Introduction
Since the introduction of the Game Boy Color Only games, there has been one thing missing - Game Pak cases. Sure,
you could keep them in those little bags they provide, but who doesn't lose them in half an hour? Finally, Pride
USA and Nyko have come to our aid by releasing six-packs of Game Pak Cases.
Purpose & Features Of The Game Pak Cases
The main purpose of the cases is pure and simple. They help keep the Game Paks clean and protect them from damage.
The Pack contains six Game Pak cases. There was no choice in colors, but each pack
contained: 2 Clear Cases, 2 Purple Cases, 1 Blue Case and 1 Fluoro Yellow Case.
Using The Game Pak Cases
They're pretty simple to use. You just press the button on the bottom to open the case, put your Game Pak in it,
and then close the Case. When you want to get the game again, just press the button on the bottom to open the case
again. Difficult huh?
Pros Of The Game Pak Cases
They're exactly like the cases that used to be included with the games. They're very sturdy in design and they
do keep you carts clean and safe. The other good thing is that nearly all your games fit in these cases, the only
exception is the Game Paks with the rumble feature.
Cons Of The Game Pak Cases
I would have much preferred it if all the cases were clear. A Fluoro Yellow case can make the label on your Game
Pak rather weird looking. One other disadvantage would be that Games in cases do a take up a little more storage
space.
Final Comments
I still remember opening my first Game Boy Color Only game and finding no
case. It was one of the saddest days of my GBC gaming life (apart from buying Godzilla: The Series ;) ). This was
one accessory that I was hoping a company would some-day release. In my mind these are a must have. The only problem
is that the cost can rake up pretty quickly if you've gotten a lot of games without cases.
