I loved that cassette case idea, and tried to suggest that we start using those instead of DS cases simply because it'll be easier to get them long after those DS cases are no longer available, but it never really caught on.

(oh when I said DS cases I meant storing them with a complete DS game, not buying an empty case for a GBA game 8) )

But anyway, that cassette idea is brilliant!!!

Seems as though you can get a large amount of DS cases for super cheap and they will look good with GBA, GB, and GBC. Hope this helps.

That's awesome 8)
I don't have access the that many cassette cases, unfortunately, but would have collected them for such a purpose if I had thought about it several years ago (although, I'm probably too lazy to print out those inserts).

I may try the Golf Case idea sometime and I already do the card pages for GB/GBC games ...and really wish Game Gear games fit in those pages, but hey, golf ball case :wink: , I like my Sega games on display anyhow.

That said, I have accumulated several Game Gear plastic cases over the years, so I store most of my GBA games in those (they fit 2 to a case, so I like to group sequels and similar games together). If I find another option for GG games (golf case), I'll be set for all games and more.

The binder idea has always tempted me, but I've never gotten around to it.

I used to have an official GBA SP faux-leather satchel thing that I stored all my games in, but the seams burst after a while (likely from too many games) and I now just have all my games in two large ziploc freezer bags. It ain't pretty, but it geets the job done. I rarely bust out those carts anymore anyhow. Eventually I'll get my official leather bag fixed.

Binders and the binder trading card pages. That's what I use for my Game Boy, GBC, GBA, and NGPC games. They protect them from sunlight and dust. It's a great space-saver. And it makes it easy to flip through your collection.

Oh, I actually do that with quite a few of mine as well. Like Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow is in with Dawn of Sorrow, Super Mario World is in with New Super Mario Bros., and when I open my DS copy of Final Fantasy IV, I know where the GBA cart will rest.

Just a heads up to you guys, when this was posted I was super stoked on it, went to buy them, but noticed it said they don't fit GBA carts, even though the clip is clearly there. Sent a message to the seller, and apparently these aren't properly sized for some reason, so they don't actually close when you have a GBA cart in them. So basically, super janky. Unfortunately it explains the price, because that's a pretty damn good deal.
