me, I'd love to see a colour box, box insert /insides that hold the cart in place, colour manual and selection of stickers

[Maddog]

I'd be up for one as well

[Rick Dangerous]

I'm up for a case! (need somewhere to put it eventually

[SainT]

On the above theme of game sprites, a mockup of box art.

 

[Guitari]

Oh, yes..!!

[SainT]

I was supposed to be getting an early night, but I couldn't help myself. I've worked it up a little more...

Nice work saint The lemmings are a great detail ​

[Guitari]

Time to contact Gaztee then? I was thinking of a box version for model one and a box version for model two.

Something along the lines of a picture of the cart without the cover and the words 'compatible with the lynx model one'... you can work the rest out for yourself. Twice the design effort though.

I had been thinking along the same lines, but wondered if that was one step too far. I did a quite nice silhouette of the Lynx 2 and thought I could do a Lynx 1 as well to show compatibility. So wouldn't require too much more design effort, but would require a separate print. The other option would be more conventional - have a checkbox next to the image and physically tick it...

 

I actually have a cnc cutting machine, so I may well be able to produce the boxes to a professional finish, too. I like to try my hand at everything if it looks like I can do a competent job. Getting stuff professionally printed isn't an issue either and should give very nice proper top quality results.

 

I quite enjoy product design...

Nice work! I too especially like the way the Lemmings are incorporated. I would probably prefer characters to be arranged some other way than "standing in line" against the blue sky.... but then again, this is quite unusual.

 

BTW, no place for him?

 

[+davidcalgary29]

So when will these be available?

[SainT]

Not sure yet. I want these to be both functional (ie. protective in the post) and look nice.

 

I've found a suitable plastic box for the cart which is about the size of a pack of playing cards. I've made an insert for this which will take the cart -- it needs a little fine tuning, but works pretty well.

 

I'll see if I can post some progress shots over the weekend.

I would most certainly be interested in a nice box
