Fuck, I love love LOVE my nice, hard plastic Genesis cases. They look so good on the shelf. (I also like our red genesis bar or black with logo better than any of yours :2T: } Towards the end though they started using the cardboard ones (here, at least) for a lot of games. Fail.

 

In contrast, I do not own a single SNES case or box art. They're just in a big plastic bin. Fuckin' lame.

 

Turbografx-16 games came in standard CD jewel cases, but I somehow lost every single goddamn one. I think I was just obsessed with the idea of it being such a small, storable card.

yeah, only paper one i had was Phantasy Star IV, ironic given that its still the most expensive game i ever bought.

 

you know, the cover project had me looking at these universal game cases, for wanting to put my SNES collection on a shelf as well, but i recall reading in their forum that youd need to work each case over a bit with an exacto knife, and said fuck that. if i ever find a good SNES case though, ill print all the covers out and make a big project of it.

Paper cases for Mega Drive games, that's a bit harsh. It's not like Sega of America wasn't rolling around in money back in the mid 90's.

 

I'm glad to say my copy of PS4 is in a black case. Although with no manual and it has rental stickers all over it... It's hard to find good copies anywhere.

I like how it's just a mirror image.

You guys get better back covers mainly because you don't have 50 fucking different languages on the back saying how fun and awesome it is.

 

 

and once again the Japanese cover wins.

That was my first thought. It's a cool cover, but who's that young lesbian on the front? Oh.

 

 

As far as shitty cardboard cases go, I had Castlevania: Bloodlines, Earthworm Jim 2, Weaponlord, Shining Force 2, SONIC AND FUCKING KNUCKLES :mad: oh and EVERY 32X game. All 3 of them I had.

What! my Bloodlines is in a nice black case.

 

Sonic & Knuckles is in one of thoes Sega Ozisoft VHS cases. It has to sit on its own becuase its too big to fit in with the rest of the games...

 

Yeah all 32X games here are in cardboard too, grumble.

 

Saturn cases are clealy the worst though. Well till 97 when they got that plastic cover and the manual clips in the case. CD spindle was still shit.

yeah, i forgot about S&K, good call...but my Bloodlines was also in a hard plastic case. weird.

 

Weren't Saturn games kinda oversized like Sega-CD and early PSX ones? they're awkward, but not bad! id take them over jewel cases anyway.

Now I'm a little pissed that I just got the inferior Bloodlines.

After doing a little homework, it turns out that it was in a standard case during the first wave of production. At some point in the Genesiseseses lifecycle, Majesco took over publishing duties for a bunch of titles. All of the titles Majesco produced came in the shitty cardboard cases, including subsequent printings of Bloodlines. At least in the U.S.

 

Lame.

The early PAL Saturn cases are shithouse. They where like a slighly bigger DVD case that was held together with a flimsy bit of cardboard. All my Saturn games are ripped, torn in half or the glue has come off. There is no clips for the manual in the case so that just falls out when you open it. The disk spindle is too high and the disk all ways falls out too.... Damn PAL..

that does sound shit, which is weird cause often the quality of cases/art seems to go japan > eu > us, for me. got any pics? again, domestic saturn cases ive seen have a different color scheme but similar size to our Sega-CD ones.

 

ps heads up, sexy hats! Sonic Generations (timed...) demo is up on the hong kong PSN store, its easy enough to make an account. if you read this later: should be up on the EU one today too.

Chaz always looked like a teenage girl, I don't think I'm dropping an epiphany bomb here when I say of our monster-hunting duo Alys was the man of the group.

 

While we're on the subject of rad Sega Genesis games I recently felt an urge to play Desert/Jungle/Urban/Soviet/Nuclear Strike. I miss the good old days of 16-bit sandboxing and copter physics that actively hated your very existence.

Doulbe Dragon II remake?

 

Looks like a Double Dragon revival is in the works. Germany’s USK rated Double Dragon II: Wanderer of the Dragons for Xbox 360.

 

Other than being unannounced, what’s interesting about this rating is Million, a company made of ex-Technos staff that owns the Double Dragon intellectual property, isn’t tied to the game. Korean developer Barunson Creative is listed as the publisher.

Yesterday, we mentioned that Namco Bandai is working on a new Evangelion game for the PSP. Yeah... big deal, there are lots of Evangelion games on the PSP.

 

This one may be special. Famitsu's report on Rebuild of Evangelion Sound Impact reveals the game's developer to be Suda 51's Grasshopper Manufacture. The game is being directed by Kazutoshi Ida (Aquanauts Holiday, Kyojin no Doshin) and has sound from Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill). Suda 51 is listed as the game's "creative producer."

 

Yamaoka's involvement may be a major point for the game, as Sound Impact is a rhythm action game. The game has six types of games that mix music and visuals. Yamaoka is doing remixes of familiar Evangelion music. You'll find over 30 music tracks in all.

 

Rebuild of Evangelion Sound Impact is due for PSP release on September 29. It will have two special editions. The game's Soundtrack Edition includes a soundtrack CD and special sleeve case. The game's "special version" adds a special t-shirt and ear phones.

 

Trailer here:
