So today the mail brought me my 700th NES cart.



I've been after this one since i regrettably left a copy sitting at a garage sale years ago for $5.

im glad i got this cart at a milestone mark.

in case you were wondering, this is what 700 NES games in 700 NES clear clamshells looks like.

Congrats! And with a big whopper, too. Good deal.

Whoa, are those all OEM clamshells? That's a feat, amassing so many of those, too. Rad. I like your shelving.

my SNES collection is in blue NES clamshells, and i was going to put my N64 collection into yellow NES clamshells...  but then i realized that yellows were damn hard to find.

at one time i had like 150-ish N64 clamshells,  but they took up too much shelf space, so i sold em off.

Congrats!

Quick question, are those clamshells transparent enough that you can read the titles without opening them?
If not, sheesh!

You can see through them well enough but you have to be standing right in front of them to do so.

I believe he got another member to make labels for them. Could've been someone else though

Congrats! It's always fun to hit those big milestones like that! Even better when it's a great game like Panic Restaurant. Such a fun game.
