Swami Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I have several of Cote Gamers' Big Box games (7 I think) and wanted to find box protectors for them. The box protector for GameCube Four Swords NTSC works really well. There is zero to maybe 3mm of space on any side. They are pricey, though, at $3.50 a piece. Can't seem to buy them in large discount packs like the more common 2600/7800/colecovision and intellivision ones. https://www.ebay.com/itm/332428237600?hash=item4d66445b20:g:S9MAAOSwA3dYXDYe 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Good to know! ? Thanks. I always wondered about what would possibly fit those. Got any pics? I'd love to see how the extra space is with a game inside. BTW, I see they're also available from Retroprotection, & slightly cheaper too. That's usually where I get all my box protectors from. https://www.retroprotection.com/Zelda-Four-Swords-Gamecube-Box-Protector-1-NTSC-ONLY-211.htm On a different, but somewhat related note - wish I could just find one for their small box Intellivision game, Maria. ? Atari Lynx box protectors are pretty close, but no cigar.. too small vertically, unfortunately. They work perfect with Der Luchs Vectrex games though. Non-standard box sizes are a real PITA sometimes. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to get pics today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little extra thickness space was actually nice since the Bomb N Blast 2 box was bulging a bit from the contents inside and fit just right. Also, I just asked the guy about if there could be a discount for a pack of 10. Haven't heard back. I also have an Intellivision big box game from Cote Gamers (Fantasy Puzzle) and it fits exactly/snuggly in the vertical direction. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phattyboombatty Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 The only thing I don’t like is that they seem to hide the dimensions. Can someone provide the dimensions on this box protector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phattyboombatty Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Got it. 7-3/4” x 5-3/5” x 1-4/5”. Very odd size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
