Have you considered one of these for the loose carts?

The loose carts fit perfectly in these tape storage bins.

That's what I use. It's great for Master System carts too.

I'm considering something along those lines. My only worry is EA carts and stuff.

I'm thinking I might go for something like this. If i can find one in the right size i should be able to integrate it into my shelf well.

Yeah, I never figured it out either. I guess we should cut them some slack since the previous month was Zelda II with mannequins.

I always thought it was the rosary? Isn't Ryu Catholic?

Yeah, those bins really don't work for the EA carts.

I did consider using those wall-mounted racks myself at one point. They're a nice little way to display the games, but I don't see them that often and I've got limited wall space, so I decided to stick to the bins. The EA carts (and the game genie and 32X carts) just get put in a separate pile unless I've got a case for them.

I find them all the time at thrift stores. No one really uses cassette tapes anymore, so they're dirt cheap. I think the most I spent on one was $3.

Check Craigslist/Ebay. I still use them for cassettes, so their definitely out there. Plus, hipsters.

I have one of those and I just put my EA games on the bottom row (well, not anymore I got rid of all my Genesis games). But yeah, I don't recall 32x games fitting in the slots. I'd send mine to you, AppleQueso but I'm not even sure if I still have it and shipping would be a bitch. haha
