Games without cases

[Jitawa]

As look over my game collection, I find my OCD tendencies bothering me for various games I have that are caseless.

I've seen in some auctions that the games were supposedly released without cases (just the card in a box?).  I guess I missed out on some of this since the store I went to took them out of the boxes when they shelved them, and I don't recall buying any without a case back in the day.  I think I bought mostly CD games after I got the CD attachment I guess.

Anyhow, couple of questions, is there a list of games that weren't released with cases (or if it's a shorter list, ones that did have cases)?  Is there a source of any sort for generic HuCard holding cases (the grey plastic part naturally, the front part is pretty easy to replace)?

Awesome.  I guess I should be glad there aren't too many of them.

Is that a no-go on generic hucard cases?  I've been putting them in regular jewel cases... they usually don't move around too much.

[Sparky]

no, nothing that i know of, best bet is to look for loose sports games or keith courage cases or buy a few complete cheapies and gut'em.
Hmmm…the next thing ya know there will be a shortage of TV Sports Football Cases

[Jitawa]

Ha..

I hadn't even thought about that, great idea!

I thought I remembered Falcon not having a case BITD. Now I know.

Nice, this is helpful.

Next time D-Lite has a sale there is bond to be a few dozen Momotaro games in there for $0.50 each. There are loads of PCE games worth less than $1, and all PCE games came with cases. I can't think off the top of my head of any that are worthless and have the later style white inlays. I prefer those. Formation Soccer on J-League can be had pretty cheap sometimes.

Although without official stickers, back inserts and such I don't really see the point in it though.

On the subject of replacement stuff, you can find nicely scanned PDF of files of some the game manuals online.  This is just a matter of personal taste I guess, I'm a gamer rather than a collector, but I do like my stuff to look nice.  This site:

Is a good source for some games.  Print it on some double-sided semi-gloss and you have a pretty reasonable facsimile of an original manual.

Sort of a Keith Courage + non scuffed front cover from some random CD case + reprinted manual = a respectable looking former loosey-goosey HuCard

Well, rather that go through all that crap I'd rather just buy a PCE version that actually came with a case.

[Sinistron]

true that- but it seems that at least four of those hucards without cases came out in the US only (only one of them worth getting imo- Ghost Manor)...

[Necromancer]

Another alternative is to buy a few of the PCE games that came in double-sized cases (i.e. SFII and Populous), then swap out one of the HuCard trays for a standard disc tray, though you might have to hunt for those in white.

Not a D&D fan, eh?  Darkwing isn't too bad, at least playable, but Falcon is indeed one giant turd and only worth having for a collection.

I played a little D&D back in the day (way back) - but I think a video game that isn't an oldschool Zork text adventure should have some graphics representing what's in a room instead of showing me an empty room and telling me all the stuff going on in it that I can't see.  
It is in my collection though- maybe I'll be bored out of my f'ing skull one day and will want to play it more than the five minutes I gave it before I almost puked in my mouth.
