When I first saw your pic, I started horrifying about the shelf space it takes up. Actually if that is CD-sized then it makes sense. A good way to keep the game book intact.RyaNtheSlayA wrote:I was sceptical about buying a US game for my NeoGeo Pocket Color but I must say these are the best cardboard boxes I've seen. They are made with very thick, stiff cardboard, and feature a decent way to open them.

Re: Wow, actually decent cardboard boxes...
Why? Because he wanted to have a box for the game. I don't know if there was ever a box for the it. I know that standard packaging for the Atari 2600 in Brazil was these cardboard boxes. He bought some games with boxes in great shape and wanted this one to look good alongside them.slowslow325 wrote:Why'd he do that? Was there never a box for Yars' Revenge? I'm confused.

Re: Wow, actually decent cardboard boxes...
I was just wondering why he didn't just find an original box. It actually looked authentic and everything.jfrost wrote:Why? Because he wanted to have a box for the game.

Well, it's almost impossible to find one.
