The Good.... The Bad.... The Sothy.

The Good-

My video game collection has grown so big in the last year I really cant find room for it all!

The Bad-

I seriously can't find room for it all.
I am running out of room in my room for anything :(
It's not like I can go out and buy a new house or anything (most 14 year olds can't).
I'm about to start getting rid of my the non needed shit like my GTA Vice City stand up display!
LoL it's Got so bad I had to get rid of my old bed and replace it with a futon!

The Sothy-

You rock :P

Ah yes, I remember those years at home. I can certainly relate to your space issues. One tiny bedroom, so many games.

My "safety valve" was the attic. Though it was also rather cluttered with family junk, I cleared out a block of space for myself, boxed up the stuff I don't use very often or at all, and stashed it in that space. I would go through a rotation like this every few months. Before I knew it, it was time to move out and at last there was a nice big space to keep everything!

Until a few years later, when I ran out of room there too. :/

Well...I have the same problem...game space is at a premium and my collection keeps growing...... my apt. is too small for it ;)

I for one can't wait until I move into a new pad next summer. I am soooo sqeazed for space. I have games literally piled to my ceiling. The one or two inch space behind the dresser's and desk is used. All space in the closet is completely full and under the bed is full. And then there is the garage... :o

You know, no matter how much space you have, it's never enough. You start looking for more stuff to collect. After I booted my tenant last year, I had an entire bedroom to work with. I put shelves up on every bit of wall space, and began dutifully unpacking my stuff. I'd had everything in a 10x30 storage unit for 4 years and forgotten how much I had until the last bit of shelf was filled up. What to do with the rest?

It's a sickness, yes, but it's fun seeing how many videogame items you can pack into a space :)

Micheal, there's nothing wrong with a futon actually- long as it's not the wooden ones (had a wooden one and had to put it up and down ever day. Fell apart about a yr after I got it.)

Im getting shelfs installed in my room, because im running out of SEGA genesis room.

I ran out of room a long time ago. I still cram it in by stacking stuff on top of other stuff. I currently have a vcr with a vis on it, with a dreamcast, and gamecube sitting on top of it. There's also a bulk of my stuff in the basement, Saturn, Super NES, atari games...and in my closet my intellivision and odyssey 2 stuff (which was evicted a few weeks ago from my desk spaces in a overly elaborate space saving operation that would allow my 5200 and neo geo to sit free and hooked up.

I would just like to give a big thanks to Joe! :-D

I remember in his monthly column in T & T, he wrote an article about storing games. I now store my NES games in 3 drawer Sterilite stackables.even though I have filled six of them, it has helped me to efficiently use the space I have available. At the used game store I worked at, we started storing the loose Genny carts in Cassete holders. Worked like a charm! Thanks again!
