Not the most interesting poll in the world but I was wondering how most of you order the homebrews that you buy from AA, if you like to customize your carts or if you just go with the standard recycled carts.

One of the little pokey thingies on my 7800 cartridge guide is broken, so the newer style shells are more convenient than the trapdoor style.

I don't like paying extra for a colored case. The recycled work fine for me. Of course, some games, like Seawolf in a blue case, are pretty cool in a colored cases.
How about a Hack of Strawberry Shortcake with the newly designed Characters in a pink case? For my daughters. Really.

I usually buy them in recycled cases, because I'm cheap. Every once in a while I get a colored case.

It depends on the color of the label. My copy of Fall Down looks sharp in an all red case. In general I prefer a recycled shell though. I just like the look of the black shells.

Recycled shells cleaned properly are good. I like the colored ones but they tend to get pricey at times.

I like the original shells for the authentic look and nostalgia factor, but I have bought coloured shells as well.

I like either - depending on how they look with the label. I do like the fact that new carts are being manufactured though. It adds a little extra "cool" factor, rather than just sticking a brand new game in an old Pac-Man cart.
Personally, I'm still hoping for green carts someday.

That would be perfect for a Pac game.
