I think the plain black is more aesthetically pleasing, but I love how unique the checker looks...
Put me down for checkered.

Solid. This is the SNES not the Genesis.
Having checkered background on the SNES cart is like having the Genesis pump out good game tunes. Just cant be done!

Just remember that's the checker from the Racket front page background.

Yeah, if Ziggy can make the checkers different shades of gray/black like the Racket background, put me down for checkered.Hobie-wan wrote:Just remember that's the checker from the Racket front page background.

Indeed, I saved the Racket background, made it larger, darkened the grid, and shipped it to Ziggy to add in.RyaNtheSlayA wrote:It is that way right now (but it's very subtle)YoshiEgg25 wrote:Yeah, if Ziggy can make the checkers different shades of gray/black like the Racket background, put me down for checkered.Hobie-wan wrote:Just remember that's the checker from the Racket front page background.

I see I'm still up in the air. 
I do like the checkered look, but I still put my vote towards solid black.
Although I should say, if you happen to make more than one repro, there's no reason not to use both styles. There's no argument for consistency because these carts will be unique anyway.
Just my thought.
