Is there any risk putting Genesis games on their side?

I know the manuals get bent after long periods of time for Sega CD/ Saturn games, but what about Genny manuals?

Thanks :)

I've seen a warped manual here and there, which I believe might've been caused by gravity. So that's a good question. Here's a real genius-grade answer. Put them so their title cover (the side that has the manual on it, you know) is facing DOWN.

Reasoning: The manuals are held in place by essentially two tabs, plus those four little bits that can dig into the manual (but in my experience that happens only when they're shoved back into the game).

Damn right it's Genius.... I didn't even think about that :embarrassed:

Thanks for the help!

Yay! I used my little gray cells for once and look what happens! :D

Glad to be of help.

I should go do that with the games I've got lying down in boxes. Some I have so the spine sticks up, and I'm not really worried about those...

I just keep the manuals out of the box in plastic archive bags. Normally not one to care about booklets in the first place, but when they're already minty I don't see the need to threaten them with wear and tear everytime I go to play the game and open the case.

I considered that which runs into another question. Has anyone ever used those 2 per sheet baseball card pages for bigger manuals like SNES,64 and Genesis? Do they fit well?

Baseball cards are much smaller...I'm not sure which type of sleeve you mean, but so far I haven't found one of the right size (I was looking for some slide/Japanese FDS game flyer-sized sheets a while back; sort of found both).

At the bottom right :)
