great video, though I found it funny that you had the snes games like that, since the shelf below was game boy carts and about half the shelf area above them were empty. It would have been very feasible to just adnist the shelf down a notch and flip the games to the sides.
Great video, man. I also like the idea of using TheCoverProject with universal game cases and print-out case covers, though its much more expensive and takes up more shelf space.
Yeah, I get it. I kinda have a similar problem with my Sega Saturn games, well, not similar but it has to do with custom made labels and covers. Those plastic cases of the saturn NTSC-U games are shit, and brake very easily, and are becoming more rare and expensive, so I rather buy a loose disc and print a cover myself in a generic DVD case that pay for a complete Saturn game, specially here in Brazil.
Cool idea! I thought about doing something similar with my 64 games using artist's tape, which is essentially the same thing as painters tape - no residue leaving stickiness stuff. Painter's tape is probably cheaper than artist's tape, though :/ Great video! :D
Not only do 32x cartridges lack an end label, but they came in card boxes (much like most Nintendo games) so it's very difficult to find them boxed. Rather strange when Master System and Mega Drive games had end labels and durable plastic cases. By the way Adam, did you back the Pier Solar HD Kickstarter?
Great video. Admittedly this is a really cheap idea, but you can also buy sheets of labels that are 100% removable by (Avery), Be sure the pack says removable & not permanent. Doing so allows you to use a printer to print tons of labels per sheet. A paper cutter or scissors and your set to go.
I like the idea, but that's a lot of blue. What about buying sticker sheets for your PC printer and print out some typed labels, in which you could put sweet logos on them? I know the sheets are not that expensive.
make a nice end label on your computer and print it on a nice sticker... now here is the idea of the century, put the label onto the tape and cut tape to the size of the label and then sick it on, so you can take it off just like it is tape but looks like a nice sticker...
If you really wanted wanted to invest on replacing labels, I'd recommend thecoverproject(dot)net. They have a nice replacement printout for the UMK3 label you're missing if you had a label maker.
or you can make them covers, its a bit more expensive (around 1 per cover) but it looks great in shelves. if you are interested visit the cover project dot net
I know. Being a dick on the internet is fun! Seriously though, the painters tape idea was good. I'd probably have tried normal masking tape, but I think that might just stick too well.
Cheers for the heads up adam !
Well welcome, and thanks for watching.
Does masking tape work, or does sharpie bleed through?
Thanks for watching.
Woohoo! Finally someone I know who also writes left-handed!
Awesome, now my cartidges look good and my labeld looks better now, thanks
Happy to help.
Do you have a link for the pre-made stickers shown in the beginning of the video?
great video, though I found it funny that you had the snes games like that, since the shelf below was game boy carts and about half the shelf area above them were empty. It would have been very feasible to just adnist the shelf down a notch and flip the games to the sides.
Nice collection
What about using a label maker instead of the tape ?
I might try this sometime then but I don't have alot of loose cartridges, most of my cartridges still have the box so I keep them in they're boxes.
keep the boxes?
I've been using it for a long time with no issues.
Great video, man. I also like the idea of using TheCoverProject with universal game cases and print-out case covers, though its much more expensive and takes up more shelf space.
adam can you name a place that makes nice end labels
I pre-ordered and got the Day 1 Rubber Gloves DLC and 10 Bonus Semen samples!
Those are ghetto labels. That is quite ugly. Won't you rather buy some high quality pre-made labels?
Of course. But high grade labels are rather expensive, this is not. It's just an option I wanted to make people aware of.

Thanks man.
i use a label maker and that works great but i never thought to use painters tape

This helped me
Are your N64 games white, or is that just the light you used for the camera?
I use an old Dymo hand label maker for N64 carts.
More time consuming, but still cheap and looks great.
Not only do 32x cartridges lack an end label, but they came in card boxes (much like most Nintendo games) so it's very difficult to find them boxed. Rather strange when Master System and Mega Drive games had end labels and durable plastic cases.
By the way Adam, did you back the Pier Solar HD Kickstarter?
Thanks.
Yes, one of the rarest games.
and the lose one I keep in a casset tape storage box, Genesis games surprisingly fit perfectly in casset tape storage boxes.
how much cartriges does exist???
Yes.
This made me laugh. Thank you.
Thanks for this i can label some N64 games now.

