How do you all sort your games?
« on: December 25, 2009, 05:04:28 PM »
I was staring at my shelf today and thought my NEC turbo games look like butt crack! Allow me to explain, I had my games alphabetical order initially, but thought the mis matching labels distracted from the looK. I decided to sort them via label style. Ie: Orange labels, black labels then cd's green, super cd the super cd's2 red. How do you guys present your titles?

Alphabetical.

Functionality over visual appeal; I have no idea if the game I'm looking for has a f*cking green or orange spine, nor do I care. I want to be able to find the game quickly without having to think about it too much.

i sort by system.  Thats the extent of my sorting.   

I know where every game is.  Its what my friends have come to call the "darovich decimal system".

plus the randomness makes it more fun if someone else cant think of what to play!  more variety!

By the genre of the game (RPGs in one area, fighters in another general area, etc), but that's about it.

I just sort everything by system, then by region (mainly because of the difference in box/case size for Saturn, GBA, etc from region to region) and then (and this is only for the PCE) by system sub-type (HuCards, CDs, SuperCDs, ACDs).

I put all of my shooters together. The other games are then placed together.  :) That really is it for me.

Well, how about this then?

You could sort your titles first by color label and within each color label group, sort the titles alphabetically. :wink:

@ Dark fact  Thats exactly what I did. Initially it bothered me that sequels would not be together, but I liked the visual appeal over the functionality. All my other systems have more uniform cases so those are kept strictly alphabetical. Since you all sound like me do you all keep your systems stored in their original boxes and take em out when you get ready to play or do you all use multi-sys. selectors and keep all your sys. plugged in? If its the latter, whats the best system selector to own if you have a grip(lots) of vintage systems?

I sort alphabetically. No more, no less. I agree with Nat. I'd like to be able to find a game quickly with no hassle than make a pretty pattern that serves no purpose and makes it harder to find something.

I understand your sentimant ajak but most of us know if a game is a cd or a hu card. I don't have any problems finding a title, now ask me about sorting pc engine games.....toughy :P

I sort like exile (OP) does, but only with my Turbo games and it is clumsy.  I think I will just separate them into HuCards and CDs and be done with it, with each section being alphabetical, of course.

However I always put sequels together even if they have a different name (my Blu-ray collection sees Batman Begins and The Dark Knight sitting together, etc).  The only exception would be f one was on CD and the other was not.
