Prefer mine complete in case (with manual and sleeve). Boxes don't really interest me.

I organize mine by spine color (HuCard, CD, Super CD), and then, alphabetically. But my collection isn't impressive yet, so the games look kinda jumbled together as of now

I usually go for the complete game(case, manual and game). When I get a game, I just throw it in my PC Engine game basket, or place it on a cabinet.
I keep some games upstairs with the good ol' GT. I know, I'm not that organized :wink:

 I don't organize my shit.  It's all stored neatly on shelves in no particular order.

Oddly enough, I CAN FIND EVERYTHING.

Except for Arcade Card Pro.  I always seem to not be able to find it even though I am staring at it.

 I like my Turbo games like I like my men. Black. +1 awesome points if you get that.

For hucards, I prefer getting loose, let the collectors have the cases and stuff. I do like manuals, but it's hardly a necessity since US manuals are largely useless, and the pretty Japanese manuals I can't read anyway. I put them in a large fake leather business card holder, organized by system cards and flash cart first, then by how much I like the game. It's kinda random, but it makes game selection easier on the go with the Turbo Express.

CD games, on the other hand, I get with case and manual in preferably mint condition. I don't care for the boxes or spine cards, however. I put them in a storage box in simple alphabetic order. It's not difficult, I only have a few CD games.

I don't have a list, but I think we started to make a list at some point (but it might have been at magicengine forums...) concerning all the odd package sizes (one of the Wizardry titles is in a "chubby single jewel case", for example).

CD-ROM + bonus audio disc... that wasn't too common for PCE. Hmmmm...

I like all games in case with manual. TTI games I stick in cases with sparky labels. TG16 boxes are cool but I don't look for them. Loose PCE games are just ew. I like the foam things in PCE games, I wish I had more lol. Here's my stuff all organized by color lol



Man, looks extra organized having them organized by color. PROPS!
My DVD shelf looks almost the same as your's too, i recognize the classy 2 fold cardboard backing!
hahaha

Sadly...all my PCE/Turbo games and stuff are scattered in 3 different rooms in the house, haha.
1) Bedroom - to listen to the ones with great CD soundtracks
2) Living room - where my PCE used to be setup on the family tv
3) Game room - where the system currently resides along with a few games that i played recently

So no pictures until i get them organized...

I prefer cases for all my US games. For any Japanese HU games I prefer getting loose ones. I like to put together my own cases and inserts for them. This way I can write it out in english and actually be able to read the name of the game from the side of the case. Otherwise when I look for a game I'd have to sort through all my PC engine games until I find the one I am looking for. I used to do that and it was a big annoyance.

I just insert spine-shaped English text title strips into JP games that have regular jewel cases. On cart games that don't have standard jewel cases (ie, are similar to the US game cases) I just tape an English label on the spine.

I must admit that I much prefer to go for complete including outer box if and when possible, as long as the asking price is not astronomical for what it is. I will admit that I do segregate between Hu's, CD and Super CD Rom's but I do not bother to separate US/JP games, everything is alphabetical. I do not like loosies at all, I at least want a manual to go with it. I will than just place in a generic case with one of Sparky's lovely labels I bought a few years back.

Luckily for me I started buying CIB games back in like 2005-06. I am really surprised now by some of the prices most games seem to go for on auction sites. Anyhow, as long as it's not what I personally deem to be to pricey I will go for complete including outer box if there was one. I was lucky when I purchased my CIB Soldier Blade and others as I did not pay even half of what those will go for. In fact I won it in a lot, CIB copies of Neutopia II, Time Cruise, and Soldier Blade for only $126 and free shipping. That was back in like '09 so not that long ago really. Im shocked that Bomberman '93 seems to be about 80 bucks now, I remember when I used to own it I had purchased it for $30 back in '09 as well I believe. I also remember paying like only $50ish for my sealed(at the time) copy of Y's III.

I remember back in '09 we were complaining about game prices. If only we'd known.... If only we'd known.

Exactly, except I remember complaining in 1999 about the prices. Good Lord I was an idiot for not getting more stuff. But I had no $$$.
