[OCD ON!] Game Cover Inserts

THEPAIN73

So I had a question that I wanted to ask the G&T mods for approval but none of them are on right now.

I want to buy Link's Crossbow Training BUT I hate that cardboard cover it comes with.
(It's like Wii Sports)

I was wondering if there are sites out there of people who make game covers to fit blank DVD cases. And no I don't want just a picture in there, it has to look real, like tiny photos, cheesy slogans, parental ratings, all that jazz.

I found one for Wii Sports but the thing is I typed it into google images and it was sheer luck after that. Plus with it being so common I mean like this is perfect:

Is there any help at all for OCD people like me?

That was quick. Thanks.

I love the Cover Project. I'm a huge supporter of it. Submitted over 200 or 300 covers myself, personally.


In fact, if anyone would like, I can create a cover from source scans if provided to me.

I have a related question: I have the same issue with Link's Crossbow Training and Wii Sports, but it would be nice to have white dvd cases to put them in. Anyone have any ideas on how to get them without much hassle?

For those of you with the "New Play Control!" games, don't forget that the cover art is completely reversible.

You can order Wii game cases from Nintendo similar to how you can order the DS cases.

Me, I got a white case from CompUSA when a disc when missing from a case.

Maybe nintendo sells them?

What I have done though is that I've taken some movies that come in white dvd cases and switched out the cover inserts. Fortunately only a few games like Wii Sports and Link's CBT come without cases.

I go into Gamestop and just ask (they may give them for free).

All great ideas. I'll try them out. I wish my color printer worked for printing these inserts, but it's a real POS.

Kinko's is your friend.

I've worked with the Kinko's here in town several times, and at least in their case, they are not my friend. I haven't gotten a single job done right the first time from them. Maybe I'll try the color printers in the labs here on campus.

Haha, you guys would hate me. Yesterday I knocked over a big stack of games and had to use a coathanger to get them out from behind the entertainment center.

Hell, I just keep all of my games in a DVD case and usually end up throwing out most of my boxes, manuals and inserts.

I used to keep my PC games in a big CD Case Wallet thing. You know, with the cloth-like pages and the plastic clear sleeves, 4 to a page.

Then I realized over time that this arrangment puts tiny scuffs on the discs over time., Needless to say I stopped doing that.


But anyway, I developed the collector's OCD anyway, and now I have all of my games organized by generation and console and company, and each game in each collection is organized in alphabetical order. All of them have their cases and manuals. I ordered cases and created inserts for all of my PC games (DVD size), my Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy advance games (DS/GBA cases), I have cased/covered all of my N64 games, and I have cased and inserted my non-case-having Wii Sports and Link's CBT, and went through the effort to create a double-size NDS/GBA case for Wario Ware Twisted so that it too could sit neatly on its shelf.


It all looks fantastic and it's super easy to pick out a game to play. It's also easy to access the manuals when needed, and it keeps every game I own easily organized, accessible, and in excellent pristine condition.

Old as fuck photo, but here's what you too can do with The Cover Project:

Those are awesome. I wish I had the time, money, and drive to fix up my GBA and N64 games like that. Seriously, fuck Nintendo for not following Sega's lead and using plastic cases sooner.
