I finally picked up a cassette rack for storing loose Genesis carts. It also works perfect for Master System and even Famicom games. Definitely buy one of you come across one.
This is genius, as a kid I found an old cassette storage rack my parents had and we’re going to throw out so I just used it to store my N64 and GB, GBC, and GBA games. Never figured to use the actual cassette containers for the games, time to finish what I started, TY!
So I found that if you print using a Mac and opening the PowerPoint file in Keynote you should print to PDF first. Then open the PDF and in the print option of the PDF scale to 74% seems to fit the cassette cases perfect. Took me about 10 test prints to figure that out. Hope it helps others. Thanks for doing this video!!!!
Also you can get 3/4" felt furniture feet to cover the part you have to snip off. It looks a little better than a square cover and fits perfect over the spindle holder you need to cut off. www.amazon.com/Shepherd-Hardware-9861-Self-Adhesive-Furniture/dp/B00FFY9R0U/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=felt+feet+for+chairs+round+3%2F4in&qid=1558837413&s=gateway&sr=8-9#customerReviews
mini cases are so cute. great idea! You make buying loose games fun now. Because of you, I just might start buying a few from time to time. Great video!!!
These look pretty cool. I saw a post on Twitter with these & I asked about them & they sent me a link to this channel. I have some Game Boy, Game Boy Color & Game Boy Advance games in Nintendo DS style cases, but I will consider doing this style for some games.
Your videos on organizing games and custom cases are fantastic. As somebody with OCD, I've searched and searched a ton and it's actually quite difficult to find helpful material on the subject. Awesome job and thanks!
So I was just watching random videos, and found this in my recommendations by sheer coincidence. Man, what a great coincidence this was!! I love this idea so much, everything just fits like a glove, all while looking so cool and stylish~!! Game display projects like these are something I love, and I can't wait to see more like this from you. You just got a new sub~!! ^w^
Just wanted to thank you for this video. I just recently started collecting a bit for the gameboy systems and needed a good way to display them. Your video is what made me settle on cassette cases and even better introduced me to your channel and then to the nespursuit which has kept me super busy watching videos. I made my own cassette rack out of walnut and maple and I'm super stoked on how it came out. Thanks again, really enjoy your videos.
We use Zippo acrylic display cases. Tobacco and cigar shops with Zippos get new cases and they just toss or store the old ones. We got the tall light up one that rotates and the top with Zippo on all sides can be covered in vinyl to say Nintendo! Holds over 80 small carts for all GB ,DS,Switch, etc…
Oh shit. What a great idea. Don't know how I never heard of this. Been looking at videos of people making their own boxes but that is so time consuming. This is much easier and looks just as good.
@nescomplex what an awesome idea. I have a fairly large cassette collection already, and having my game boy games next to it would be pretty cool. Great meeting you at GameOn this weekend too!
This is awesome, I just recently got a Gameboy out in the wild for 2 bucks with Battle Toads. I've been thinking about collecting them and game gear games.
This is an awesome idea! I already use the "nail polish" stand for my loose TG-16 and GB/GBC games (as seen on My Life in Gaming). This looks like the perfect solution to my loose GBA cartridges, which are too small to display on the stand.
Hi Nescomplex. Could you share a update of the covers you have made for gb gbc gba in the link descriptions? Thanks, love this vid and your channel. Love ❤️
Oh, thank GOD. This is super useful! My GBA games are all in pretty random DS boxes. Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World in New Super Mario Bros, NES Classics Legend of Zelda in Dragon Quest IX and Army Men Advance in Ultimate Mortal Kombat. Not good enough. This should be useful. Thanks!
Ikea sells a spice rack that's well known amongst Cassette tape collectors for being just the right size to use as a Cassette tape storage shelf. There are of course those old drawers that are available at every thrift store on earth.
Dude I've been subscribed to your channel for a year but I have never watch any of your videos. I subscribed because I saw you in a game quest video (beat em ups channel) and I started watching your videos and they are so damn high quality, keep up the good work 💪.
You can 3d print an insert for gameboy, gba, and color games to make them not rock around in it if it bugs you. Looks amazing especially if you go the extra mile and color coordinate the filament with the games case/art. Whatever you like
Thanks for this! Brilliant idea. I took some of them you've done and applyed a different cover for some of my games. (In Europe the Mega man covers look different for exemple), It was very easy to do with powerpoint, paint and google :D
You can also tear the pegs off by heating them with a lighter and then cutting them with scissors. Very easy, leaves little damage, just let it dry for a few minutes before getting the display ready. If there's no heat on it, the pegs will be very hard to cut/clip. Just some advice for people without clippers.
I've decidedd to go this route with my collection. I've just got some cassette boxes so far and I have to say, even without labels they look pretty baller (although of course you can't identify the game if you stack them up). Maybe because they look like how they encase games in retro stores in Japan, if you've ever seen that.
Had no idea your channel was alive! I’ve been a subscriber for years and I’m glad you’re still uploading. Also didn’t know you had a Patreon until now so I became a patron! Hopefully my $5 helps you create more content!
What? Really?! Thank you so very much Bryton! That truly means the world to me!!! I took a break but have been back for several months and I have no plans on stopping!
bobbyh15 He was making awesome NES Pursuit Videos with Aaron and Ricky!!!!! Duhhhh. Check em out sometime. Both channel's collaborations are AWESOME! :D
this is my pref but for GB, GBA, GBC ,DS and any loose Handheld games and cards i use nintendo switch replacement case , the games fit perfect and i just like the way it looks
Very cool. I don't usually collect loose handheld games (still have all the boxes from buying GB-GBA new back then), but I will definitely keep this in mind for the few loose games I do have.
Ive had this idea ratteling around in my head also but it would be to display my digital game library so i could see them in the collection as well. Great video! Short sweet and to the point. Great use of sound effects also.
After watching this vid I purchased the cases and downloaded the files :-) I can't wait to get this up in my games room. I don't have a cassette rack but I'll make do on the shelf until I track one down. Not a lot of things like that in Australia for display :-)

