Universal Game Cases

Buying a game as a bare cart ends up always being cheaper (ceteris paribus) than getting a CIB (complete in box) copy, but you end up dealing with issues storing the game. Games come in all kinds of sizes, shapes, condition, etc., and all need a varying level of protection from light, moisture, and dust to ensure their longevity. The one thing I've always hated is how boxes come in different shapes, levels of durability, and sizes, making things an awful mess on an otherwise perfect bookshelf. Enter the UGC.

UGCs, or Universal Game Cases, are sold by MediaShelving.com in packs of 100. For about $62 shipped you get 100 clear cases that can hold Sega Genesis, EA Sports, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, CD/DVD based games, and more (with a bit of modification). The best part about this is that the cases allow for you to print and insert your own artwork, which is readily available on the The Cover Project's website. This is an OCD person's dream, albeit an expensive dream. Over the coming weeks I'll be working to get this project off the ground so that I can see what games are actually in the cases. Highly recommended buy.
