reklen Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I recently purchased a Burgertime Game complete in box, but the plastic cover is in bad condition. Is there a website or someone who replaces them, or has old covers, or makes new one? Any one know? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Schmitzi Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 that´s what I was thinking of.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 hmm, is it cheating if you just buy another but "cheap" cartridge in the same but good box, and then just swap that ? or is this not "original" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reklen Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Yes, that's the one. I'll probably do what you suggested, and buy a cheaper game in the box, and switch them out. But if anyone knows where to find replacements, let me know. Thanks for answering/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I am certain I have a couple I could spare. PM me tomorrow to remind me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I wonder how hard it would be to manufacture these boxes. They would be great for all the new software coming out and will work just as well for disks and carts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) some year ago an ebayer sold a whole lot of these boxes in auction: who won that auction ? anyway i think that cardboard boxes are more easy to produce.

+Schmitzi Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 . I think just another hoarder won this auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I bid on that auction. ISTR I lost it to a sniper, but now I do not recall. My thought was to make them available for new games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 anyway i think that cardboard boxes are more easy to produce. 4BurgerBox.jpg The cardboard boxes still need some kind of insert though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Yes the original ones have plastic insert in them, but for examble, produsing carton boxes for homebrew software we could think to use cardboard boxes and Styrofoam properly carved... i done some tries and decided for this kind of solution...

+OLD CS1 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Sadly, I checked the ones I have (four of them) and not one of them is in really good shape. I have one that is not bad, but it has a buckle in one of the corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schuwalker Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Anybody else besides me just loathe these style of boxes? Really curious on why the transition to these style of boxes??? I inherited a bunch of software from my dad's TI stash a while a back. One of the boxes was Typing Tutor in that style. Literally, the front plastic shell crumbled in my hands :/ On a side note, I have about a dozen boxes where there is a small window in the spine of the box. What's the story w/ these?

+Ksarul Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The ones with the window in the box spine are from the 1979-1980 time period. If you put the cartridge in properly, the text on the label shows through the window, and made it so that just one one box type was appropriate for almost all of the cartridges out there. These usually also have a front cover that opens like a book to show the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
