How do you organise your video game collection?

[Jen]

Pretty self-explanatory thread, to be fair. This stems from a conversation I had with someone who said the way I organise my shelves is weird. How do you guys store/organise your games?

My shelves are more like media stackers, with small square shelves for stuff, so I have to make use of the space well. This means that I organise games by console, and then by series/relating characters to make the most of the small spaces. I never thought this was weird until someone pointed it out to me, though.

How about you guys?

I have most of my games on a big 6ft tall bookshelf, organized by console (said console's year of release) and then alphabetically.
The only exception to that are my NES games, which I keep in a little cabinet with a glass door, all 78 of them just happen to all fit in there.

I use an old TV stand for both my consoles and my games/DVDs so... Yeah... They're not organized. Whatever I've played/watched last is on top lol.

I have DVD towers for all my PS4 games and Blu-Rays. After that, I keep all my old DVDs inside a drawer under my TV.

I have a big shelf for all my games and they're categorized by console, and separated by console generation, with the current generation always being on top, as that's what I'm more frequently adding to. After that, I have them ordered by consoles I play most/have more games for, so it typically goes Xbox, Nintendo, then Playstation. The games themselves are organized alphabetically, with exceptions made for series chronology.

I don't have any shelves for video games. They're all in my Steam library now (or Origin, for Sims and Mass Effect), and I can organise them whichever way I want.

Ha. Organize.

Seriously though, I just put them on a small bookshelf in my room, mostly by console.

I don't any shelves or anything fancy like that. But back when i used to have a console (PS1 and PS2) i used to have all my CDs and DVDs in a a wallet arranged by how frequent i play a game. Now i am like Hel.:lol:

I mostly arrange my games by platform and then by series, but for my three favourite series I stack the games up horizontally separating the platforms from each other.

A bit over the top... maybe? :lol:

^ That looks real nice, Hel! Nice statues and nicely organised. You have a lot of games, maybe more than I have. I have a lot.

I organize my games after hardware platform, then alphabetically. Are there other ways to do it? lol
If a game is in a series of games, I arrange them together and chronologically. I don't stack them on top of one another, I have them on a shelf side by side like books in a library.

Except the last few games I have played, they are stacked on the desk.
