    Living in Japan has many downsides but one of the biggest apart from a nagging wife is the lack of space. After 1 whole month of being told not to buy more games and to sell half the ones I had, I finally gave in. BUT there's no way in hell I'm selling my collection so I came up with this nice little plan which is actually working :)

    All the CD cases you can see below are from the games that are now in that tinny box. Thank God that Sega always use normal CD cases. Once we get a bigger place I can just put all the games back in to new cases which cost next to nothing anyway.

    The games are kept in these double sided sleaves. One side the disc, the other side the instructions. The back part sits nicely behind them.

    I'll be making another two of these boxes full of games tomorrow.

    Nope, DC games are staying as they are because even though the cases look like CD cases they don't actually have the CD Digital Audio stamp on them like normal cases do. I'll be putting the Mega CD stuff in to boxes though :( Sad thing to do but at least I can keep my collection :smt023

    I wish they had normal cd cases for games here instead of all those custom boxes, especially the dreamcast and playstation pal boxes are a pian in the arse :angry

    Oh btw is it just me or did you forget to take out 2 game backs from the cases ? (7th or 8th box from the top)

    Ah, that is the case for Revolution X. That game has really shitty quality instructions in Black & White !!! The Spine card is also really shiity looking and glued to the case ! The really odd think about it is that the japanese Revolution X was made in America. Why it was made there I don't know but it does explain why it has really shitty print for the covers, a spine card glued to the case and black & white instructions. I wonder if there are any other Japanese Saturn games that were made in the US.
