The Solution to Loose Games!: The Cover Project

[8bitCelebi]

Hi, I want to tell you about a website that will blow you away: http://www.thecoverproject.net/.

The Cover Project is a website that allows you to case up your loose games so they look great on a shelf. You may be wondering what's the big deal?

Game cartridges often came cardboard boxes which have unique art and info about the game. However most people threw them out because cardboard isn't archivable and they break easily. You can't really find boxes in great condition anymore and they wear out easily. Some games (CD, DS, Genesis, games) came in Plastic cases that have a sleeve to hold artwork and they're archivable and accessible. They have covers which you can download for free and print them out for various cases.

For example, most DS cases have a slot to hold GBA cartridges, and because they fit in DS cases, you can make them into GBA cases with the box art. Just print out the cover for the game you want, insert it and you have a GBA case that has the original box art!

You linked a file directory, lol. Host the image on something like imgur, then put img tags.

Sounds neat, but my mind would never be able to see the cases as actual GBA boxes. I'm real picky about that haha.

Yes but this a solution because the cases are more durable, progressive, and easy to find. It's still better than having it loose somewhere.

I like it. I have well over 40 gameboy games. Of those I can probably only find 25 of them because they are loose and not in a case.
After the new year I am going to look at doing something like this.

Gameboy/Gameboy Color games won't fit in a Ds case unless you mod it. But you can store them in a 3DS Game case. 3DS game cases hold GB/GBC games perfectly, although they are loose so I'd put some foam in it.
