Collecting Tips: Storing loose Game Boy, TG-16, and Genesis carts

Just a quick video showing you guys some quick collecting tips on different ways to store some of your games, namely handheld carts, TG-16 Hu-cards, and Genesis carts. Please note that not all handheld carts will fit in these sleeves and in some cases you may even have a hard time fitting regular Game Boy games in as well depending on your sleeves. Feel free to leave a comment on any tips you may have for storing these carts as well!

Interested in starting a 32X Collection?

Sega brought us the 32X, a gaming system billed as a 32-bit add-on for the Sega Genesis. In order to play the 32X's library of games it required that you already owned a Genesis as the 32X went into the cartridge slot and from there Genesis and 32X games would be inserted into the 32X itself. The sysetem is a mixed bag, including enhanced 16-bit titles that questioned the legitimacy of calling the 32X a true 32-bit system. Fortunately there were a few games that pushed the usage of polygons to try and show off the systems power.

In terms of collectability for the system, it is truly a niche system. It was not even out in the US for a full year before it was discontinued and as a result only 36 titles were ever released in the us, as well as 3 import exclusives from the UK and Japan. This makes collecting for the system pretty easy, as only a handful of titles should give you any trouble to track down.
