us Omega Neo-Geo MVS cartridge shells

Omega Neo-Geo MVS cartridge shellsWe knew the shockboxes, nice plastic cases to replace the cardboard boxes of MVS cartridges. Arcade Works goes further by proposing to replace the plastic shell of MVS cartridges with a more practical and aesthetic model. This one is similar to the model used for the Neo-Geo cartridges. Like them, it features a square sticker with an artwork of the game covering the edge and one face of the cart (prettier than the original monochrome strip). The shell is designed in such a way that you do not damage the sticker when opening it. It retains the dimensions of the original MVS cartridge, which allows it to fit in a shockbox. Arcade Works uses crowd-funding via Kickstarter to launch the manufacture of these "Omega" shells in the United States. The "pre-sale" price is $15 for a black shell (sticker printing included) and $135 for 10 units (shipping excluded). Other colours are planned for the future (clear, red, green, blue, ...). It is not certain that this project will succeed because there's only three days left to reach the $22,500 amount needed to start manufacturing. Only $3,213 was collected so far. So if you're interested, it's time to place your order and spread the word!