I almost mentioned that but decided to just focus on the cassettes. Thanks for bringing that up! Pinned!
I'm now inspired to clean up one I found in my garage!
Genesis games will fit in a cassette case?
Yes! And Master System carts.
*Cassette display shelving, not the plastic cases

You always have genius display ideas.
Well I can't take the credit, but thank you! I mean if you have a collection, you might as well display it well
@seejayare
This video just gave me a HUGE reason to start gameboy collecting
Wow.. It's beautiful seeing those gameboy cart in a cassette case is brilliant..love the collection..

Because I am a geek I scanned the barcode on Kirby's dream land with the amazon app and it gave me American gladiators for the SNES.
This is honestly one of the best vids I've seen for displaying gameboy games etc, got me excited to run out and buy cassette boxes XD
Thank you! They look better in person too. You won’t regret it
Mate, thank you so much for that. Your powerpoint is lovely, and so easy to use for the games you didn't have in it. Excellent work!
Cassette tape holders are great and can hold just about anything, even Game Boy cases or Nuke.
Awesome idea. Now I really want to do this for my Gameboy and Game Gear collections.
Straightforward, simple, effective. Thank you sir!
mini cases are so cute. great idea!
You make buying loose games fun now. Because of you, I just might start buying a few from time to time. Great video!!!
They look even better in person
These look pretty cool.
I saw a post on Twitter with these & I asked about them & they sent me a link to this channel.
I have some Game Boy, Game Boy Color & Game Boy Advance games in Nintendo DS style cases, but I will consider doing this style for some games.
Never heard of this until now! What a great idea!
You’re my hero! And I don’t know why, but that Golgo 13 stood out to me at the beginning of the video. It haunts me....
Look gorgeous this carts / cards with this cassettes covers along with it's original designed prints. Very clever dude !!!!! 👍
That is one helluva labor of love. The end result is awesome but I have to be honest there is no way I am doing that for myself.
Hahaha! I love doing projects like that

You’re welcome! If you have Twitter I’d love to see what you created.
Great idea! People are so innovative...looks way better than loose games randomly placed a shelf.
This is a seriously great idea. Thank you! Was just googling replacement cases for my HuCards
Man that looks great for Turbo games!
Amazing way to display these badboys, GREAT VIDEO!!!!
We use Zippo acrylic display cases. Tobacco and cigar shops with Zippos get new cases and they just toss or store the old ones. We got the tall light up one that rotates and the top with Zippo on all sides can be covered in vinyl to say Nintendo!

