Storing Famicom Games

[ProjectCamaro]

How does everyone store their Famicom games? I just bought a bunch of them and am looking for ideas.

I hate loose cartridges and store everything currently utilized the universal games cases and TheCoverProject.net. Unfortunately they don't have a Famicom section and when I searched their forum there are very few covers made. I was wondering if there was something else other people used and I was also wondering if there dust covers made for them or anything like that. My searching has not pulled up anything yet.

Thanks!

I know Namco's Famicom games came in hard cases but finding them is hard and they still won't have the right cover art for non-Namco games.

I also know they had these cases (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NINTENDO-Super-Famicom-Cartridge-Clear-Case-Super-Mario-World-JAPAN-JP-/121324351977?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c3f7eb1e9) but for prices like that you there's no way I'm going to even consider them.

Cover Project includes Famicom covers under the NES section. Many games have a custom Japanese Famicom cover available. You can also use their templates and make your own covers.

I am in the same predicament there bud.

I have about 6 Namco games or so in case and about 6 or so famicom games in the cardboard style boxes, but a lot of the stuff I find is loose. If you want, I can at least try to take scans or high res pics of the Namco ones if you have any.

Some of the stuff that I can find from being uploaded already seeing as how I am at work..

Hard Box Versions
Dragon Buster 2
Dragon Slayer 4 : Drasle Family
Hydlide (or something like that)
Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Story
Dokugan Masamune

Some of the cardboard stuff with pictures,

Final Fantasy 1 - 3 (http://zerohpdamn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ff13-920x690.jpg)

Super Mario Bros (http://zerohpdamn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/mario1.jpg)

Ys I and II (http://zerohpdamn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Ys14.jpg)


I am looking for a solution for my loose stuff as well and I know what a pain it is. Let me know if there is anything I can help with.

Sega Genesis cases are awesome for storing famicom games.

for loose carts I just put them in resealable megadrive/n64 baggies... but I don't really care about my loose carts that much in terms of looks/collectability. They're just for playing.

here's a pirate cart I put in a resealable baggy. it's a snap to put them in take them out... mainly to just prevent normal shelf wear, etc.

I think Famicom Loose game look fine by themselves. I just have all mine lined up on the shelf, looks cool with all the different colors mixed together.

I remember something about loose famicom games fitting well into the 8 track organizers....

I think it was 8 track...

I have Final Fantasy II with the box cut to fit a Namco case. (it came to me that way)
There's a lot of cheap donors, mostly sports games.
I remember a few years ago I got a mint-looking Side Pocket for like $5.

I've seen some games up for sale that were like that... boxes cut and put into Namcot or Sunsoft mini clamshells. Makes me shudder...

[SparTonberry]

Taito did that as well for several of their mid-generation games, though I don't think they were as good as Namco's.
(the final clamshell was a bit better, but it was only used on their final three games, which are now quite valuable.)

That's where I am on it, though of the small selection there currently a majority of them are black. Armadillo, Star Wars and Dragon Buster stand out well as does my purple Golden 260-in-1.

I think that's what I'm going to end up doing. I prefer not to have loose cartridges if for any other reason to help keep my collection looking uniform (I don't have any other loose cartridges in my collection) but I'm pretty sure I can get over it.
