Paul Westphal Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Hey guys, I found someone new to produce XE plastic cases. they look pretty good, except the art is a little off and he pulled the pics off the 2600 version. I will address this today. But they are still pretty cool and something is better than nothing. If you can think of any others you might need, let me know as I am in direct communication with him. He also does Jaguar cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Westphal Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Forgot - they are on Ebay " Atari XE cases " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Jaguar cases? You mean clamshell type cases you put the cartridges in? Those look slick and I've thought about going that route in the past, but at $5-$10 a pop, adds up way too fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Man, I thought this was about cartridge shells at first and got excited. Here's one of the auctions: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 171600927948 I'd like to see a photo of the interior. The auction states that since these cases were not designed for XE carts, they will move around a bit. That's the biggest problem for me right there. If someone can find a suitable shell, I have a professional color laser printer and could easily run off inserts inexpensively. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Westphal Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Al, he said he has a smaller case where the cart won't move around, but I would have to order a boatload... MortoffGames.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 What's a boatload and how much would they be? It would probably be better to find the original supplier of the cases, unless he is manufacturing them. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Westphal Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 100. I will find out how much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Hello guys (m/v) Man, I thought this was about cartridge shells at first and got excited. Me too. Sincerely Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteym5 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) The back of the Venture photo looks like the 2600 version and is stated for the 2600 / 7800. Putting "XE Games" on something for a 2600 / 7800 is going to confuse people. Edited December 21, 2014 by peteym5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Westphal Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 He is going to swap out pics to make them right. All other concerns will be addressed shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reklen Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 He's just printing out covers and putting them in universal game cases. Go to the cover project online and they have some xe covers. I put all my xe games in cases, and my covers look way better than these. These cases bulge a little because they were originally made for super Nintendo and sega genesis games. The XE carts are thicker, they close, but barely, and since they are thicker, they don't flop around inside, like games do. I made a cover for space harrier xe that looks better than these.

+Philsan Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Anyway, that link demonstrate that, as I wrote many times, with a little good will Atlantis Game Group and Video 61 could offer a package their good games deserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
