Moving to Whatever forum.

We need details, man. What kinds of games are they? Are they carts or discs? Are you trying to preserve supplements like manual and maps?

If it's discs then there is a site called BRE Software on ebay that sells extra protective cases for PS2, Xbox, GCN and newer systems...

A small airtight safe... But chances are the safe is worth more than the game.

Think of your collection like you would a book archive or something. Storing your media like a book, straight up and down, not slanted, stored usually with others in a tight fashion. This is not to say that they should be squeezed, just tight enough not to fall over or be crooked. Cartridges are meant to be stored vertically and so are cases. Discs might do slightly better over a century laying flat, but the difference will be negligible. Keep them out of direct sunlight. That's really all you need to do.
