Greetings. I have four consoles that play cartridges, and I'm looking for a method to keep them organized and/or displayed nicely (right now, everything's in a cardboard box.) Any suggestions? Thanks.

Maybe something like this 3 tier storage container I have? It is big enough to hold around 70 or 80 NES cartridges on one tier if I remember correctly. Of course now I just use it for storage of miscellaneous items Wink

What types of games do you own? Knowing that can also be a big help in knowing what is best suited.

I use one of those storage containers. I have like a wicker basket I use for my controllers and junk and once I clean the junk one out, I'm going to put my carts in that.

Can wood effect a cart?

Either what Cap'n showed or these bins which I bought from Target. This is an old picture, now I have 6 towers full of NES games. The drawers are great and very affordable.

you could fit 5 times as many games on those shelves if you didn't waste so much space with all those useless boxes.

I have enough junk I dont need more. If I collected loose games I would have 5 times the stuff I have now. I have passed on more stuff then I have bought. Granted I would take all that junk but it has to have the box and manual. Well at least the box.

What looks better the shelves I have or 4 rows of black carts? To me it is all the boxes.

it takes too long to open the boxes to get the games out. it's much more time efficient to just have the carts on the shelves. the same goes for CD games. plus when you are not playing the game they make nice drink coasters.
