Title: Cheap Display Cases: Perfect For Game Boy Games
Post by: Antimind on July 25, 2004, 01:36:16 AM
I've been looking for a long time now for suitable housing for loose GB-GBC carts and today I found it - at Wal-Mart...lol

They have el cheapo display cases in the crafts dept that are PERFECT for Game Boy games. They work like most poster/picture frames these days, with those metal clip thingies you lift to remove the glass and "box" from the frame. They're also really easy to paint since everything comes away from the frame.

Basically it's like a heavy (pretty damn strong) cardboard box type deal with a "velvet" coating that fits inside the frame with a piece of glass between. The box part's corners aren't glued together which makes them even more perfect for Game Boy carts. When you remove the glass and frame with the box sitting on the floor you can flip through your GB titles with ease without removing anything. I put my carts in contact side down (meaning facing the back if it's wall mounted). You can fit app 80 games in the 8x8x2.5.

They come in two sizes: 8x8x2.5 for app $8 and 12x16x2.5 for app $13.
