All my Gameboy games. I have to unzip this to see it, not the greatest way to store them. And why yes I did have a PINK gameboy :D

Eh. I'd say if you have one and they have them then pick one up. While it is an outlet, they tend to keep basic AV stuff at most (at least at the ones I've seen across several states). Amazon has them also for cheap (retail is $15 here where I live) but I'm impatient on shipping.

I can't say much on wire organization unless you do a full reorganization. Sadly, I did and it took forever but it looked wonderful...and then my died a week later. I have to do it again since I got the flat screen and it only has one Composite port and had to buy two more switches. Hell, I still don't have the PS2 hooked up.

Not everything has to be rare or grandiose. The few items I saw looked impressive. I know I don't have that many Gameboy games or Game Gear games and you have more PS1 games than I do (and I confused for Longbox games which I know I don't have)

not when it comes to games, girl!

You do have nice things.

One thing you can do to at least store your gameboy/gamegear games is to get a card box.

Those longish boxes where you put your baseball/football/sports cards. They come in different sizes. and they have little flaps to close better. They're an okay size for them.


There are other people's threads here where they display their stuff and they've solved many of their issues. Not all mind you but enough to make their room presentable.

Many have made their own shelves others have used existing shelves from old stores. Others buy their own cabinets. I've even seem some cinderblock shelves!

But as long as you're happy with what you have, show it off!
