Best solution for storing n64 games?

[Anonymous No.10634997]

I've picked up an n64 and I'm starting to build my collection. Now, the problem is that I don't collect CiB cartidge games and I don't have a good way of storing all my games in a way that looks good.

What do you do? Storage solutions for other cart based consoles also welcome.

The cartridges were just packaging for the ROMs and are no longer needed.

You could get flash cart and be done with it, but then you'd face the reality of N64's library not being particularly fun to play in current year

Stop being an insufferable fetishist about it and get some real hobbies.

Never use a food bag like the one in OP picture, those are made to store things that go bad like food, the chemicals long turn will damage plastic at least in a aesthetic way, use plastic bags not made for food.

[Anonymous No.10635149]

They make these for most games. buy ones that are simpler to open, the ones with all the intersecting tabs are stupid.

[Anonymous No.10636069]

Basically what I want for N64 and most other cartridge type games is an acrylic stand like this (but made out of acrylic and not lego) that's sized out to fit on a DVD shelf.

I'm amazed no one's ever done this before

Loose N64 carts are a nuisance lined up on a shelf because there's no side labelling. You either have them lengthways can fit five carts on each shelf or lined up and have to randomly grab at identical-looking grey plastic to find a game. Then again, if we're talking about games actually worth owning and not collecting shit for the sake of it, you have like a one in ten chance of getting what you want.

[Anonymous No.10636264]

There is no good solution for N64 games due to the lack of end-labels. I know those DIY end-labels exist, but they look tacky as shit, might as well just write the names with a sharpie on the top directly.
Half the reason I bit the bullet and just got an everdrive 64 was because it was a pain in the ass sifting through my games trying to find the one I wanted.

Having CIB games doesn't mean you have to ALWAYS keep the games in the box. Otherwise it'd get kinda annoying whenever you wanna play a game and have to take it out of the box, put the other one back in its box, and so on.
