I am storing my NES, SNES, and PSone games in an underbed drawer. Whenever I pull open the drawer, the games topple over inside. I need something to hold them upright.
Anyone else solve this problem or have ideas? I'm looking for a cheap solution. I was thinking bookends of some sort, but I'm not sure where to find inexpensive ones.
"Bookends" to hold games upright?

I actually plan to do the same thing, as I want to keep some games upright on top of a bookshelf.
You could use some sturdy and heavy game related items. Right now I am using an Ys III Collector's Edition as a bookend. James Rolfe has a vid where he shows off his bookends - two Intellivoice Voice Synthesis Modules.

Just get more games to pack the drawer all the way.Zing wrote:I am storing my NES, SNES, and PSone games in an underbed drawer. Whenever I pull open the drawer, the games topple over inside. I need something to hold them upright.

I used the Argonath bookends from the LOTR Extended Edition for my boxed Atari games for awhile. But like Bone, I now use special editions or random game memorabilia now.

On the first iteration of my shelves I just used some cheap metal bookends (small piece of metal bent into a bookend shape).

Maybe I'll look at the dollar store for metal bookends.

If it's in a drawer and you don't care much for looks, just hit up a hardware store for cheap brackets.
Otherwise you can check out Staples/Office Depot type places. I have a bunch from there that come in multi packs for fairly cheap.

If you're on a budget (but have plenty of games) make a vertical stack of lesser played titles as bookends for your horizontally aligned? I've also bleached stones/bricks and used those.

If you do a rotated stacking pattern, you won't even need bookends.Zing wrote: I'm not sure where to find inexpensive ones.
