bookpile Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Stupid question, but do you alphabitize them? Line them up by company? By Colors or by your favorite games? Anybody have some great ways of storing them besides my drawer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I store mine alpha-by-manufacturer in Sterilite bins I get at Wal-Mart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsbucs Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I have a fire proof safe for my really expensive games(music machine,etc....) but my others go in my closet in no particular order. Most of my higher rarity games 7-10 go in the safe...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I put similar games together. All Space Invader type games go next to each other, and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I have three or four major categories for Atari: manufacturer, label variation, rarity and homebrew. In most cases I simply sort by manufacturer and label alphabetically, but the homebrews and LVARS I seperate out as well as "trophy games" I want to do something special with.

Mr.FoodMonster Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 i have a loose way of doing so, i have these boxes that hold 2 12-packs of beer in a bottle and it fits quite a number of games, and i live right near a party store so i can pick them up whenever id like. now, how i do them usaly dosnt work out because at the moment i need another box, but i do it by company only. i have a box full of atari, one with sears, activsion and others.

rockman_x_2002 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I usually just store by alphabet (and I organize 2600 and 7800 games together as well, since they're the same cart size), since I have a smaller collection. Just makes finding the game I'm looking for that much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osbo Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I had my carts in plastic bins you can get at Walmart by manufacturer. Same with my systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheldon Sims Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Mine are arranged alphabetically in basic stack baskets from The Container Store. The baskets are stacked right next to my Atari, so I can play my games any time I want. http://www.thecontainerstore.com/browse/Pr...67287&CATID=166 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashnooga Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 most of my games are kinda dirty cause i got them from an awesome dirty flea market... so yeah, they are all in a drawer... that was worth a post wasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khryssun Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 lost games are arranged alphabetically in a box. Atari Inbox games are arranged by rainbow color box range (just like on the magazines pubs) on shelves. Silver ones are appart and other company too in no special order.

Keir Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I recently succumbed to the alpha by manufacturer sorting method. I used to be strictly alphabetical, but they just look better this way. I even separate my red and silver Atari boxes from the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