Wow that looks great on the wall like that! Interesting

@nescomplex what an awesome idea. I have a fairly large cassette collection already, and having my game boy games next to it would be pretty cool. Great meeting you at GameOn this weekend too!
Ya dude! Absolutely! It was great to meet you too! The games look even better in person
This is awesome, I just recently got a Gameboy out in the wild for 2 bucks with Battle Toads. I've been thinking about collecting them and game gear games.
What a deal?!?! Awesome #jealous
This is an awesome idea! I already use the "nail polish" stand for my loose TG-16 and GB/GBC games (as seen on My Life in Gaming).
This looks like the perfect solution to my loose GBA cartridges, which are too small to display on the stand.
Just like a teacher to use power point.. Awesome!! Great idea
You know it! I use it for EVERYTHING! Thumbnails, images within videos, cases, etc
That is brilliant. Why has no one thought of this before!? Such a good idea.
I remember you talking about this way back when I was on the retro rejects. Awesome to finally see you make a video about it. Well done.
Ya. I filmed this back then too. Hahaha 2014
Awesome idea. You could cut both pegs off and Superglue them in place to actually hold the gameboy games so the don't move around.
End labels are key. Nintendo 64 surprisingly didn't remember the trend to label the end. Hahahaaa, ya I went there. Great job man.
Hahahaha. Imagine a parallel universe where N64 and GB had wrap around labels.
Thanks for the info. The felt peice is a great tip👍
I wish it looked a little cleaner
Wow. Great idea! I might try it out as a winter project!
Sounds perfect! I’m sure you’ll love it if you do
Hi Nescomplex. Could you share a update of the covers you have made for gb gbc gba in the link descriptions? Thanks, love this vid and your channel. Love ❤️
Innovating the loose cart game again! Looks like i can start collecting loose gameboy games :) saves me a few pennies.
Don't do anything with handheld systems myself but a great bit of advice for anyone who does
Oh, thank GOD. This is super useful! My GBA games are all in pretty random DS boxes. Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World in New Super Mario Bros, NES Classics Legend of Zelda in Dragon Quest IX and Army Men Advance in Ultimate Mortal Kombat. Not good enough. This should be useful. Thanks!
I never thought about this idea before.
Thanks for the info.
Dude that looks great, never seen Gameboy games displayed like this, my mind is blown.
This is so good! Love cassettes, still buy them these days and they'll make a dope company to my GB/GBA games. Thanks!
I hope this goes viral.
Such a good idea
Me too. Lol. As long as it makes some collections look a little better then I’ll be happy :-)
Damn. An excellent idea. I’m - a - I’m gonna have to steal this idea. I see cassette storage options at the local Value Village all the time!
Awesome! You won’t be disappointed
This is a fantastic idea. it´s looks so cool, retro, and it uses the right amount of space. Just great, great idea.
Wow that was awesome! Kinda makes me sad I don't really like any GameBoy games...
I've been doing something like this with famicom games, didn't think of it for gameboy and TG-16 games.
Very Nice!
I’ve seen this before and still amazes me how well the look. I even love the hard shell nes boxes
Amazing idea Chris! Thanks for sharing. I might just have to do this for my smaller games.

