Is 75 or 76 degrees a safe temperature to store both classic and new systems and games? The room where I keep my collection gets to those temperatures and I've been worrying for a while if that is too warm for them? Also, are those temperatures okay for playing them in, especially the newer systems that get hot? I would appreciate any help!

Your talking Celsius right? That's pretty hot(167F). Many things will probally survive but if any games have batteries you can expect a speedy death. Caps might also start to leak at that temp.

I am talking Fahrenheit.

Oh, well...considering that 76°F is in the room temperature range and most electronics will run hotter than that anyways, I'd say your safe.
I thought you were talking about storing them in an attic on a hot summer day or something.
