Inside. Again, these are the Game Boy cases from customgamecases.com. The circled red areas are the parts I cut out. Afterwards, I added the foam to hold the game in. You would need to cut out different plastic in a DS case, but the idea is the same. The foam is purely optional if you don't want the game moving around.

Here's a picture of mine.

There is one other option I forgot to mention. As I said, I put my GG games in modified versions of the Game Boy cases from customgamecases.com. However, you could just find old Nintendo DS cases and modify those as well. All you have to do is cut out some of the plastic on the inside. Those cases take the exact same size art as the before mentioned Game Boy cases, so you should be able to find some of the artwork. Those cases won't hold manuals, but they do look good on a shelf.

I was thinking about it this morning, and if I can add a second suggestion, it would be Dr. Strangelove.

I'm surprised that so many of you assume it's a terrible game. I've always heard good things about the Cooking Mama series. I haven't played it, and I'm sure the game isn't for everyone, but for those who get into the game, I hear they really enjoy it. The fans probably fall under the "casual gamer" group which is why you aren't hearing from them here.

Yeah, I get that. With most of his cases, you can buy in bulk without covers (and print your own) and save a lot of money. I'm not sure why he isn't doing that with the GG cases, but it probably has something to do with getting the tooling costs paid for. He has to front a lot of money to get the tooling built.

Have you ever done The Fifth Element? If not, that would be my suggestion.

Good movie. I haven't seen it in years, but I would watch it again.

Shadowfox has created actual GameGear cases over at customgamecases.com. I used modified versions of his Game Boy cases from the same site. I modified my GB cases long before he developed his GG cases and I haven't gotten around to upgrading. His cases aren't cheap, but they are very high quality. Same goes for his other cases. All are excellent quality.

I've seen this done with GameBoy games many times, but never with Game Gear. There are several threads at The Cover Project dedicated to GB artwork for those types of cases. I'm not sure how the GG games would fit. They are just slightly too big and that's probably why you aren't finding artwork either.

I've been to the old smelter in Missouri before it closed. I've also been to the recycling plant in Southeast Missouri and 1,000' below ground in the lead mines in one of the world's largest natural lead deposits (I think it's the largest, but I can't remember). That entire process was always very interesting to me. The lead mines and mills themselves weren't too bad as far as environmental impact goes, but the smelter was a whole different story. It was almost kind of spooky how dangerous it was. Simply taking a tour of the facility required specialized PPE along with a required shower with special soap before leaving the facility. The recycling plant was pretty cool too. They mostly handle car batteries, but they also used to take in a lot of old tube TVs. They also handle waste from shooting ranges. Do you know if any of your recycling has ended up down there? Funny thing is that after working in the lead industry, I spent several years in the brass industry. So I've worked in the first two steps of ammunition production, but not the third.

I'm also voting for moving all of these posts into either a blog or group.

Do you specifically work on cleaning up lead, or was that just an example? I'm just curious because I used to work in the lead industry years ago. It's pretty fascinating how dirty and environmentally unfriendly lead can be, despite it's ridiculously large number of uses.

Not only does my wife not like video games, but she hates the fact that I collect and own so many games. With that said, while she probably wouldn't want to admit it, she had found several video games that she has enjoyed. Most of these games fall under the "motion sensor" games or the "dancing" games. She was a pretty big fan of the Wii back when it was new. She enjoyed any of the simple motion games like Wii Sports, but her favorites were always the Dance Dance Revolution games, or anything similar. The biggest surprise for me, however, was how much see enjoyed the demo disc of the PlayStation VR. I forget the name of the game, but there was a game that sent hoards of monsters built out of blocks that you had to shoot. She probably spent a few hours playing that game and really enjoyed it. That's about all I can recommend. I've pretty much given up on ever getting her to enjoy games outside of those.

I don't care if people use a Go Fund Me because everyone has the choice to give money or not give. I also don't care if the employers choose to pay their employees during unusual circumstances such as COVID-19. In fact, I think that's a great idea. What I do have a problem with is when the government steps in and mandates that these things have to be done. You won't ever get me to support that.

Don't forget to block him, and all of his other accounts.

Officially completed the original Game Boy version of Link's Awakening (as much as I hate to admit it), for the very first time.

It would have been (and in fact was) far, far easier to actually go to the moon, then it would have been to fake it and keep the story under wraps for all of these years.

This is why I prefer LRG's strategy. They will only complete one print of any game that they publish, but they never prevent the developer from publishing the game again at a later date with a different company if they wish. This is the best strategy for both the buyers and the developers. The buyers know up front that more copies of the game could come down the road later, but they also know that the LRG branded version will always be unique. The developers also win because they are never locked into one print, just in case their game becomes huge or popular.

There is certainly nothing wrong with not wanting to get every single release from LRG and all of the similar companies, but I can't comprehend how anyone could argue that they aren't part of the full set. They are fully licensed games. There is really nothing to debate. When this generation is all said and done, there will be a very small number of people (if any) with a full PS4 set. It's simply going to be too difficult to piece all of these games together. I don't see that as a bad thing. For those people who are full set collectors, it kind of sucks, but that's how full set collecting works. There is absolutely nothing wrong with subset collecting. But going for every PS4 game that wasn't released under one of the many limited print companies, is simply a subset of the PS4 library. It won't be a full set.

After enjoying the Link's Awakening remake so much, I though, why not try the original? Working on Catfish Maw dungeon right now. The original is definitely a masterpiece and I feel like I missed out on an amazing game by not playing it back when it was released. With that said, I love the modern revisions to the remake, especially the extra action buttons. Changing between all of the different items on the original can be a pain in the ass. And of course, the extra detail on the map on the remake really helps.

Much happier. I enjoy seeing these pictures.

The lack of pictures in this thread is disappointing.

Definitely an 8, maybe even a 9. I've watched the new one with my kids. It's ok, but it just makes me want to watch the original again.

Also, I think it's funny that they did a mini version of one of the smallest gaming consoles ever made. NEC was making "mini" consoles LONG before it was the cool thing to do.
