The RetroBook Project: Phase I

[Kelekin]

A bit long - but please read =)

Today I had a meeting with the makers of SteelBook over an idea I have had for quite some time, and it sounds like the project is happening. Thus, the RetroBook Project was born.

So the RetroBook Project is simple - we will be taking old titles, starting with NES, and producing limited edition Steelbooks. Currently, we are seeing if we can get a minimum order quantity of 1000, to make this -extremely- exclusive, but some of their facilities require at least 4000. We will do our best to get that down. Every Steelbook will contain a certificate of authenticity, and numbered. Once a steelbook production has run, it will -never- be printed again. I believe Steelbooks are simply beautiful and it will be an absolute joy to see a new way to display some of the best titles of our time, at a time when the best packaging you could get was cardboard (and usually unattractive at that).

So while we are working out the kinks as far as sizing goes with Steelbook, they will either be DVD or Blu-Ray shaped but with more width, a width similar to an actual NES, SNES, or N64 box.

To me, this is a community-driven project. I plan to sell these within the collector communities, instead of creating some big website for such a project, as we are not here to infringe on IP, we are just here to provide a beautiful new solution for the collector. All the artwork will be done through submission competitions, with those artists getting free steelbooks and their name directly on the certificate.

The first question that I am asking from you, is what the iconic first NES title should be for this project. I am looking for general suggestions, and then in Phase I Part 2 I will post a poll of the most requested titles. Secondly, if you are quite interested in having these steelbooks, please let me know on here. Early feedback is much appreciated.

***Additional Note that I forgot to mention: I will be more than willing to ship these internationally and will look at the cost to do so.***
