a3quit4s | 4,127 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) Cassette tape project! Edited April 16, 2022 by a3quit4s 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,953 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) I don't, they're stored in an unsuspecting hiding place in plain sight easy to get at. I found that it works better for me just because they're in a solid set of columns I setup in A-Z order with easy pull out access than having it all on some huge display that eats up far more space. Sure I can't look at the stickers, but with as many as I do (probably about 150 between GB+C+A) it would be a mess even if I decided to buy up lot of DS or tape cassette cases as some do.

Alder | 243 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Lol, some day I'll get around to having an actual game room. To be serious though, I really like the cassette tape idea, but I may end up just going NintendoTwizer style with loose carts on a shelf, probably with (aftermarket) dust covers, and without the index letter tabs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,953 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I forgot the image when I posted that last time and added it, but, that's just 8bit. What it's standing on you can't see any of that one, but there's a 2 shelf door covered cube there unlike the open bottom one. I have a snap case I got with random square/rectangle spaces in it in there, and the GBA games are stood up in those spaces just like the drawers so not really worth showing. The 2nd has some accessories and spare gameboys inside that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renmauzo | 1,205 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I LOVE GAME BOY! I made a conscious decision to dedicate a quarter of my game room to GB, GBC, and GBA. Eventually, my plan is to set up a wire grid wall with the retail pusher trays to face as many games as possible; the artwork is just so great! If I was using the DS cases + artwork or the cassette style cases, I would still do this same type of display in order to celebrate the art and the library. Just as I've really enjoyed seeing what everyone else in the thread is doing with their GB collections, I can't wait to see what you end up doing with your Game Boy games, @Nintegageo! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,953 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) I'd love to display some stuff forward, but I live with a control freak of a wife who can't seem to respect personal space entirely, she thinks I have too much stuff, even after offloading well more than 1/2 of it (2/3?), it's still too much. Most my gaming stuff that remains game wise sits in that drawer the cubes below, an entertainment rack with the systems, and then a Propac 5ft by 5ft 21 shelf media shelf and an as wide shelf above it. She's on this Kondo trip of be a nomad, if you don't use it, lose it. I'm fed up with it, problem is the twat who owned this house before me decided to remove the door with a lock for a 90s (early) style asinine open (double door wide) arch into the main room. Unless you're in the kitchen you can't see much, even then I've put most to the front of the room so you need to enter to see it other than 2 tiny wall shelves with a few items and the Neo Geo. Fucks me off having hoarder thrown around when we know the actual definition of that one. Given my choice, had I door, with a lock(key) I'd keep everyone the fuck out and have a standing display like the one in the last post and I'd put some shelves back get the few console boxes I have out too (only NES/SNES are now since the consoles are in it and the closet isn't temp controlled well.) Yup...rant, still clearly ticks me off. Edited April 17, 2022 by Tanooki 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor | 855 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 GB isn't my main collecting focus, so i don't have a ton of games. so i keep them in a binder in baseball card pages. it sure beats the unorganized drawer they were in previously 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegularGuyGamer | 2,018 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) I had 3 of these showcases but I've since paired down to one. If I had to display carts, I think I would go the custom route to have them all label out. Edited April 17, 2022 by RegularGuyGamer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of those - new those came with a paper insert with artwork of gameboys on it - including a game called Doomsayer which was never released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintegageo | 582 Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Wow, some cool posts/ideas. Thanks guys! I have perhaps 10-15 CIB games with the GB/GBC I think? Though I just keep them in a box with my other SNES/N64 boxes. I like to display the games as cartridges in dust covers so as to show their awesome art. The 'problem' is I currently use nail polish displays which are actually super deep and thus wasting space (this is in an apartment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,537 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Anyone ever do the Zippo lighter display case? Apparently Zippos and Game Boy carts are close enough in size that they fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually bid on a new one nearly 10 years ago and got out bid it ended up selling for around $200 and I still regret not bidding higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine a long long time ago at an electronics clearance show. Think I paid like $10 for it. One thing that they also came with (which mine didn't have) was an index card that fit in the manual compartment - not really sure what use that was since you can see everything in the case, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
