Ok....besides having my nice, giant monolithic Mame cab sitting in my recroom/basement, I also have another thing I'd like to work with:
I have about 50 (or more) unopened Atari 2600/5200/7800, Intellivision and Colecovision cartridges....I got them from a friend, I doubt I'll ever open em, and so.....I figure its time to display them!
The problem is, I dont really want to do a shelf with carts on it....I was thinking of trying to find some way to affix them to the wall so their front facing art shows.....but....I'm still stumped.....at first I said "I'll use small L brackets and just rest them"..but those cart boxes aren't that big. Then, I was thinking maybe using Plate hangers. You know, little hooks with springs which which you can hang a wooden or artistic plate on the wall.......but thats gonna get real, real expensive....
So.....Any Ideas?

Hot glue or museum wax?
Perhaps rubber cement would be best. Should be able to peel it off later on down the road when you take them down.

Try this (http://www.3m.com/us/home_leisure/command/).
The strips all by themselves should hold a box with cart in it to the wall; but won't leave residue on the box, or mess up your wall.
I've used the ones with the hook to hold up 1 lb. Christmas decorations on my vinyl siding (which I cleaned quickly with alcohol, as suggested), and never had them fall off.
You should be able to get them at most department stores.
