Yeah I always put sequels together as well, even if it breaks the alphabetical flow for a moment.

i can only talk for my PCE games. i have ordered them in media order -> hucard, super hucard, CD, SCD, ACD, hibaihin/taikenban/misc.

and within the media, in manufacturer order -> hudson vol., namcot, irem, taito etc...

likewise. only PCE.

it's the fastest way I can think of to find a game, especially when there are several hunderds. and it makes most sense for me of how games should be ordered, especially for the hucards, since they are labled with the manufacturers name and some of 'em even numbered.

That is how I organize all the games that are currently being played. I should get a small box or something, just to make things easier.

I once had mine in numerical order by converting the titles to binary and adding all the ones together, but that was a tad confusing for humans and consequently abandoned.  Now they're sorted alphabetically within genre groups.

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:

This is how I have mine sorted also.  I may change it in the future, but it is most visually appealing to me.  I am about to clear some room out of my basement and will finally be able to buy some decent shelves in stead of the CD rack I have everything piled on that is about to break in half.  Anyone have any suggestions for nice shelves/bookcases?

For best fit make'em ur self. figure out the dimensions you want and get the wood cut from a lumber store or Home depot., Loews type place, get long wood screws (or sheetrock ones) and feel proud of your accomplishment every time u see it (like i do about my MaMeCast Cabinet) you can start small......or go to gothic cabinet and they start u off with basic stuff u can ask to modify any part of. although i dont know gothics prices.

Call me snooty, but I only like to see books on shelves.

Everything else (CD's, DVD's, games) are hidden in cabinets or in the closet.

The CHEAPEST, and perhaps the most practical solution for you:

1: Commandeer a closet.
2. Take everything out and line 3 walls with adjustable shelving system (like this this one ...dirt cheap at Home Depot/Lowes and super-easy to install).
3. Cut wood shelves to fit closet (if you prefer, white melamine fiberboard is always available).
4. You can still store stuff in the closet--get a rolling cart (you can easily pull out) if you really want to maximize space.
5. When you leave/sell the condo, take down the brackets/shelves. You can leave the metal tracks on the wall (since they do not interfere with anything). Otherwise, remove the tracks and simply spackle a handful of tiny screwholes. No one will ever know.

I dont have a closet in the basement (where all my gamimg stuff is).  I am going to have an open wall soon, so I was going to pick up 1 or 2 bookshelves to fill the area.  I was looking for something cheap like these.  The only reason I was complaining about the condo is because I dont have a place to work on projects like this (that require woodwork) or even my car :(

i live in a NYC apt .. I dont have a garage area either. But like i said u can ask lumber spots to do all the cuts for u when u buy the wood doesn't cost extra usually . just measure what size u want in between shelves and how deep how wide ...hell you can copy measurements from a pre-made u like an jus save money an feel like a macho man. :wink:
