On Videogame Storage Solutions

Thanks to GameSpy for its article discussing a variety of possible ways to store an extensive videogame collection. The author points out: "The more video games you buy, the more storage space you need to keep them all. You'd think this goes without saying, but a lot of people don't give it much thought until their bedroom's paved in CD cases, piles of NES carts have transformed into makeshift tables, and ... is that an Intellivision peeking from the fridge?" He goes on to suggest that "...the ability to maximize vertical space and the ability to adjust the height of individual shelves" is most important for game storage, and "a more modular approach: stacking plastic drawers" is advisable for "boxes of controllers, cables and lightguns."

The more interesting part of the article is near the end on the 2nd page: Retro Review: Bionic Commando about a game that kind of reminds me of Turrican but older. I keep stacks of cd's next to my never-been-opened box of cd cases near my never-been-used cd rack. I give my cartridges and consoles away in a "borrow" sense, then never ask for them back. I obtain the ROMS if I feel like it and they're available. I stopped buying consoles playstation era. I do relate to his cord problems, but with the computer instead. If you need this guy's tips for acceptable solutions to a surplus of games then you're helpless. He had few and obvious tips. He goes on about how if you go through your games and throw out the bad ones this really reduces total. DUH. -_- I mean, c'mon? Most of us I'm sure just play it by ear and rarely stress about our "game storage problem". >_
