The RetroBook Project: Phase I

[gurpswoo1]

Great idea, Thanks for allowing input.

The large portion of the steelbook community seems to prefer G2 sized steelbooks,

But in this case I think G1 is the only choice, the instruction manual is a must in my opinion. therefore G2 is not a feasible option.

In terms of finish, is there any chance of embossed text or finish to artwork.

Also make sure that the cart fits with or without the black sleeve.

I think also that NES manuals were quite thick compared to todays manuals.

I have ideas on how to make it unquie but they are out there:

One piece of merchandise that was released with the early big games were soundtracks CD. One option could be to incorporate a CD slot for these soundtracks.

what about using UV reactive paint, great effect under the right light. or maybe on inside artwork instead.

One of biggest problems with steelbooks is ensuring the paint does not get marked, any chance for improved coatings.

Some part of world have high humidity, could there be a place to put a moisture absorbing packs.

The same with dust, maybe incorporates a dust protector for slot if the game doesn't have a sleeve.

In terms of which game to use, there are so many I would be happy with.

Mario bros
Zelda
Battletoads
Castlevania 3
Final Fantasy
Metal Gear
