What games database do you use to catalog your collection?

[Porkchop]

Excel so I can take it with me on my Palm

[Lemmi_Is_God]

I used to keep track of my games by hand too, but I have a weird thing about when I hand write something. If I make a mistake I have to start fresh and can't stand any corrections or something out of alphabetical order.

my note pads are just for back up, i keep them on a floppy incase something goes wrong with the hard drive, i also put the CC files on a floppy when i update anything on it, the bar graph is something the cart commander makes for you

I like Game Collector alot!

[incubus421]

How about www.GameTZ.com collection pages? That works the best for me...nicely keeps track of not only the game, but the platform, box, manual, and condition.
I'm not sure how large the database actually is, but I have never had a problem listing any games there.
They even have lesser books, music, and movie collection databases as well. They work great and pose little problems to items not in their database. Even items that aren't found can be listed and viewed by you and others.

I'm pretty sure I use VGR.

[Neo Rasa]

I tried this on a number of different sites but almost all were lacking in some way or other.

So just Excel here. I also have a "site" with the same information in more linear form. Nothing fancy, just a text list on a white field.


Were I to go with the online database again though I'd use VGRebirth or RFGeneration though, no contest.

[j_factor]

I have it in a big giant .doc file.

GameTZ's collection system is tops IMO, and I'd use it if I wasn't lazy / didn't want to spend hours listing out 891 games.

I'm old school. I just manually make out long ass lists front/back on MS Word documents and print them out, then keep them in a filing cabinet.

Brah if you old school then that makes me ancient school =p

I didn't vote, simply because it's sorta 50/50 VGR and my own hand-written documents

I've written down every SNES purchase I've made since 1.17.06... my log is 60, 70 sheets, with lots of quirky little details and stories I've already long forgotten, but thanks to me writing it down, I've gone back and go "Oh wow, that's pretty neat"

e.g. I won Wolfenstein 3-D with a 1 second snipe, my max was 2.22 before I changed it to 2.27 at the last hour, and the auction ended at what? 2.25

that nickel made all the difference

To me, a hand-written log is personable and the way to go.

I'm suprised that RFGeneration is not on the list too.

I second that.

www.rfgeneration.com

[shoes23]

I use RFGeneration as well. I'd be curious to know how many "other" votes are for RFGen?

[Speedy_NES]

I'd be curious to know how many "other" votes are for RFGen?

Mine is I'm also surprised that it isn't listed in the poll.

It's very easy to add stuff to the RFGeneration database (it's pretty much updated on a daily basis), and everybody gets credited for their work/additions. Those that don't know about it should really check it out

[wallydawg]

+1 for more RF Generation love.

[Iron Draggon]

why is DP even a choice on this poll? it still doesn't work anymore now... DUH!

[captain nintendo]

www.rfgeneration.com for me.

[Zadoc]

Wow, I can't believe that I've never heard of RFGeneration before I posted this poll!

Clearly, shame is due onto me!

[Mezmoron]

Definitely Rfgeneration.com for me.

[JWKobayashi]

I agree that RFGeneration.com has the best collection tools.

[The Great Dane]

I use ign.com's. It works well enough for me.
