+sixersfan105 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 What's the latest on Impossamole in the Piko Interactive store? It still says "Pre-Order" next to it, yet that should have wrapped up a month or two ago, right? I don't want to purchase and then have my money tied up for a while before receiving it. Thinking about grabbing that one and Switchblade for my recently acquired Jaguar. Worth taking the plunge on these two ST converted titles?

PikoInteractive Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 We are shipping already, was just waiting for new shells to change into in stock. However my wife is due any day now so I haven't gotten around on changing the site nor ship current orders, should be able to do it within the next few days. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/288868-impossamole-and-head-over-heels-jaguar-official-thread/page/4/#findComment-4298986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaggingUK Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Once people have these: How have people found Head Over heels and Impossamole. I remember these from my old ZX spectrum days, but can't afford to buy them yet - just wondered what people thought of them. I used to really love Head Over Heels.

I bought some Jag box protectors from Amazon, and the boxes don't fit inside the plastic. No, Piko Jag boxes are actually NOT the same size as original Jag boxes, which is a little surprising. They are 1/16 (one sixteenth) of an inch wider, which results in the inability to use many box protectors. Many Jaguar box protectors are the same size as SNES and N64 protectors, so there is a good chance that box protectors for those systems won't work either. That said, based on other posts in this thread, it sounds like some Jag protectors are larger than others (a little strange), so apparently some may work for these larger Piko boxes. I'm giving retroprotection's protectors a shot this go-round, per @Machine's suggestion. Would be nice if @PikoInteractive corrected this box size issue moving forward. Who knows, maybe they did this on purpose so you would be more inclined to play the games? I kid, as I'm guessing this was just a mistake by Piko or their supplier, much like the Switchblade box title (on side of box) being flipped the wrong way. Come on, guys, you can do better!

Our boxes are 1:1 to snes and N64 in dimensions. The problem may be that we use a thicker paper material. Cause they are more durable and sturdy.

Now I get that it's likely a cost measure so that you don't have to order one additional size box just for Jaguar games. Not ideal, but hopefully a different brand of box protectors will do the trick on my end.

JaggingUK Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 That would be a great help if you offered a box protector with it for even a $1 more if not free - although I have had no trouble with your games in the past fitting in my box protectors... Custodian and Switchblade I am sure both fit into mine, but I do have some that were marginally bigger - but a box protector included would be great Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/288868-impossamole-and-head-over-heels-jaguar-official-thread/page/4/#findComment-4323943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaggingUK Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The boxes from another company who do Jag games too are badly oversized boxes and they won't fit any of my protectors - Piko's actually aren't too bad compared to them.

Perhaps they would fit in another protector. For example, the Absolute-produced 7800 games measure 9 x 7 x 1 (inches) and Mortoff Games created a box protector for those games about a year and a half ago. Not sure if those would fit or if they're too big?
