Moved to a new web site! More Info!

I started this little free blog to see if there would be any interest in finding out about our games.  We now have almost 200+ people visiting the site per week, so we've invested our time in a new web site so check it out:  http://blog.gamecaseworld.com  
True, I like the interface here at Blogspot better and it's easier to toss images up on, but we needed a  more robust platform to post pages and additional information. 

Some of the new items I have posted:
  • Photos of the Sega cases (and the cases page)
    Photo of manual in cases (still working on more of those)
  • More about having custom graphic design commissioned (for a reasonable price I might add).
  • Contact information including address, phone number and even Google Chat
  • More photos of EVERYTHING (whew that's a lot of work)
  • What kind of paper we use and printing process etc. etc.! 

As of writing this, Christmas 2011, we are working on:
Adding a bunch of N64 and  a page about them
Adding more SNES to the web site (70+)
Offering blank cases for sell in the amount of 10 per box

A lot of the content comes from people like you sending us inquiries and asking really good questions that prompt me to build a page full of photos about it. 

So whether it's Christmas where you are or mid summer when you read this...please check us out at http://blog.gamecaseworld.com

Virtual Boy, and our Virtual Boy Game Cases

This last summer we had the good fortune of picking up a Virtual Boy and some games at a sale.  Here is a summary of what a Virtual Boy is...

Virtual Boy was a video game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo and released in 1995 for $180.00 in the US. It was the first video game console that was supposed to be capable of displaying "true 3D graphics" out of the box.  Only 14 games were ever released for the North American market.  The Virtual Boy, despite price drops was considered a failure.  The 3D graphics were impressive but monochromatic. Nintendo was working on the N64 at the time of the Virtual Boy's release.

 The Virtual Boy was infamous for what could be an urban legend - that it caused migraines, nausea and even, some have claimed, permanent injury.  Although I couldn't find confirmation whether this was true or not (although I've been personally told that after about five minutes a rather nasty headache ensues...) I found this quote that would logically support the idea this might not be the best head set to wear....
Nausea can and will occur in people using VR headsets because the information received from the eyes doesn't match the information received from the balancing organs in the ears. Balance is kept using both optical and gnostic information. -- source
 We have 14 covers for the original Virtual Boy Games in our shop.  They are basically Nintendo GBA cases but the clips hold the slender games.  They also line up nicely along other Nintendo games like the GBA, GBA Color etc.
