Hi, I'm new!

Anyway, I don't really mind when my friends touch my collection.  I enjoy collecting, but I'm not to the point where I'm wearing dust-free suits in a vaccuum or anything.  But then again, I don't really have anything that is more than a 5/10 in rarity, so maybe when I get those super rare things I'll feel differently.

But for now, grab a game, throw it in and we'll have some fun.  Just don't rip up my manuals for rolling paper.

I'm the same I don't really mind if people play the games just as long as they put them back in there right spot. I hate it when my games aren't in alphabetical order. Anyway I have 2 nephews that used to come over and play it a lot and they would leave my games everywhere and that really pissed me off so they have become banned from playing my nes games. But I let them play my 360 & PS3 so they don't mind.

That is part of the reason why I collect cart-only.  I would rather have people enjoying my games. It's also gotten to the point where I can't house the collection in it's entireity in one house, so they have never been in alphabetical order or otherwise.  I've got a hard copy checklist and an online one, so I can still figure out what I have and don't have.

I've got everything in alphabetical order on a bookshelf, but I only have limited room to insert new games. So every time I get new games I have to slot the new ones in and move my W-Z's down the shelves.

One other thing that hasn't been mentioned about wires is people that wind the wires around the controller, or RF switch. I can't stand that. I fold the wire over a few times and slap a rubber band around it. Wrapping wires kills me every time.

oops.  Meant to type compartment, or something similar.  I have a little over 500 unique titles, all cart-only.   I sometimes think about going back to collecting completes, but I really don't want to until I devise a good way to house them all in one spot.

I have all my boxes and manuals on a shelf with all my carts in those long shallow tupperware containers that slide under the bed.  I have three of those stacked up with all my carts in alphabetical order and each container labled on the outside (A-E, F-M, ect...).  I know where everthing goes and if someone wants to get something out to give it a go, I kick some ass at RBI Baseball or Tecmo Superbowl then it goes right back to R's or T's.  Just don't get more than a couple out at a time.  It is a pain in the ass to put them back up.  People only want to play common games they remember.  I have yet to have a buddy ask to play Caltron.
