I figure you could get a tub and label it “Atari 2600 Stuff” and put it in a central location (Star Wars room maybe?). Every time you encounter something Atari 2600 related, you put it in the tub. Once the tub gets nearly full you start organizing it: separate the consoles from the power supplies and joysticks, put all the power supplies in a ziplock bags (like your mom said) and then put the ziplock bags in the tub to keep things separate.

That’s more or less what I have been doing. Well, not lately, so I need to get cracking on my stuff too.

Trade secret: 1 and 2 gallon zip lock bags. All parts of an item are stored together. (Won’t work for the Ataris but it will for the radios) Now granted you may never be able to find the bag, but if you run across it, all its pieces will be there. I’ve had to resort to this for cameras, mp3 players, etc., for the same reason. Got tired of digging through the tub for the right cords, chargers, etc. Lord help me if they don’t get back into the closet though; I’ll never find where in the house I put them!
