Atari 2600/7800. Any chance for complete cartridges? or is this strictly cases?

breakage prone? I have never ever seen a broken Atari Cart.

The clear ones a while back were cool, but somebody said, a unique cart would eliminate the knockoffs on ebay, assuming they were not for sale empty...

Hey Curt,

Are you still planning on designing and releasing a new cartridge shell? If so whats the time frame on it and what is the projected cost?

THanks

Would it be at all possible to have something like an old-style cart shell, sans springs and cover, but an option to have an end-user purchase separate springs and cover to install that good stuff themselves?

I second (10th? 20th?) the no slots under the label. I hate those. the original 2600 carts were the best...

Finally New Cart cases!! :)
Absolutely I voted for Atari 2600/7800 cart cases, thanks.

I love the work of Mr.Vendel, the Atari Flashback 2 is fantastic and now there is the 7800 Expansion Module!
The New Cart cases can also be used for homebrew games 2600?? :D

Right now I see this 3600 / 7800 cartridge prototype on eBay,
perhaps it is useful for this project?
