How do you display your NES collection? Personally, I moved a year ago, so most of my NES stuff is still in numerous boxes in a spare room upstairs. I used to have some narrow shelving that I displayed my favorite boxes on. Maybe someday I'll do the same, but enough to display everything-- maybe even enclosed in glass. Anyone else?

I have them in simple shelves. I don't have enough room to display them as they deserve. :wink:

I use an old Entertainment Center with two pullout drawers. both hold about 70 unboxed regular shaped carts. Its great to see the look on peoples faces when I show them a good sized stack next to my NES, and then open up a these 2 large drawers overstuffed with NES games. the kids on my block practically shit their pants.
Dont get me started on my Atari Collection.

mine is... uhhh... in a box that is now too small to contain everything. so I'm in the planning stages of a display/storage upgrade.

I have a video cassette case that all mine fit in (except a few). There is room on the two doors, and on the shelves in the unit itself. They are all in dust covers (minus 10-15 of them). They face outwards so you can see the titles, and I leave the doors open all the time. I like to look at them! :D

If you have 50cm between them it should be no problem.

Me neither until I discovered the problem for myself. :wink:
Are TFT screens a problem, too? Does anybody know?

I put them all in a fairly big shoebox I have. When some dont fit, i just put them on top. Nothing special.

About seven normal shoe boxes and one funky grey plastic carrier with enough room for 10 games and a middle section that I keep some 'cleaning solution' in. I've thought about building something fancy, but I am far too lazy for that. I used to have to use a Jewel-Osco paper grocery bag, but that broke on me and my GI Joe Atlantis Factor has had something loose in it ever since....So don't use Jewel-Osco Plastic Bags

This summer we will work up our attic. With that new space I might get a place to put on fancy shelves and display my stuff in there. :D

Finally! I got a digital camera, so I'll probably be pic happy for awhile. Just bear with me! I tried to explain what my collection is displayed like before in this thread. In the back is the cabinet that I mentioned. The rest of it is my NES stuff that I just wanted to include in the pic. Nevermind the cord draped across the picture. That's my wife playing the new Paper Mario. :)

Thank you! I've been working on it about two years now... I think. I usually only get to buy around tax time, so that's a bummer. At least it's exciting when it happens! Ha! Funny you should ask how many that is! I just got done counting them! Are you some sort of mind reader? :lol: Well, it's up to 207 now. Not as many as I'd like to have, but nothing to sneeze at, either. Most of them are of the fun variety, too. That always helps! :D

That's a nice and tidy collection you have there. :)
Your wife can be proud of you. No mess, everythings arranged in beautiful order. :D
