Syncoplay | 11 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Hey everybody! I'm brand new to the forum, and typically I wouldn't be the guy who joins a forum just to promote his Kickstarter - but since admin invited me to do just that... here I am I've been collecting games for over 30 years, and the majority of them are loose carts. Instead of creating Universal Game Cases or some other way of putting them in aftermarket boxes, I decided to create a display stand to show off the original label art - this was about three years ago, and ever since then more and more people have wanted to use them in their own game room. Enough people that 3D printing stands in my basement is no longer a viable option... ... so I'm Kickstarting a factory run!  Retro Game Stands from Syncoplay (Link) I've attached a few pictures from my game room - I really like the way it looks, and I've been using them for three years now for games that I play regularly so I know it's easy to access and play all of my games as well. Feel free to hit me up with any questions you might have, and if you just want to see more about the stands or my game collection you can find it on my YouTube channel or on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing what you think - Joe 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo | 2,266 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I seen these a week ago I think. I’m waiting this Friday to write my next paycheck to back this  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 12,251 Administrator · Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I saw these on KS and was like "VGS folks would like this" but I figured broheem might wanna be able to speak to it himself so here he is. Seems handy if you have cart only games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,344 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 These are interesting. If space in my game room wasn’t so valuable I’d buy a few to display my trophies. It’s not so much the way they would fit across but how they take up more vertical space, I’d have to space my shelves further apart.  Neat product though, the best of luck to you!

BortLicensePlate | 652 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I wonder how these would look with boxed games, probably wouldn't be very practical though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus | 4,100 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I’m with Bert.  I’d sure like something like this for my boxed games. I hate having those Big Beautiful Boxes and having them crammed on a shelf with just the side logo showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularGuyGamer | 2,042 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 +1 for box displays. I'd love a way to display the boxes facing front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Monkey | 2,129 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Neat idea, if it wasn't on Kickstarter I would like some. That's too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Monkey | 2,129 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 For anyone that wants to display boxes facing forwards, I use these on my shelves to display action figures. They're great and fit perfectly in an Ikea Detolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etsy is an online marketplace with its own checkout system, and the primary source of items for sale is people who *make* things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had someone tell me a while ago they owned an Etsy store. I knew Etsy was some website so until now I thought they owned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 5,006 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Looks amazing, and I love your game room. Ideally if I had my own house I'd love to display my carts using these; however, with 3000+ loose carts, I'd likely never be able to afford it haha. Good luck with your project though!

A few repro and homebrewers use it. A lot of bespoke (made to order) stuff is on there, too. Edited September 10, 2020 by Tulpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
