pmpddytim Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) How are you storing your 5200 games? I have around 35 and I'm looking for a good way to store them for easy browsing. Since most don't have end labels its hard to just grab the one you want, plus I just have them sitting on a shelf now and they get awful dusty. I would love to see what you guys are doing. -Tim Edited May 15, 2008 by pmpddytim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 They're just lined up in a drawer. The boxes are in a separate drawer, since I don't have too many and I don't like having to open a box to get the cart out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I've been using 5 1/2" disk cases for my 5200 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iratanam Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 All my loose carts are stacked up lying in a open box on my bedroom floor. I know I know, not good, but I'm pressed for space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickHarrisMaine Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I keep mine in clementine boxes. You know, those little wooden boxes they come in at the grocery store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My clementines come in big mesh sacks though. I do like the floppy disk holder. I may try to hunt down a big one like that. -Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I have a convenient plastic drawer I can store that Miner 2049er in for you. It'll get taken good care of, and I will be sure to "test" it every now and then to make sure it continues to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can store my Miner 2049er (picked up at a local thrift for $1 btw ) if I can borrow your Bounty bob Strikes back . Oh and I saw your "Atari games wanted" add on craigslist.........I'm watching you mister. -T Edited May 16, 2008 by pmpddytim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up on that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scihorror Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) I store my games in a VHS video cabinet I got from my in-laws when they were moving. The space on the shelves is the perfect size for boxed games and the racks on the doors perfectly fit loose ones.

cyberfluxor Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Here's one of the shelves, and so the CIBs are hanging out on shelf 2 from the bottom. And around the TV I have the loose 5200 carts just hanging on the top. They're easier to just pick up and swap. Over the last few years my CRTs have been dying so I'm down to the last one. Once I move out and get things settled I'll get some new TVs but til then it's not in the budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
