sup /vr/
In the last few months I've been slowly growing my collection of cartridge games. Namely NES, Famicom and Genesis. I'd like to find a better way to store than then just keeping them all stacked on my bookshelf. Anyone know of any good cabinets or storage totes that work and don't just look like Tupperware containers?

something similar to this but easier to come by?

>> No.3149196

I'm interested in a similar solution. Mainly for NES, SNES, and Genesis. The majority of Genesis carts don't have cases

CD/media storage boxes are just about the right size for most cartridges. They usually come with lids or without.

Just grab some carts and take them with you to the store to try stuff out. My local Target had a bunch of different stuff. Maybe try office supply stores as well.

I'm in the same place with my Mega Drive cartridges. At the moment I just keep them in a cardboard box that so far is fit to size pretty well, but I'd like to get something classier than cardboard.

op here: well i'll be dammed.

both genesis and famicom carts have the same height*/width/depth as a casette tape.

*exclusing some of the freakish tall carts. but you get me.

look for audio casette storage systems. i think that's the ticket boys.

I have some of my Famicom (and MSX and MD) carts in plastic cassette tape towers at the moment.

For NES games you could try and find some official storage. For example one of these carry cases will hold 16 games.

OP here one more time. So i went out thrifting today and walked by almost identically the storage drawer that's in my image ref.

Im sure they aren't super rare but it surprised me anyway. Cool huh?

I was actually going to say this when I saw this thread. Recently picked up a little suitcase for my cassette tapes and I'm in between wanting to use it for those or my Genesis games.

Yeah, I have some of those as well. I inherited them. I think there was a WalMart sticker somewhere on it, so I'm guessing that variety was likely sold at WalMarts during the 90s.

The biggest problem are those games without any ways of identifying unless you take them out.

just get a pack of 10x adhesive A4 sheets, perhaps those precuts, and just write the names, you could print for easier eye-scan of inventory, and even add a clipart or icon representing the game,

the font color represents the genre, keep them alphabetically organized, and that's it folks

a gallon size zip-loc bag. Even has a little spot to put a label on it.

One bag for RPGs
Another bag for sidescrollers
Another bag for favorites
Another bag for etc
They all fit nice and neat into a cardboard box that slides out from under my bed when needed

Ive got some old floppy disk drawers that I stick atari 2600 games in, they fit like a glove.
