    I can't tell if you're saying the company is good or not.

    Those cases are just these Universal Game Cases with printed artwork from The Cover Project. It's a lot cheaper to just print/trim the artwork and stick it into the empty cases. They are designed to fit SNES, N64 and Genesis (both regular and large EA ones) cartridges, however need to have some of the inside modded in order to store NES cartridges. As for the GameBoy cases, they are just standard DS cases (the older kind that had a slot for a GBA cart), which can also be modified to accommodate GameBoy/GameBoy Color carts.

    We have actually have begun production of some of our own cases. They are not close to as cheap (price-wise) as the UGC, but higher quality. However they are much more affordable than these other stores selling the cover art + UGC. We started with NES. They will be sold in singles, 10-packs, or 100-packs. 100-packs come with 100 free cover art prints of your choice. We plan on making them for other systems as well.

    We are almost ready to put the NES cases up for sale, we are just working on the system that will allow customers to select what cover art they want printed. We expect them to go up late June / early July.

    Don't forget that your NES cases just so happen to fit SNES games pretty comfortably as well


    Also, the retro game case guy is a member here as well under the name Wingzrow I believe.

    Why do you hire unlicensed illegals? I am licensed and legal.

    I thought you made use of the ignore feature and, therefore, wouldn't be seeing wiggyx's posts?

    I do have a vendor's license and am a registered LLC. Though, to be clear, I never made claim that I was licensed for anything. But you're right, it really doesn't require a license to start your own business/brand from scratch.

    So what exactly are you licensed to do?