Game of the Year Edition is the best. They added support for pigs and horses.
It's not like I throw out the boxes bud, but more commonly than not all you can find are loose cartridges.
Well obviously it could look better, just like I said in the video.
But this is a cheap and convenient solution.
No problem.
That's exactly why I recommend painter's tape. It's designed to never leave a residue and be easily removed.
Good.
Could also print labels that you could stick onto the painters tape. Nice labels without being hand written that still will come off.
Yeah, that would be good too. But it would involve a lot more money.
I try to answer as many as possible.
Sure thing.
Hm nice video, some of the games i buy on fleamarket, gameshops and ebay has heavy destroid labels, so i can "repair" it now, thanks.
Sure thing.
Well there you go, that's a good idea too.
Post it notes trimmed to the adhesive part would also work.
Painter's tape leaves no residue.
should have used fine tip marker or pen i think. i think even that tape is hard to get off after awhile.
I like the idea, but that's a lot of blue. What about buying sticker sheets for your PC printer and print out some typed labels, in which you could put sweet logos on them? I know the sheets are not that expensive.
Various places. I keep everything usually.
Thrift stores can be a gold mine.
Often EBay is the best place though.
You certainly could, but that would start to get expensive. The printer ink in particular. I just wanted to do this for as little money as possible.
I know. you're right. I'm supprised that you answer my comment ;D
Lmao how do you feel about this now 10 years later? I love when random old videos pop up 😂
I mean, it still works.
@@AdamKoralik 😂
Obviously that's the superior choice, but not necessarily a practical one.
No, I just Googled custom end labels and that came up.
Yeah...
I need some super famicom end labels.
I just ran across your video and any kind of masking tape will work. that's basicly what painters tape is.
`thnx bro
make a nice end label on your computer and print it on a nice sticker... now here is the idea of the century, put the label onto the tape and cut tape to the size of the label and then sick it on, so you can take it off just like it is tape but looks like a nice sticker...
I did this years ago with a label maker and it left residue on my cartridges so I don't do this anymore.
wtf is the snes earthbound thing???
it's rare or something?
More often than not people are playing a ROM of it.
yay!!!
Just the way it appears due to the lighting.
It is also called "masking tape" in some places, or "painters masking tape".
For my pal Snes games I just used run of the mill sticky labels.
Well, the whole point is to make it more convenient.
I did.
Perfect dark
i prefer universal game cases with custom covers from the coverproject, just looks so fucking nice
Why not just stack the carts on top of each other with the labels facing out? Its not like its that big of deal to move a stack to get a game out. :-)
It's a cheap solution, but it works.
I don't mind, even trolls need to eat.
its about 1 dollar per cover, (40 cents the plastic, 15 cents good paper, 20 cents ink) and worth it, you should definatly check it out
150,000 were produced, far fewer would still exist. Maybe a few thousand.
i have power rangers as well and it is an awesome game.
Yeah, obviously only do that for loose ones.
lol my surround label is ruined as well
i love snes dont know everything about it never played that game but i know about it being rare lol wow someone like you would sell it off for a buck
: Rolls eyes. :
Get some narrower tape and you can eliminate the cutting step.
If you really wanted wanted to invest on replacing labels, I'd recommend thecoverproject(dot)net. They have a nice replacement printout for the UMK3 label you're missing if you had a label maker.
As cool as that would be, I was just going for the cheap and quick solution.
Obviously that would be better, but far more expensive.
I used a label maker.. Bit more expensive but easier I reckon:-)
It's just painter's tape.
you can just print out the labels of the games and stick the on
I AM LEFT HANDED
I’ve thought of just using a label maker it’s naturally white and clear
No neat handwriting required
Label makers can leave a lot of adhesive behind, but yeah obviously you can.
@@AdamKoralik yeah I’ve heard that
Though we have eucalyptus oil in Australia to solve that problem lol
About $150 just for the cartridge, if your going hardcore, and you want it sealed, thats $900+.
or you can make them covers, its a bit more expensive (around 1 per cover) but it looks great in shelves. if you are interested visit the cover project dot net
I have a roll of electrical tape which is perfect size for N64 games.
Tony Hawk's pro skater for the N64 is a blue cartridge.
Zelda OOT gold cartridge
I know. Being a dick on the internet is fun!
Seriously though, the painters tape idea was good. I'd probably have tried normal masking tape, but I think that might just stick too well.
Cattle Insemination Simulator 1999, here I come!
avgn approves
@AdamKoralik
I mean it looks not too esthetically-the idea with stickers
This is cool do not no how i got here.
