Tempest Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I know this has been asked before, but I'll be darned if I can find the thread so I'll ask the question again. How do you store your Atari 8-bit cartridges? Right now I'm using something like this plastic storage drawer system that Al recommends, but it's smaller and its hard to get at the carts in the back. Is there a better solution for storing carts? I've got over 100 of them, so it would have to be something that held a lot of carts.

littleman jack Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I use some plastic tubs from Target. They are about 14 in. by 11 in. and are clear, but have blue removable tops. They have yellow handles on the blue tops. You can fit about 40 2600 carts per container, so I imagine you could fit about 50 8-bit cartridges. Two may be all you need, and they stack nicely.

jdh Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I have about 200 carts, the loose ones I store in 2 large plastic cartons in individual small plastic bags. No order to them really, I don't know what game is in what box. Usually the game I want to play is at the bottom of the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross PK Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I just have mine in 2 rows stacked on top of each other on a shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 You could always re-buy them CIB and store them on shelves, alphabetically. That's how I store mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I have some of the modular cartridge holders that came out years ago... gleemed from a collection that I picked up from someone. Those were the type that interlock. Naturally I only have slots for like 12 cartridges, so I tend to keep only my favorites out for immediate access, and the rest are in a box... somewhere.

Still undecided about which route to take, although Albert's method might be the most practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross PK Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) I've just re-arranged mine, and my tapes, to make more space. This is how I'm storing them, When I get more carts I'll just stack them the same way but on top of the two rows, sure, it makes the carts hard to get too, but I really was cramped for space.

+bf2k+ Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Mine are stored in heavy-duty shoe boxes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
