Title: Repro (s)nes game boxes
Post by: Keoni29 on August 24, 2014, 09:19:33 am
aeTIos found this awesome website that has a lot of video game box scans that you can print and assemble yourself. I made this super metroid box using glossy photo paper. The paper is not as sturdy as real snes boxes, but it looks awesome!

Oh damn, that's awesome indeed. I'm gonna print a few boxes at a print service next week, including Super Mario Bros./ Duck Hunt, SMB3 and Kirby's Adventure.

Looks nice. Some people use plastic boxes but I don't like them as much. I got a repro box with my repro copy of Terranigma but the game saves won't always work properly.

I made a gameboy box just to see how it would turn out. The cardboard inlays are really tricky to make. I think I am going to buy these inlays here: http://www.gameprotecting.com/a-28570973/gameboy-inserts/10-x-gameboy-insert-inlay/ (http://www.gameprotecting.com/a-28570973/gameboy-inserts/10-x-gameboy-insert-inlay/)

I really should grab some of those at one point but for the SNES. I got plenty of boxed SNES games that lack the white tray.

Made a box for castlevania. The box structure is similar to gameboy boxes.

Looks very good. Is it me or are SNES boxes less complex?

Yeah snes boxes don't have the weird bottom part. They open from both sides. Nes and gameboy boxes can only be opened on one side.
