Loose games. DISPLAYED RIGHT! (pictures!)

[mills]

hate having so many loose NES and SNES carts. They dont look as presentable as when they are complete in original packaging. After much brain storming I decided to try this.




Still about 50 more loose games to put up there.






I love Velcro.

While I congratulate you on a novel and effective idea, I can't imagine that would be too good for the wall paint.

i dont think it will harm the paint in the long run. It reminds of the paint used on high school walls. Also i dont care because we are renting and they always paint the walls every time someone moves out.

Looking forward to seeing your complete SNES wallpaper.

Nice idea....maybe there's hope for all my natsy "no end label" N64 carts.

Exactly what I was thinking! I've got little stickers with names on my favorites.

Perhaps they always paint the walls when someone moves out because of the condition the tenants leave them in.

How are they stuck to the walls and how do you take them down when you want to play them?

I hate that! Most of the locall game store write the title on the end which is just more work to clean the game up.

Maybe it's super glue

Pretty snazzy idea. I've been trying to think of a way to display my loose games and might wind up going with an adjustable cd/dvd rack (basically what I use for my PS2/Xbox/GC games) configured just for NES/SNES carts.

Out of curiosity, once you have more then 2 rows, how are you going to get the ones in the middle down?

No it's so when they sell the apartment to someone else it looks new because of the fresh paint.

Its 3m velcro squares. 2 on the wall 2 on the back of the cart. Easily removable. No residue or damage done.

Im sure the sticky on the back of that velcro will leave some nasty residue on the back of your cart if it is on there long enough

I hope it works out well for you

Well, I would say that velcro is a better option than running a drywall screw through each one.


What would be really cool, though, would be to have an entire room covered with velcro, so that you could just toss your games at the walls when you are done with them. $$$

I'll have to consider implementing that idea in the game room I'll have someday.

If there's a better, cheaper, easier way let me know!

I'm amazed at all the nay-sayers. Walls aren't exactly hard to touch up and the velcro would peel off the carts easily enough. The end effect looks very spiffy.

[s1lence]

Just watch the sunlight that gets into the room. It will fade the labels insanely quick. I love the idea though, don't think my wife would let me do that. (Nor do I have enough wall space)

Exactly! Its better than putting a nail or a screw through the drywall.
The stuff DOES easily peel off the carts and if it does leave a reisdue which I don't think it will, I can clean it off.

There is only one window in this room and the curtain is always closed. I'm very fair skinned and I don't like sunlight at all so it wont be getting in here.
