Ok Songbird Productions! Answer me this!

[WesleyrpgAust]

We all know you do a superb job of re-producing the Telegames Lynx games like Super Off Road, Double Dragon and Krazy Golf, but why are 4 of the Telegames CD jewel cased only?

 

Fat Bobby, Hyperdrome, Raiden and Bubble Trouble also deserve a boxed release? Is there a particular reason why these 4 are a CD Jewel case only? They stick out like a sore thumb in my collection!

 

What would it take to make an 'official' box for all 4 of those titles with the usual box dimensions? Is there an official box for these titles already or would an artist be required to design something?

 

All the best

Where is Carl hiding? Holidays?

[roots.genoa]

He would answer if you actually tagged him.

[Isgoed]

I would probably hesitate to answer to such a "demanding" question.

[Fadest]

Are these games published by Songbird or still by Telegames ?

In the second case, I don't see what Carl could do...

[WesleyrpgAust]

I was under the assumption that Carl was producing the games as he ran out of stock and I was very much wrong!

 

They come from Telegames themselves, and that's why they are always in CD Jewel cases!

[tripled79]

Yeah I was under the impression these four games came from Telegames U.K. that Carl provides for American Lynx collectors without having to deal with shipping costs, etc.

Fat Bobby and Bubble Trouble were actually released by Telegames in a variety of cases; my copy of Bubble Trouble came packaged in this ugly white DVD movie case with cheap red printing on the front and back. Really, the CD jewel cases are an improvement. I dimly recall that Hyperdrome also orginally had some other packaging, but have never seen Raiden in anything but the CD jewel case.

 

I believe that Pete (UK Telegames) stated that Telegames just grabbed whatever packaging (and boards) were available at the time when making another production run of their cartridges; that's why there are so many cart variants of their games.
