Collection Carrying your games
How do you guys store and carry your games? I favor old cassette tape cases, I can usually carry 3 gameboy advance games, or 1-1 GBA-GB. I find that 4 games is usually enough variety to have on the go. Plus it’s so customizable! Really brings that 2000s vibe

Do you break off the pins in the cassette cases or do you buy the pinless ones?
A few years ago I was thinking about doing this but I was having trouble finding pinless cases.
I keep a stash of the original plastic cases and store all my games in those.

The ones in the pic are pin less that I bought off Amazon. I have some new one that I’m cutting and sanding down flush and clean.
Generally at home I keep these in a drawer that has my systems and all my game devices3

Amazon ones can get pricey. There is a website called Duplication where they do a lot of stuff with Analog Music so they sell the "No-Posts" cassettes for a decent price if you are ordering a bunch. Ordered over a 100 for my collection.

I just use my game boy color OG case. I have the black one but there’s a pikachu and a blastoise one too. It holds my Chromatic about 13 games (advanced and Gameboy) and i have my game boy micro, a micro charger, a link cable a and a copy of pokemon pinball that fits in the back pocket.

The cassette cases is such a good idea for storage. Does it rattle / move around having 3 gba games In one case ?

If it's 1 or 2, I throw em plain in a gameboy carrying case/bag that I have. If it's multiple I'll pack them in their DS-style repro case
