How do you inventory your collection?`

[Cover-Rose]

I tried different apps and have bought the VG Collection Tracker Pro. While not perfect I liked it much more than any other app. Most of them seemed to be missing many games in their database and the only games I needed to add myself were my own games. Pretty much everything else was just a click away. I could even create new plattforms for my PC Games (I have them in 1990-2000, 2001-2010 etc) and things like that.

I also used their option to customize Themes/Tags/EveryStat for an better Overview for original packaging, Reproduction carts etc.

Speaking of Computer games and the like....
does anyone catalog their digital  purchased games?
Personally I don't count it as part of my collection total because they are not physical, but what do you guys think?

They are included in my database, but not counted towards my physical total.  My physical total is the number I use when referring to my total game collection.

I've got a checklist for my progress on SNES and N64 games, as I'm trying to complete the entire NA game + manual collection. That works pretty well to see what I need going forward, but I also have plenty of other consoles. For those, I keep a huge Excel file with a running tab of what I paid for each game and what an estimate of my collection cost me/is worth

I am shocked to see people still using excel and word to track this.

Why?  It works perfect.  It may not be for everyone, but there is literally no downside to using it (referring to Excel, not Word).

I'm shocked just because there are a LOT of alternatives which don't require that you manually input ALL of the data.  I would NEVER make a spreadsheet of my own.  Just waaaaaaaaay too time-consuming.

I use Excel for a tracking my collection also, I just copied and pasted a list from someone that already did the leg work on imputing the game names.  I also use gamefaqs collection builder to help keep track of my collection as well.

I dont inventory my collection anymore

I just use a spreadsheet through open office and add to it when I get a new game.  Don't care about value unless I'm selling something, so I don't track that at all.  Just make a note if it's missing something or is some sort of special edition.  Then take pictures as well.  Usually just snap a quick one with my phone whenever I add a new game (which isn't super often anymore).  The pics are more for proof of ownership in case of loss in some sort of accident or disaster, so mainly for insurance compensation.
