Most of those had cased versions and were only re-released in cheap ass Nintendo "style." The irony is that Nintendo finally figured it out like 10 years after Sega let it get screwed up.Originally Posted by Mzo
Do you prefer dogs or cats?
Someone could always design box art for the red-stripe variety. Didn't somebody do that with GBA games way back so you could display them in DS cases?

Only a handful had re-releases in cardboard, and those were usually titles published by Majesco after Sega gave up the 16-bit ghost (Castlevania Bloodlines, Contra: Hard Corps, Aladdin). After 1993, all Genesis games save for those released by EA were cardboard.
A fellow on my forum is making custom clamshell inserts for those games that had cardboard boxes. They have the same art and everything, but they look great in plastic. My copy of Crusader of Centy has one such insert and I want to eventually replace all cardboard boxes with them.
I'm trying to remember which cardboard crap I had. Phantasy Star IV, Shining Force II, Vectorman, and Beyond Oasis come to mind, though it's been a long time. I (am ashamed to admit that I) had started to focus more on Jaguar shortly after Sega lost its mind on packaging. And then the Neo Geo CD and Saturn came shortly thereafter. That's also about the same time I got my first Duo and Dracula X, so the Genesis got buried by an avalanche essentially. I got a CDX, an X'Eye, and a LaserActive at various times after that, but the golden age had ended.

remember the shitty photocopier quality manuals they shipped with thise too?
God forbid they lose a dollar. Of course a physical bit of software should be packaged and sold like spark plugs.
I need to get an insert and case for warsong. I some how lucked out and got a copy years ago in AL with just the manual. The clerk insisted that I couldn't have the case because that was the store copy and they needed it to sale games. I should have needed him and took it.

We've all run out of things to complain about, then?
Maybe we're just getting started?

Another option for your peripheral storage needs are Glad Freezer bags.
Don't even need zip-ties for the cables, as the bags ensure that the wire of one peripheral won't ever tangle with another. Moving stuff in these bags is super easy too. I love the look of the blue, translucent bags.
