How to move 30 games down 90 degree stairway

I had to carry around 50 back up a set of stairs...no turns...but tight fit getting through the top of the basement door and into kitchen...so lots of fun..I was kind of lucky..I had a door in basement that led to backyard but there were some stairs there too and tight fit so only some of the games would fit and could go out that way...the other ones had to go up about 12 stairs...Exidy games and Atari were the best..heavy ass cabs.
 
The houses that I buy I make sure it is easy moving games in and out of the basement. My old house I had a walk out basement with sliding glass door that only opened 30 inches. So a replaced the door with a inswing french door so I had a 6 ft opening to move stuff in/out. Could not drive a vehicle to the back yard. So I poured a sidewalk all the way from the front driveway to the back patio to make it easier with a appliance dolly. It was still a pain moving heavy games up the slope with the dolly since it was a walkout lot.
The new house I just built I made sure that I could drive right up to the back door of the walkout basement. Also installed a 6' wide inswing french door but made sure the door was extra tall at 7'5. That helps moving the tall games in/out easier.
 
From the top. Left this area unfinished. I was expecting some damage from the move and will finish it later

From the bottom. Note the wall to the right and the post at the bottom of the stairs. It was cut out to get the games in

No one called Peter Pack Rat yet?
 
I have a 180 turn in my basement stairs. MK2 was the biggest game that I've tried (without monitor). This is no way those games are going back up those stairs. The basement is a walkout, so my next step is to have concrete steps poured from the back yard up to the driveway, which is a steep climb, but at least a straight shot.
 
I will buy the crossbow and turkey shoot at a steep discount :)
Also, when is the grand opening party? o_O
