Refurbishing old games?

I recently bought a msx game (SD snatcher), but the plastic on the front of the game-box looks ugly, it's weathered/wrinkled and now the picture doesn't come out right at all. It looks bad, even though the paper/picture is in a very good state.

Does anyone have ideas on how to make it look better?

Greetings,

you call that "a" game? o_0 ?. it's "THE" game Tongue
Just send it to me and I'll make it look better. ANY software looks better in my possession hahah.

Congrats on the buy, sorry can't help you polishing the cover/box.

you could TRY a hairdryer on it

just not too hot else the plastic will shrink

Even if the hairdryer would work (which i'm not going to test on a SD-snatcher) I think it would probably be very temporary, I was thinking more along the lines of re-plastifing it or something...

I think the hairdryer could work (although I've never tried it), and would be a better sollution (IMHO). When you are going to (try to) re-plastify it, it loses it's originallity. That doesn't feel right to me...
But..... It is your game....

if done right, no one would even know it was replaced. Does it even matter, then?
