??? Went to Wal-Mart today, looking for some storage containers for NES games.....the same ones I bought maybe 4 years ago. I remember having my carts in the black sleeves that came with the games (THE best cases for these games, hands down! The snapping clear cases were oversized, inconvienient, and when they got scratched up, they looked like crap!). I'd then put the black sleeved carts in a cardboard box...which worked, until I didn't have any more boxes which were sized good enough. So around that time, I was posting at the defunct NESfan website forum, and someone mentioned a certain Sterilite container, model #1804. Sturdy, OPENING drawer with a hinge so it doesn't pull all the way out, wide enough to PERFECTLY fit two rows of NES carts in the black sleeves. Very TIGHT fit, so if you pull a cart out, the black sleeves stay in place and the carts don't fall like dominoes inside of it. PERFECT....I believe each will hold about 30 NES carts (these are priced at $5 each). It could hold probably four more carts, but I put a USPS Priority Mail box (VHS size..not sure if they have these anymore) in the very back because the drawer doesn't come out all the way unless you unhinge it and there's that small amount of space where the top of the lid covers the very back end...and that space you can't really reach a cart unless you pull the drawer completely out...so the mailing box serves as a filler for that space. I personally think this is the best storage container for NES carts, giving easy access and it keeps them dust free unlike if you put them on a bookshelf..and well, using underbed containers isn't really practical if you have a ton of games and you want to reach a specific title without having to move shit around and put shit back to get to one thing you are looking for.
So there...best NES storage container on the market. They are stackable, so you could line them up to your ceiling probably
So what I'm looking for now is similar "recommended" containers for other system cartridges; SNES, GENESIS, SMS, NEO GEO, 2600/5200/7800, JAGUAR, etc... Brand doesn't matter...just looking for the PERFECT fitting containers...
I figure this thread could help not only myself out but others also...
