Atari 2600 sturdy plastic games cases anyone?

Postby matmico1 » February 7th, 2015, 9:16 pm

Hey All,

I recently purchased an old Atari 2600. This was the system I grew up with and I am luving the memories of playing these classic games with the classic joystick and paddle controllers. I am starting to amass a large library of 2600 games. I would like to have them in sturdy plastic cases that I recently bought some in, but he is out. I am not interested in just breakable plastic sleeves, but quality game cases that will fit Atari 2600 cartridges. I can print my own artwork for them. Does anybody know any retailer online or offline that sells cases for this?

Thanks

hmm.. I thought that eBay might sell some since there are always custom cases going around for other consoles. I did a search and nothing... I guess the market for custom cases aren't the same for the 2600 carts. If you can't find any online I bet you could shoot some private messages to some of the sellers of NES, SNES, Genesis (there are a ton of them) on eBay. I'm sure someone would be willing to make you custom 2600 cases if you were going to order a mass amount of them.

Here is the only place I found online that sells them (I just did a google search, there are probably more):

Having a large collection of Atari cartridges, I couldn't imagine storing them all in boxes.

What I have are black, stackable plastic drawers they sell at places like Home Depot.  These are just the right size, allowing me to arrange them in alphabetical order with the labels facing up.

Dave, thanks for the heads up. Can You send me a pic of the type of stackable plastic drawers so I know what to look for at Home Depot? Thanks
