I started with shelves back, when I was collecting. I used cardboard, and tape the first time, but the games kept on falling off, and I damaged a gold leaf boxes because I had sharpen pencil below..........

Then I made a shelf with wood and brackets, high up. I "mounted" ( If that is the word ), it to this pieace of wall that is sticking out ( I think it might be a support of some sort ). The brackets came out a bit, and are upside down, so I have to be carefull, not to overload it. Even if you do that, you need to keep your stuff in plastics, or else dust/air will get to whatever you put.

Next I did the ole, library thing, in conjunction with the closet thing. So everybody is in one spot. However I took out a chunk of room space.

I think I am going to get those skinny draws, that climbs up against the wall, and surround the room. This way I can let light in, and have more space to walk around. When I say skinny, I mean almost square shape and small, but has just enough space for something, while taking less then twleve inches of wall space. I forget what those skinny things are called again, but I think many schools, might have them. But the ones I would get would be long draws, instead. I think.

So that is an idea, to save space for sure that I have not done yet. Get those skinny draws/shelf/cupboard/etc, and stack em to the ceiling, but of course if the room is not leveled, those things weigh a ton, and could be deadly, to a small child, elderly or anybody. You know those skinny shelves they use in records? That is what I thinking of. In a place, that stores records and artifacts they use them all the time.
Almost invisible.

This may sound off the wall, but you could always get a rackmount. http://www.rackmountsolutions.net/

I was gonna suggest this http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/20135300/#/80135298 but it's just a few cm too big.  I love that stuff.  Ikea hackers and whatnot.

I actually have something very similar there now. except below the two top squares are shoes bins.  I have it holding many many items.  Including the duo.  Alas I've decied to sell off my TG-16 Systems and extras, except my orginal system from 90 (which will be boxed and stored soon) and just stick with the duo.   I'm going to so the same to all the other decks, except the Wii.  Going to build shelving in the corner up to tyhe celing to hold all the extras.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

If you have any quantity of hucards, store the boxes and cases somewhere and put the cards in a sports card binder like Esteban (where's that picture?)

Good luck!


Hahahahahahhaha.

FURTHER SPACE SAVING TIPS (I do this):

(1) Do not have all of your consoles out at all times. LIMIT YOURSELF TO 1-2 CONSOLES PER _________ weeks. Focus on a handful of games during this period. Rotate every _______ weeks. This sounds harsh...but you may find yourself enjoying the focus. I do, at least.

(2) Remove all of your clothes from the armoire. Neatly arrange clothes in a large duvet cover (autumn is approaching!). Use armoire for storing yogurt and/or video game paraphernalia.

(3) Get cute little binders for your HuCards. Store jewel cases and manuals in your car.
