Video Game Collection Phone Apps..

[KMSoulja]

Do you use an app on your phone to track your connection?
There's one I found called "My game collection" on android.

I've already entered my whole connection so if you download it you can use this link to view my collection. You have to pay $2.50 for the pro version though to view my backup and to get rid of the ads. Its free to try though. And everything is fully customizable.

I like it and I think it it's a very useful tool since I have too many games to remember them all and it helps me know which games I already have and don't when I'm out hunting for games. Just thought I'd share with you guys.

I uploaded my collection to RFGeneration a while ago.  Their app isn't phenomenal, but it gets the job done, and it's very useful to be able to just link people on a standard website.

I still swear by the collectorz.com suite



New version on iPad even has trailers and ads for some games.

Does collectorz have an annual fee or a one time purchase price?

[sheep2001]

Unfortunately it's a subscription service.  For about $25 a year.

I think you can still access your database offline without the subscription, but won't get cloud synch or app updates.

Bah, dammit.  It looks really good, and I almost ordered the pro version.  But I don't need this, and a one time fee is one thing, but I don't think I could do an annual fee just to do something I do in excel already for free.  thanks for the info!

This is sort of my line of thinking.

Does your excel sheet import covers, synopsis, ads,etc,etc? lol

I know that's all just frills, but I guess it's the frills I'm paying for. Besides its only like 50cents a week.

My Excel sheet does 100% of what I want it to do.

I used this to track my N64 collection while going for the set. Let's you add games, which is nice. Had some random PAL games on the complete US list, but it lets you hide/suppress them, so I was able to adjust my list to the 296 US games plus the 4 JP games I own (even let's you add pics of games which you add to the roster). I think it was a few bucks. Worth it IMO.

I was trying to use the sms collector app from puregaming.org, but it's a mess of different regions, the price guides are way out, and it had a few valid releases missing.  Nice idea, but badly executed unfortunately.

For N64 or another system?

The version I have had all of the US releases (and a handful of random PAL releases for whatever reason)

I don't really care about value, so I've never checked on its accuracy.

I just put all the US releases in my wanted list and removed them as I found them.  It work really well that way.  I recently updated all of those puregaming apps and I lost all my data for Nes, Snes, Gamecube, and Master System.  What a pain in the ass.

I use RFGeneration app and it works for me

All this stuff really makes me wish there was an app version of the Backloggery, since that's what I use. I haven't gone hunting for games for a couple of years though, since I have most of the games I "need" for my collection and there are no more retro gaming stores where I live. I've never really been one for garage sales, so my only other options are the one flea market several miles away or the internet, which means I don't need to go far to see my collection. I'll take a look at some of these though. My phone could always use another app.
