MachineCode | 159 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 What do you guys with these very large collections, especially ones with displays like Fleck's Zelda wall, do to keep your games clean and dust free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,690 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I collect CIB and keep the boxes in clear PET plastic protectors, so it's not really an issue for me. That being said, for my loose NES carts I try to keep dust covers on everything. I stock up by buying big lots on eBay every now and then. I'm not sure what I would do for other classic cartridge based systems. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptOut | 8,881 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Air pollution in Taiwan makes dust and grime build up a sorry fact of life for me. Essentially, I keep all my loose games in tubs with lids so I can avoid the worst of it. Obviously this makes displaying my games basically impossible, but on the plus side I have an AWESOME tub display, lol! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeatherRebel5150 | 1,055 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 There used to be a guy on Atariage that sold embroidered dust covers for consoles. Other than that if you have a regularly shaped shelving area you could get some plexiglass and make doors to keep dust out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richardhead | 2,813 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I don’t have a large collection, but this seems to do the trick. Use it 2 times a week and it only takes a few minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I used to just keep my NES carts on shelves in the walk in closet with the contacts up against the wall. I never had any dust issues that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I have my Gameboy carts, accessories and systems that aren't hooked up, not the most aesthetic but very functional. Anything on shelves I try to dust every few months.
