Do You Put Your Games In Alphabetical Order?

[KalessinDB]

No company ever believed in uniformity, apparently. They always have to have their stand out titles.

Ehhh... pretty sure there's a few that were uniform, but they're all small libraries, at least in the US: Virtual Boy, Sega CD, Saturn, Jaguar... but yeah, by and large they weren't uniform.

Though I'm not sure really if the companies in charge of the system were really to blame for that so much as the publishers.

Part of why I love this place:  The standardization.  I really really wish someone would undertake the task of standardizing Genesis covers to red stripe though.  Possibly enough so that I might try to learn gimp on my next stretch of time off, but the fact that there's a whine from my desktop's power supply (aka the only Windows machine I have currently) makes that less likely.

Sega CD actually had different covers too: http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=10811
32X on the other hand were all the same IIRC.

The original Night Trap was also in a red box.

I do sort mine alphabetically, with minor exceptions.  I do drop "A" and "The" from the title, and sequels that are subtitled are put in chronological order.

E.G. - Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones are filed exactly that way, though alphabetically "Warrior Within" should be last. 

This does not count if the sequel has a different name, such as "Zelda II: The Adventure of Link".  The name is not "The Legend of Zelda II", therefore it gets filed under Z.

So question, do you PS2 collectors file .hack games under # or d? I've seen both ways and actually have gotten lucky in finding those games for cheap when they're filed under d.

[tiamaxwell]

.hack is under #.

[Dr.Agon]

Surely they should be filed under H for hack!?

[sheep2001]

Surely they should be filed under H for hack!?

No! It's dot hack! Lol.  I'd put them at the beginning too. (If I had them)

[Dr.Agon]

Fine, then you'd file them under d for dot

[Polygon]

Yes, save for games in a series which may slightly deviate, which I will lump together.

This is how I do it as well.

Indeed, plenty were quite uniform.

Japanese and US saturn, Japanese Dreamcast, PS1, gameboy/GBC/GBA, n64,

I'm sure none were 1000% perfectly consistent, but quite close for the ones I named.

Virtua Fighter 2 for the Saturn.  They just HAD to be different.

Plus the pack in games that came in regular CD jewel cases. 

But you are right, 99% of Saturn was uniform.

Also, PS1 not uniform at all UNTIL they switched to CD jewel cases.  The long boxes had three different styles.

for the atari 2600,
put Ms. Pacman next to Pacman or under "M"?
"Realsport" games under "R" or the sport?