Crazy what a great idea 💚 Of course this is exactly the solution for my hobby collection. Thanks and best regards from Austria, Thumpfy

Wow that looks awesome, that's a cool way to make those games look great on display.
Heck ya! I knew you’d dig this Tommie!!
I do the cassette cases for gameboy but love the idea of the wall mounted shelf!
It becomes art on the wall imho
My problem is i want to keep the games and the manuals together. So I probably wont do this. But i like the idea!
That is an awesome idea! I never even thought of doing this before.
I’ve never seen this idea before. Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome. Earned yourself a sub. Thanks for bringing this idea and growing it!
You can also tear the pegs off by heating them with a lighter and then cutting them with scissors. Very easy, leaves little damage, just let it dry for a few minutes before getting the display ready.

Interesting. Hmmmmm 👍🙂Nice video.Its amazing what you can do with a cassette case.Yeah I agree , those cassette racks can be costly.
Awesome idea...glad your back for good
I am man! Life is stable and I’m in this for the long haul
that display does look amazing for sure!
That was just fantastic man! gonna have to try that myself! GOD bless.
you just earned a subscriber because of your tidy collection!
Thank you! My shelves are pretty tidy... hehehe.
I've decidedd to go this route with my collection. I've just got some cassette boxes so far and I have to say, even without labels they look pretty baller (although of course you can't identify the game if you stack them up). Maybe because they look like how they encase games in retro stores in Japan, if you've ever seen that.
Do you still have your games in cassette boxes?
So very excellent Chris!
Awesome vid! Very informative and concise. Glad to see you're uploading videos more frequently again!
Ya I don’t want to talk to much... I want to just get to the point
I feel like I’ve waited five years for this video. 🙌🏻
Well... 4
This has blown my mind! I would imagine this might work for the Master System card games as well? I bet Disk Cart would love this!
Sounds like something he’d like for sure!
Yes! I've been hoping you'd do a video on the cassette cases
I actually filmed this in 2014 so I almost did it back then
That's a great idea. I'd never come across that one before. Looks great man!
I never thought about that!! wow. I am going to cover my neo geo pocket games
That is an awesome way to make your collection look so good.
I never heard of that. Looks fantastic!
Thank you so much for this crafty idea
This will definitely be my 2019 project once I complete making the boxes for N64. Great video man and thanks for the tips!
Had no idea your channel was alive! I’ve been a subscriber for years and I’m glad you’re still uploading. Also didn’t know you had a Patreon until now so I became a patron! Hopefully my $5 helps you create more content!

I have not visit your channel a long time I thought you quit making videos long time ago I'm glad to see you're back
Hey! Thank you sooo much for watching! I’ve been back for a few months Stay tunes for everything I’m working on!!!
NESComplex if you don't mind me asking what happened to you during a short time you stop making videos

Interesting. I have a few gameboy games and these cassette cases may do the trick. Great video.
wow that looks SO excellent
What brilliant music track is playing during the end credits?
Don't know if he answered but Castlevania 3:Flashback
@@CAPCOM784 thank you!!
Thank you Chris! This is incredible!
Absolutely!
Awesome idea! Can't wait to do this!!!
Beautiful collection bro
That's a very cool idea. I have to have my Turbo Chips (Hu Cards) in the cd cases but if I ever did collect loose that does look pretty cool.
Thansk for the great video, so much less space than DS cases.
For sure! They’re much cheaper too
Ive had this idea ratteling around in my head also but it would be to display my digital game library so i could see them in the collection as well. Great video! Short sweet and to the point. Great use of sound effects also.
Thank you! I like to get to the point. When I’m watching videos I always appreciate it when a channel gets to the core and tries to make it fun too
Those look fantastic. Great work! and Thanks for sharing
You're videos are SO well-made. o.o
Thank you so much!! :-D
Love it! This looks so unreal!
Thank you! Yes they’re amazing:-)
After watching this vid I purchased the cases and downloaded the files :-) I can't wait to get this up in my games room. I don't have a cassette rack but I'll make do on the shelf until I track one down. Not a lot of things like that in Australia for display :-)
brilliant idea...surprised this doesn't have more views
Thank you! It’s new so it will in time
Dude! This is so awesome!
Great video and good on you for keeping the retro games feelings like new!
Very neat might try it myself.
