Hello all! Today I managed to find a boxed U.S. copy of Jumping Flash! which I’ve had my eye on for some time. I’ve done the most basic of restoration work to the case (a light scrub with some goo-gone and a careful dabbing) but there are some issues with the case still. The interior is all fine, it’s just the exterior. Honestly, it’s in rather remarkable shape given its age and it clearly not being taken the best of care of. Any recommendations on the best glue to restick the side and top pieces? Anything I can do to fix the damage on the front that is photographed? Any suggestions are appreciated!

Can't really advise on glue, but if you want something like a saturn case, replacements for those are still sold online.
 
I would first suggest looking for other's input on this, but you could for glue always try mixing elmer's glue 1:1 with water. I used to use this for book binding back in the day, and it was fairly good at not destroying things. Please experiment on other things first though like other pieces of cardboard or old magazines to see if it's going to behave how you want. As for the cover damages, no clue.
