I've managed to get all my SMS and Sega CD games on shelves. The SMS games are double stacked and vertical (both of which I hate, but at least they're off the floor) and I had to re-arrange everything in my "valuable" display case and put the SCD games in there, and they just barely fit. And my PS2 shelves are full, so that's going to be a problem soon.
I think I'm going to make a "sacrifice" for the aesthetics of the room and lay the system boxes down instead of displaying the fronts of them, and then using that space for a couple more game shelves. And I think things like the Aura Interactor and extra N64 and SNES boxes are going to go away for a while. But that takes a lot of time, something I don't have right now, so it'll have to wait.

^At least you have a grasp on your collection. All my stuff is tucked into containers, boxes and such.

It sounded like a good cause so I decided to help him out by sending him PGR3 and Forza 2.
They aren't worth a huge amount now but I thought he would be able to make some use of them with something to get him started.
That's a very nice thing you did there James.

I might be getting an Atari 800 computer soon. Now I already have a number of Atari 8-bit computer games and an XEGS to play them on, but I was attracted by the 800's styling and so I decided to pick one up. Plus if I come across a game that's incompatible with my XEGS, then I'll just turn to the 800.

Yeah I guess that's true. But for someone who doesn't really play games a whole lot, if I can't display the games and enjoy them aesthetically, there's no point in having them at all. So when I first started collected I told myself that if I ever had to box stuff up just to have it, then there's no point in having it at all. That's the same reason I completely quit buying records and have contemplated selling my collection completely. I just ran out of room and I can't even get to them let alone listen to them.
And I think I managed to fix a majority of my space issues. I ended laying the system boxes down and stacking them on top of each for the most part, and now I'm going to add a row or two of shelves above the main TV (which was devoted to system boxes). I'm putting the PS2 games and maybe Sega CD and Saturn games there.

Finally got around to organizing my room/collection. There were about 2-3 months (probably at least 150-200 games and quite a few consoles) worth of stuff just lying on my floor. Now it is easier to find a game that I want, and it looks soooo much better. I'll try to take pics soon.

I spent about 2 hours a few days ago with a big bottle of Goof Off and cleaned off 1 360, 4 playstation, 4 xbox, and about 20 gamecube games of stickers, sticker residue or other gross things. Now they look incredible. I almost wish I took before and after pictures of a few of them, it really made a big difference.
When I get the drive to clean some stuff again i've got quite a few carts that need some polish now.

I think I've got my game storage problems under control (for now anyway) by building two new shelves and re-arranging the system boxes. Basically I had a wall of system boxes above the main TV, I took them all down, some I laid flat on one shelf, others I displayed upright and others I put in the closet. Then I put up two new shelves on top of what was holding the system boxes for my PS2, Saturn, and Sega CD games. Then put some random stuff on top of that. I think it turned out pretty good.
The "before" was essentially what is shown in my collection folder, just a different TV and a few more boxes.
The "after":[img width=700 height=524]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j22/Mike_2_0_0_6/DSCN0661-1.jpg[/img]
I didn't stain the shelves, but I plan to once the weather gets warm again, it's just too cold to do it now.
