Game Collecting Software

http://www.allgame.com/ I'm surprised more people don't know of this site.

I use the backloggery for everything game related, and delicious library when I really feel like micromanaging every detail of my products (and keeping track of manga/comics) The barcode reader sadly isn't as reliable as I'd want, so I have to set aside a whole day that I'm home alone if i ever want to keep track of my comic book collection from years ago (it's in the hundreds D8 )

Yeah, I sometimes find it troublesome to scan in poor light sometimes. However, I found out that Amazon searches all fields including barcode number. So if you add a new item (Cmd+N) and then type in the number under the barcode then it will find it instantly.

For example, if you hit cmd+N and then type 5055060950005 (takes about 2 seconds do read and type once you get fast enough) then it will instantly come up with Resident Evil for the Gamecube.

However, I'm presuming support for comic books is no where near as comprehensive as games, books, dvds and cds.

Hey, does anyone here still use Game Collector Pro? I stopped using it a few months ago because it didn't list the games alphabetically, by system. Does anyone know if this can be done? Maybe I just had an out-of-date version? Any help with this would be nice. Thanks.

I use The Backloggery for my games, as well.

I haven't used it some time either. I was never satisfied with searching the net for release dates or publishers/developers. But I know that in the time I used it it listed my games by system and alphabetically. I don't know if it did from the start or if you can adjust it in the program's preferences but it's definitely possible.

I use RF Generation myself. It's a great collection tool and a great community.

Kudos for the heads up about the backloggery. I've been using http://club.ign.com/ till now, but I'm switching over to Backloggery now that I know about it.

I had never even considered the concept of commercial game collection software. But since it exists, I may have to look into it. Right now, I'm using an Excel spreadsheet.

How does the Game Collectorz work with older games like Saturn and Sega CD.

Also, what do you do with Gameboy, NES, ect when you don't have the boxes? Can you also access your list online or through PDA?

club.ign.com has always been my top pick.  It has everything.

I use Data Crow, it can goto any one of many (it has scripts that allow you to use various sites) sites like Amazon.com and others for game information.  You can also change anything like the preview pic to your custom lable so you know what to look for.
Also, it is free.

Bump.

I want to update my game collection. My Backloggery has fallen behind. At this point, I've used IGN, CAG, Backloggery, Libra and (IIRC) VGR.

I'm not really tied to any of those, but I want to use the "best" one. The main criteria is it has to track if I have beat a game or not.
