I've never seen them before,to be honest.
It seems that they are official (*looking at Nintendo-Logo*).
Is there any place (exept ebay) where to get this babies?
They flocking RULE!
I need them for my loose carts.
So anyone?

thanx in advance

I remember Toys R Us used to sell them way back when. Don't have a clue now days.

You could buy packs of 5 or 6 (cant remember) of these. Ive got quite a few here. They are nice. They are on the US ebay all the time.

Those are generic casing that was used in videostore back in the day. Some are official (i have one with a sticker "licensed by Nintendo" and the SOQ) and some are not.

If you want to see some more, there are about three auctions on this page for some:

They also come in Blue & Pink for the offical ones. Toys R Us also sold them singally for 99 cents (I think...I'd have to check the price tag on mine in 2 weeks)

I believe there is clear, blue, and yellow for unofficial (doesn't have "nintendo" foil in it)

They are nice and have a small recess in them for manuals, so they don't get crumpled in the black plastic sleeves. About 1/3 of my NES collection is in them, just from what I've taken home from work.

I've got a bunch of those. I use them to store my HO slot cars though, hardly seems worth having just 15 or so of my several hundred loose NES carts in those boxes.

I only have one of these at the moment, which i am saving up for Stadium Events. (Someday.....someday....)

[Chunky]

looks like someone went around the indentions of Nintendo with a sharpie.

[rbudrick]

I used to throw these out...I had so many....I didn't have any use for them...they took up too much space.

Thats how they are made.


I also have those hard plastic cases for super nintendo. Just like the one in the pic (same size) Except the Super Nintendo is more in the center.

[The Manimal]

I hate these things LOL

I like the black sleeves.

These plastic things are a pain to open up, take the game out, and put them back in, close the case. Too much effort.

Plus they take up so much space! And you end up having to label the damn cases on the sides so you know what game it is.

[Rev. Link]

I'm not a fan of those things myself, but I do have one that I keep my original Legend of Zelda in.

Geez! :eek 2: Do you own any CDs/DVDs? I'd hate to see how you react to those.

[The Manimal]

I like standard jewel cases. I do not like digipaks or DVD cases.

[sisko]

There are official clear, pink, blue, and yellow cases.

I just scored a lot of 50 of these on eBay (most are generic, but do the same thing anyway). I've currently got 28 extra.

The beauty of them is that they hold 2 standard Famicom or Genesis carts quite nicely.

[VACRMH]

I have a few lying around. I use them to hold my NES manuals.

[bensenvill]

I've got one for the NES and SNES, One came with a YO Noid auction which now holds my copy of Maniac mansion (no, its not my most valuealbe game but its my most cherished) and the others for earthbound (for the same reason).

I definitely think its worth having a few for your prized items

[BHvrd]

I have 2 very odd ones.

They are called "Permastruct". They are just like the plastic ones in that auction except they have a orange dude making a comical punch, and the instructions for the game are bonded inside the plastic. Not original instrustions, but this so called "Permastruct" orange dude quick reference instructions.

A local video store used them in the late 80's, and I bought 2 with them. Not sure if the guy had them made special, anyone know? Weird.

[Dr. Morbis]

Those 'permastruct instructions' were very common around here (Alberta, Canada). I once asked a video store owner about them. He explained that instr. books were often lost, and photocopying them was not an option 'technically' because it infringes copyright laws. So Nintendo or Mattel (I don't know the true source since Mattel distributed all 1st party Nintendo products in Canada) would issue these instruction stickers for a nominal fee. The video store owner would then stick them to the plastic game case. I don't know if this is a Canada-only phenomenon or not.

[Achika]

Michigan had them too.

I think Nintendo ended up taking Blockbuster to court over the copying of instructions (one of many, I know) and BBV ended up losing.
