Framing/displaying Video Games

[Robert Martino]

Does anyone know how to frame games?
Or any places or online stores that could potentially sell Frames that could frame games.
Like a Frame for a Standard Size DVD case, or a frame for a NES Game?
I want to hang/display some of my favorite games up on my wall In my game room.

And If not, does any one have creative ideas - displaying there prized games lol ?

Would a shadow box work? Craft stores like Michaels carry tons of sizes, maybe that might work.

I have a friend who works for an artist that does layered pictures, so the type of frames they use (they make theirs custom, but I'm sure they're out there off-the-shelf) would likely work for a standard dvd case, they're kinda thicker than normal... UGC/NES sized box though, yeah you're gonna hafta either completely custom make something or go with a shadow box methinks.

This is EXACTLY what I was going to suggest when I clicked on this thread.

Keep an eye out at dollar stores too. I picked up a shadow box perfect for a sealed PS1 game at my local dollar tree.
I've seen slightly larger ones there in the past as well.

This is SO weird! I was actually thinking something along these line the last few weeks for myself! 

Mine would be slightly different. Instead of a frame I would use an actual game box or case. It's kind of hard to explain so let me show you.



So these little guys would come either as 4 sided, 2 sided (edge), or 1 sided (corner) I would think I would make them either clear or lack plastic. With these you'd literally be able to place your entire collection on the wall and could easily take out a game to play right off the wall. I'd make them cheap so you could buy em in like a 25pc pack or something....

are they 2 pieces? Cause it looks like screwing\nailing them would be a hell of a pain, and with the fronts, it'd stop you from reaching the screws.

Actually, if you look closely, when the holder is open to both sides of one corner (Where the screw hold is located) it creates a square around where the mounting holes are located. So all you would have to do is open all for corners and then place the screws in the holes.

Another idea would be to give them adhesive backs that would be able to peel off whenever you are finished with them. (I'm sure ya'll have seen plastic clips like this in the stores, to hold things like washcloths and key rings)
