Any way to get replacement Master System game cases?

Post by BoneSnapDeez »

Bought a Master System game the other day and the plastic on the case is shredded to pieces, but the actual artwork is completely intact. Any places sell replacement cases, or at least similar sized ones?

I'm not sure about replacements, but my Genesis cases are the same size as my Master System ones, so maybe if you find any dirt cheap Genny games with their boxes, like sports games or something, you can just buy one for it's case.

I just checked and the SMS cartridges fit in the cartridge area in Genny cases. A little snug, but they stay in place perfect. As long as it's a case for a normal shaped Genny game and not one of the big ones.

Go to a retro store and look at sports titles. They should be dirt cheap - just buy the ones in decent cases.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I thought about buying a cheap Genesis game just for it's case... but the SMS game with the chewed up case was only $1.97. I'd feel like a n00b if I paid more for a Genny game just to get a case. Maybe if I see a crappy sports game with a case going for like .50 I'll spring for it.

I think the real question is:

Which game did you get?

Strategic Defense Initiative! :lol:

I can sort of see why they changed the name on SMS to Global Defense.

Anyways, it looks like a pretty fun game.

I don't know, I never could get into Global Defense.

Anyhow, Genesis cases work just fine as replacement SMS cases. I've actually got several genesis cases lying around unused. Shipping cost might not make it worth it to you though.
