I finally started to dig out my collection of games from the 1989-1998 era that have been in storage for the last ten years. I figured I was going to start cataloging it all and selling duplicates and stuff. I made some shelves in the room that i plan to keep them in, but it seems I'm going to run out of room anyways. I need it organized and am having a hard time doing it with the limited space.
Most of the games are simply games in jewel cases with inserts. Those I am ok with as i made shelves that fit those perfectly. However, I have maybe about 100 games in boxes in various conditions and stages of "decay" that i need to do something with. A lot of these games are on 5-1/4" or 3.5" floppies.
How do you store your games? And i don't mean "in a chest in my basement." Do you take them out of boxes, keep manuals somewhere else and flatten the boxes? I've had all my games in storage and i finally want to have them out but i have limited space. Ideally, i'd love some sort of plastic containers for 5-1/4" and 3.5" floppies in a shape similar to cd-cases. That way I could create labels for them and keep them along side normal cd-rom games. However that still creates the problem with the manuals and everything else that comes with all boxed games (especially the older games, some of those came with so much stuff it's unbelievable) that you can quickly reference when you decide to play a game.
I know this post is a little chaotic, but weekend is coming up and i though i might have some time to work on this. I'll post some pictures up as soon as i get it started.
