How to store GBA games

Retarded_Turkey

How do you store your GBA games? I just keep mine in DS cases.

core tactic

In my DS. I used to keep all mine in one case until I got more DS games though.

Ah_Pook

most of them are in a big ziploc bag

if im going somewhere i take a couple along in ds cases

BahamutZERO

I usually wrap them in cellophane or put them in tupperware to keep the moisture in, and then refrigerate them so they keep longer.

Scrumtrulescent

mine are in a shoebox.

A Fila shoebox.

LewieP

in an old glasses case.

BahamutZERO

But seriously, I have them lying around everywhere.

Refrigerate them? Wha? With or without lemon?

Also, Nintendo's hard game cases aren't a bad solution either.

Scrumtrulescent

If I'm taking them somewhere, I'll pick two GBA games, one I put in the gamboy and the other in my pocket.

Shit, I need to buy King of Swing.

Xagarath

I only own 3, so they sit on the edge of a shelf.

From my stint at EB I assumed everyone keeps their games in piles of dirt and misc watery shit so it forms a nice crust layer.

scootch

put them back in the original plastic sleeve and in their box on the shelf.

Is it okay to put them in the DS cases? The space for GBA games seems pretty tight.

Lukin

I don't know. THey seem to disappear.

Kinda the same situation as Lukin. Keep them mostly in one cluttered spot, but a few have disappeared into the nothingness of nowhere. Although some of the ones I'd thought I'd lost turned out to have been lent to my brother-in-law who recently gave them away. To someone else. Like they were his. :?

ArcticXC

If I had the money I'd go with the game cases from Nintendo.

But I don't.

Chen

I have these cases like the one bruin posted, but for single cartridges. You know, like the ones Nintendo used to give with every GB game until they stopped for whatever reason.

Some of you seem pretty tight on space, the cardboard boxes aren't a bad alternative.

Gorilla Salad

in a pile next to my DS cases and all my PS2 games. Or in my DS/SP

The cover project is where you will find all the cover inserts you'll need for for the empty Nintendo DS cases you can buy direct from the nintendo.com website.

holy fucking shit this URL broke Captain K's h-scroll at 1680x1050 so he edited it

Captain K

Jesus, pvx22, that link took my H-scroll out back and fucked it in the ass.


I went ahead and fixed that for you.






as for me, all my GBA games are in an Apple Store drawstring bag

All of my GBA games are in their boxes on a nice shelf. It's people like YOU (everyone in this thread) that make it so hard to buy GBA games on eBay. Why throw away a perfectly good box?

TheSonicRetard

I kept all my GBA boxes. I keep them all lined up in a cabinet next to my DVD and CD cases.

I have, I think, 4 or 5 GBA and GB games that are loose, though, and I keep those in a plastic bag. I wish I had boxes for them, though. If I could, I'd print out cardboard boxes on cardstalk for them.

powersurge

In their boxes next to my ds and console games. People who don't keep the book and box and then try and ebay/sell the game should DIAF! :x

I imagine that's why GB piracy is so prevalent on eBay, just a theory.

Gilder

Most of my GBA games are in my 3 GBA cases and a couple are just lying around. However, I keep all my boxes in as perfect condition as possible and they're neatly displayed in my entertainment center. The only bad box I have is my LttP one because it got crushed by my cousin.

Ah_Pook

who said anything about throwing the boxes away? its just the boxes arent convenient for every day use as a storage solution imo.

indeed, as a portable console, you need a portable solution to carry the games in. I keep all my GBA cases mint on a shelf, and transfer the games to my old glasses case.

Rohaq

My original GB/GBC/GBA cases got chucked away because I just couldn't store them properly; they were cardboard, fell apart, and generally weren't durable.

The DS cases get stacked with the rest of my games on shelves, the games are freefloating in my DS case.

captaink

Pfff fuck the boxes.

I used to keep them all in a drawer, and a few stuffed inside my tiny SP case. Now I have a DS and I got a nice case for it that holds 9, exactly how many I have. Lucky me. Any more will probably go into the DS game cases I have now.

ManetherenWolf

The boxes that I still have go on my bookshelf with the rest of my games.

The games themselves go in the DS G-Pak I bought before Christmas.

It has a velcro'd in fold out panel that holds 30 DS game cards, and 6 GBA games. With my DS game collection now... I pretty much NEEDED something that would hold that many too.

Plus it doubles as a great carrying case for Wii Remotes when I am taking them to a friends. Holds 2 remotes and nunchuks perfectly. (If I take my DS out of course.)

I keep all my boxes but I store my games in my DS game cases. Unfortunately I have moe GBA games than DS games so just my favs get shelter.

that would another reason to buy more DS games...

DarkPrimus

I keep my GBA boxes AND buy game cases for them.

I actually need to get more... I use the 3-packs to store them, and then I have some individual ones to use for when I take them with me somewhere.

A shoebox

A shoebox of Liii-eee-i-i-ies

Bartholamue

This is how I store my GBA games.

cooljammer00

we throw them away because they're cardboard boxes.

they get wet and rip.

they get old and dusty and faded because there's no layer of plastic.

they crush (oh god, do they get crushed) especially games at the bargain bin with all this other shit laying on top.

but to the topic, I keep the little baggy the GBA games come in, and then put those in a plastic bag.

i miss the old GameBoy hard plastic covers. why dont they bring those back? they have SD card holders. just make some to fit DS games.

Holy shit you have a lot of GBA games.

I need a bigger budget.

Steel Angel

If I put them all together, mine would probably look like Bartholamue's pile too.

As is, the cardboard boxes are horrible if you don't sell old games. I keep whatever GBA and DS games I want on hand in a sturdy cardboard box a knife came in, it's a little wider than a GBA card and can fit 2 stacked on top of each other. I'm planning on a plastic container for the GBA pile in general though.

Bartholamue

I probably have 5-6 more since that picture was taken, but they are not pictured or still sealed.

SirUltimos

A ziploc bag. I have one for GBA games and one for DS games.

I keep the boxes, too. I put the boxes on my shelf but keep the games seperate because it's so damn inconvenient to open the box and bring the game out everytime I wanna play a game for 5 minutes.
