Ugh, after whuring it out on Ebay I've got myself a little collection.

I'm now up to around 100 or so CD Jewel Cased games and 120+ games that are just the CDs (guess people were lazy with keeping the boxes and/or too cheap to ship the original boxes 🙁 f'n non purists!!!).

Anyway, my system so far is something along the lines of:

A) If it's in floppy form, just keep it in the box (i.e. Xwing/Sierra Award Winners).
B) If it's in CD form with a CD Jewel that has the name/etc on it, leave it that way and put it in a CD Jewel Case Carrier (the big black box under the Case Logic, it's full obviously as I have all those stacks in front of it 🙁 )
C) If it's in CD form w/o a CD Jewel, just put it in the Case Logic case (which is almost full)

Oh and I've got another 2 or so gray boxes full of original game boxes, but they're just taking up too much room so they're in the attic.

In a perfect world I'd have every single game box in pristine condition and they'd be displayed in their own custom made full wall shelves.

But back to reality. So.... what's your opions? Just take ALL the CDs out of the jewel cases and throw em in a Case Logic? I HATE how multiple CD games are contained in those bulky 2+ cd cases, makes it a PITA since they don't fit a regular cd jewel case.. OR I could print up some dummy/copy of the orginal jewel case inserts and throw all my CDs into jewels?

hmmmm hmmmm

All my CD based games are in CaseLogic cases. I have 2 250CD Caselogic cases full to the brim.

I barely ever touch those though unless I put new games in them because I have all of those games as images on my external enclosures.

I store all of my CD keys in an excel spreadsheet and print out a hardcopy and stick that with the caselogic cases just in case. I'm up to about 70+ CD keys now.

All of my floppy games I simply images and put on my external enclosure along with all of my downloaded games. The original floppies I just use as extra floppy disks if I ever need them.

I stuck all of the paperwork that came with each game in a big plastic bin but it's really starting to annoy me. I'm thinking about finding electronic versions of all of those manuals and then start throwing them out. I've prenty much never had to look at 'em.

I never sell my games so I don't care about thowing away the boxes/manuals.

I bought PainKiller Gold the other day (God what a boring game!), it game on 6 Frickin CD's! 6!!!!!!

Have you looked on replacementdocs?
