The other thing that sorta bums me out is the complete lack of color in the spine. I feel like just a hint of color would really give these the little "oomph" they need to stand out.
Hope you don't mind me putting in my .02

When you print out the games physically it's not as bad, but I do see what you mean. I will probably use black text with a white stroke for the more dense back covers like Earthbound and leave the whtie text with a black stroke for the less dense backs like the mortal kombats.
I see what you mean about color, though I like them being grey scale. I was considering figuring out the entire snes library, putting them in order according to alphabetical-ness, and assigning them a color so that as you get more and more games the Super NES side logo forms a gradient rainbow. But I didn't for a couple of reasons.
1. It becomes awkward where you put certain games alphabetically, do you put Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 in the U's or do you put it in the M's so it can be next to mortal kombat 1, 2, & 3? (I would put it with the M's, some would with the U's)
2. Yellow would be hard to see on a white background.
3. I'm not going for a full collection so it would look awkward on my shelf.
4. What do you do about Rom hacks and Reproductions that have been put on the snes?
5. I have no idea how to make a rainbow gradient and then divide it into the 780ish games that is in the snes library.
