A few new cassette cases made for customer requests this week:

- Power Pro Kun Pocket: A really fun baseball game with surprisingly addictive gameplay. Too bad it was only released in Japan.
- Grand Theft Auto (GBC) – The original PlayStation GTA, surprisingly ported to the Game Boy Color.
- Final Fantasy Tactics A2

I’m still accepting requests for games that don’t have a cassette case design yet.

If you’re looking for a case for your favorite game, feel free to browse the currently available designs here: https://retroboxbypat.com/

Rebelstar: Tactical Command

This game has been sitting in my personal collection gathering dust for quite a while, so I only just got around to designing a cassette case for it.

I still remember back in elementary school, I used to watch my teacher play a game on MS-DOS during breaks. In this game, you commanded a squad of soldiers in turn-based battles against aliens. What fascinated me most was that between missions you could build and expand bases around the world, as well as deploy your soldiers to different operations.

Around 2006, I happened to come across Rebelstar: Tactical Command on the GBA. It had a very similar style of gameplay, leading a squad through turn-based battles but without the base-building mechanics.

It wasn’t until 2015, when I played XCOM: Enemy Unknown, that the familiar feeling finally clicked. After doing a bit of research, I discovered that the game I had watched all those years ago was actually UFO: Enemy Unknown.

The interesting part is that Julian Gollop, the creator of UFO: Enemy Unknown, also created Rebelstar: Tactical Command. No wonder the two games share so many gameplay ideas and themes. Although the modern XCOM games are remakes developed by a different team, Julian Gollop is still widely recognized as the creator of one of the most influential turn-based tactical game series ever made.

If you’re a fan of the XCOM series, I definitely recommend giving Rebelstar: Tactical Command a try on the GBA. It’s a great game, although the GBA’s hardware limitations do show. The enemy AI isn’t particularly smart, and character movement can feel quite slow at times.

Breath of Fire (GBA)

I still remember that back around 2005, my friends used to call this game "Hơi Thở Của Rồng" (which means “Breath of the Dragon") instead of “Breath of Fire.” Honestly, the first name sounded more fitting to us since the main character belongs to the Dragon Clan. Because of that, I even thought it was a game adaptation of the popular manga Flame of Recca 🤡

I was obsessed with Flame of Recca at the time, so I made it my mission to find a game CD with the ROM. Back then, the internet wasn’t easy to access (as the matter of fact, my home was using dial-up Internet at that time); and I usually bought CDs packed with game ROMs instead. After spending days visiting different CD shops, I finally got my hands on one that included Breath of Fire.

But reality hit hard. There was no Recca to be found—just an RPG with graphics that looked pretty rough (especially compared to games like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Kingdom Hearts or Mega Man Battle Network) and what felt like endless random battles. 🤣

If you still have a copy of this game, feel free to check out the custom cassette case I designed for it.

Hello everyone,

I’ve been working on a new product for a while now. It’s not meant to replace the current custom cassette cases, but rather to offer a more affordable storage solution for collectors with lots of loose cartridges.

I’d like to introduce the Cartridge Storage Book.

- The cover is 3D printed and receives additional surface finishing and paint to reduce visible print lines and give it a smoother, cleaner look.
- The logo on the cover can be custom 3D printed upon request.
- At the moment, trays are available for GBA, NDS, and 3DS cartridges. As shown in the video, a single book can hold both GBA and NDS/3DS games by swapping the trays.
- This week I’ll also be adding a tray for Switch cartridges, so one book will be able to store GBA, NDS, 3DS, and Switch games together.

I’m planning to add the Cartridge Storage Book to the online store within the next two weeks. I’ll share more details once it’s ready.

P.S. A big thank you to my friends for lending me their cartridges for testing and the demo.

Final Fantasy VI Advance
Despite its pixel graphics, FF VI is still considered one of the greatest Final Fantasy games ever made and one of the finest JRPGs of all time.
If you have a loose FF VI cartridge sitting on your shelf, feel free to check out the custom cassette case I made for this game at https://retroboxbypat.com/product/final-fantasy-vi-advance/
