is there a nice way of storing GBA games?

[brainerdrainer]

GBA carts are an odd shape and don't stack well. How do you guys organize your GBA games? I keep them in a small drawer but the lip at the top of the carts makes it impossible to keep the games lined up. Maybe I need to get cases for each game so they can stack up easier in rows.

This is a topic thats been brought up a few times before in some time or another.


The common suggestions are to either buy a bunch of DS game boxes and print out custom artwork for them from The Cover Project website, or to buy a binder for trading cards and use the card pockets to hold your game boy cartridges.

I personally use little utility boxes which are meant to hold screws, nails and stuff like that and have my cartridges all lined up in that. It's not expecially neat or pretty, but it keeps them in place at least.

Yeah I use little utility boxes as well, I might just try getting a clear plastic case for each one so it's easier to stack in a row without them falling over

Sorry for steering this conversation away from GBA and to Game Boy cartridges in general, but does this card pocket system work for original Game Boy and GBC carts, and could it also work for Neo Geo Pocket Color games when not in use?

I usually arrange them contact side down and in a row, and then when I look for a particular gba game I knock them all over the place.

Usually I just throw the entire mess of them into a ziplock bag and toss 'em in my Nintendo Chest.

I prefer to use old DS cases but my GBA collection is small so I can do that. I replaced the DS cases with replacement ones from Nintendo and used the original cases for my GBA games.

Sadly, I can't get the cover art properly sized. It's always a bit too small.

I wish I had a way to get cases for my Game Gear games

I like to keep them in the boxes they come in. Along with the manuals.

I use golf ball display cases. They hang on the wall, and they look damn sharp.

[brainerdrainer]

Oooo I like that golf ball display idea!

[Ack]

I can't tell from that image, but are those shelves level or slightly tilted to keep the golf balls (or in this case game cartridges) from falling over?

And where are you buying them from, because that looks snazzy.
