vectory.pos Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Interesting I might consider your carts if I don't hear anything back from the other clear cartridge guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MortoffGames Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Just for an update I also have the plastic cartridge trays under production and the paper sleeves the overlays fit into under production as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectrexer Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Will you be open to some custom features on your new mold? Such as on the end of the cart shell having a perfectly flat area for an additional label. The label would bridge the two halves of the shell.

Such as on the end of the cart shell having a perfectly flat area for an additional label. The label would bridge the two halves of the shell. I typically try to do 1:1 with the shells I make in order to have broader market appeal. I am always happy to make custom shells for customers however and have deals with several game designers where I make molds with their company logo for them; however they all buy quantities of shells that make such an arrangement financially agreeable. What type of numbers were you needing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the spirit of this thread. Comments from others reading this thread???? Certainly understood and appreciated. If there were changes to make it would have to be made very shortly as the mold is literally being made right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dphirschler Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Interested. Is this related to the other clear shell thread? Darryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortoffGames Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Interested. Is this related to the other clear shell thread? Darryl Indeed it is, the other tread did not pan out so I stepped forward to make this project happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinaryStar Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Just FYI - There is a clear shell order being organised by Sean Kelly at the moment (the order from the other thread on transparent shells).

BinaryStar Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I was talking to Sean about it just the other day. It's definitely happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortoffGames Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 I was talking to Sean about it just the other day. It's definitely happening. Originally there was no indication the project was moving forward. If this is the case people will have options at the very least. By the way my shells will be less than $5.00 each as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrumh2o Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 My wish is that someone would make puffy plastic case (like old Disney VHS tapes) forgames with a plastic window to insert art. I wonder how hard it would be to rig up something in an existing VHS case. Also.....are these cases going to be crystal clear, or have a frosted look?

ozyr Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I"d be interested in this, allow with the plastic trays and overlay sleeves. Sounds great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+5-11under Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Any chance of other colors, such as black or dark gray (or more colorful?) for the first run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortoffGames Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Any chance of other colors, such as black or dark gray (or more colorful?) for the first run? Yes I am more than happy to explore additional colors. Since black is the color they originally came in this would be a good second color on my opinion. Dark gray could be interesting as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectrexer Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Red will also sell. In fact. when i was selling the runs I ordered using the current Sean Kelly mold a few years ago. Red was the fastest to sell out. Clear was next fastest to sell out. Blue was the slowest. Years latest another run that was not mine had Teal and Orange. They both sold pretty fast too. Some pics are in this Google Album: https://goo.gl/photos/ZtQcuu2JdyJF6sU57 For comparison here is one with all colors plus an original cart.

Then I will make a run of transparent red shells as well in the initial order. Thank you for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also have the plastic trays used by Intellivision games re-made as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
