Let's Discuss: Famicom Cart Storage / Display

[Yelir]

The last threads I saw dated some time ago, there were good ideas for wall storage display (a' la senseiman), and it seems like most used the tried and true bookshelf method for great spine display if your items are boxed up.

How has time and multiplatform collecting changed your Famicom cart setup? I'm looking to discuss storage and display, maybe share tips since there are no real end labels given the used stock, and get good ideas for my own plans.

Right now I have a wall mountable cassette tape holder that will fit 100 pieces, but since Famicom carts are just about the same size it works quite well. I found a decent particle board (?) shelf at a used shop for $20, do you think it would be practical for temporary shelving? The sizing is fairly deceptive, each cubby is almost exact length of a cart, and it'll fit roughly a cart and a half height. I'm thinking if you lined the carts horizontally with the label facing forward, each cubby would hold roughly 20 carts.

I have a shelving thing on wheels that originally held electronics like amps and vcrs and such.  The back area is boxes of spare stuff and the front is my often used games lined up in a neat row.

I have an SMB3 lunchbox for loose carts.  The rest went in a champagne case, which somehow sits around 30-40 carts super snugly.  I wish I had something like your casette rack though!

It's difficult to find games without end labels. I have them stored in shallow containers, such as drawers.

NES, SNES and genesis games have the label go over the top to help find the right game.  Famicom games I group in a certain way and memorize the colour of each cart.

I have 3 of these incredible cabinets, I can fit approximately 175 carts in each. I love how they lock and I still have the key! They are heavy suckers too, I think the base is cement filled.

yeah parodius that's pretty much what I use just with shelves that go further back and they're black...and there's no door.
