Its nice having a list of my entire collection on my phone when I am out hunting. And yes, before I started keeping everything cataloged I did buy a duplicate copy of a game here and there without realizing I did it until I got home. Also, It helps keep track of what games I got complete or missing the manual (I care about manuals) etc. Also, RF Generation is free. |

Out of necessity I just had to move into a older home with pretty scary wiring, and in a pretty crappy neighborhood. So fire or theft are two possibilities. Knowing a general value and exactly what I have would be nice, also if I would like to get insurance especially for my collection at some point. After going threw I saw games I didn't realize I had, and didn't see games I thought I had, I'm also doing inventory on all my cable and accessories so I know what I can sell (have 10 total genesis decks, 5 NES decks, etc) |

Also - since starting to collect in earnest, i realised just how many games i used to have, that are no longer in my collection - i don't know quite where, who, or how they went missing, but having them cataloged gives me peace of mind. (Although i am sure they were just lent to people and forgotten about either while the systems were current, or after i acquired a new system and lost interest in the older one, and now i don't know anyone that collects retro shit) |

Im at 1800+ games and thats just stuff I want for certain systems. I cannot even fathom if I were to collect more systems and or most games for systems lol. (noticed your 199 games for N64, I have 78 and thats everything I could possibly even consider wanting for that system for example) Hell, I think I have a few boxes of atari, intellivision, colecovision , prob like 200 games, as well as 20 or so SMS games, Those I dont collect for and are not even added or accounted for lol. @shoothimnow - I like the idea of adding strat guides to game collector but doesn't it count under your total games list? Im sure anal about that # and it has to be 100% legit,I even deleted my PC titles whether they were digital or physical lol |
