STATUS: There's just something wonderfully cute about these envelopes/sleeves.




ALSO: The juxtaposition of the most coveted game among collectors (Magical Chase) in a non-collector outfit (homemade envelope) atop the genuinely lackluster* North American exclusive Gunboat did not go unnoticed. Many layers of amusement in that photo: literally and figuratively.

*I know Gunboat is far from the worst game, but folks generally don't love the TG-16 patrol boat simulation games...

Ya like said in the other thread I love this kind of stuff, and looking really good.

If you don't mind another thought I have box scans ( just front and back) of all the US release games, you could work them into your sleeve which would look really slick and almost official, when I get a moment I can mock one up, if you don't mind man?

Seymor these are fantastic.  If they were available for purchase I'd order an entire set.  What kind of card stock are you using?

Now this I would love to see!
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

I don't mind at all.
In fact, if you make the Left or Right black-flaps longer, so it'll cover the entire back side of the envelope,
it would make it easier to get any artwork ya wanna put back there, to line up.
I don't have as much free time as I'd like, so if you want to take this project over, I'm all for that.
IIRC, you even have some equipment in your possession, that would make it easy to churn out a bunch of them.

I used some old cardstock, that I kept in a plastic bin.
I no longer have it's original packaging, that showed the paper's brand and weight.
I'm sure Sparky can pick a nice paper, that would go well with it.

I have a bunch of games in generic CD cases which slide around a bit.  These are cool because they fit in a generic CD case, add a layer of protection to hu-cards, and also make shit look ace!

I bet they'll also work great with with Phase's 8-Disk Poly Cases.  8)

I am looking in to getting some custom-sized re-lock (Zip-lock) baggies made, for these envelopes.
They'd make for a great short-term solution for owners of the Turbo Express, that travel with it a lot.
I'm going to hold off a bit on ordering them, in case Sparky needs to make any adjustments to the overall size or shape of the Envelopes,
and also to see if he wants to go ahead and order custom-sized re-lock baggies himself,
or if he does an overhaul of the template, to make it work with hard-plastic PCMCIA Card Cases, or something.  :wink:

That is amazing.

Really good looking and don't take extra room.

Thanks for offering it up but my time is pretty limited as well but i will locate the box art and mock one up to see how it looks.
After that its a free for all :P

I'm looking forward to Sparky's version of the Envelopes.

In the meantime, I'll start making Envelopes for all of the US Games.
I'm going to go alphabetically.
