I now have 21 GBA games and 9 GB\GBC carts (plus 1 that I keep in it's original box). I don't have room in the case that I normally keep them in, and I need a decent way to keep them easily accessible. The first thing that came to my mind was "I need some ideas."

So, how does everyone here store their GB\GBC\GBA carts?

That's the problem. I've run out of room for all of them. Glacier GBA + 21 Games makes is hard to keep my GBA link cable and GBA\GCN link cable in it as well.

You'll either need to build your own storage box or browse the net for one.

Hmm... I might have to build one, then. I need to build or convert shelves for my older games as well, so that'll probably be tacked on.

To store my GBA games I ordered some DS cases from Nintendos online store ($7 for 10 cases) and printed covers for them off the internet, it looks good imo. Here is a pic of how it looks like from the side:

http://www.thecoverproject.net/ They have covers for just about every game. And if you are good with a photo editing program you can easily make your own using some of their templates.

I'm semi-good with Photoshop 7, so I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

I use some lock n lock boxes. ^That is not the one i use, just the only one i could find on google, but i really like the ds case knock off ideas. A guy at my local blockbuster would probably give me some free cases.

that is effin awesome! i have been keeping mine in the ds cases i have, but never really thought of doing that. also, most of my gbc games (i have a few that are a bit clunky, like perfect dark) are in the plastic cases that all of the gameboy games used to come in. i believe you can still get those on ebay, but as far as storage for them... i have this sort of obelisk that i picked up at wal-mart a few years ago with two doors with cd storage for about 200 cds which is where my psx and dc games are and then about 5 adjustable shelves which is where my n64, gbc, saturn, genesis, 32x, and sega cd games are, along with my mountain of n64 peripherals. it works out pretty well for me. i want to build a sort of drawer for the gameboy games though.
