Kane99 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 What are some of the good services that I can use to catalog the games I have? Maybe even list what games I'm playing and so on. I know there are sites that let you catalog your games, but what are the best ones out there currently? Do you guys have any suggestions for ones I should sign up to? I just want something that's easy to search with, has pretty much every game imaginable in their databases, and so on. I would like to have features that share rarity of the game as well, and maybe what it's estimated to be worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I don't catalogue all the games I own given how many there are and how many hundred I won't ever play given they were purchased upon impulse. However, I use The Backloggery to keep track of games I've completed which is a much flashier means than the Wordpad document I had in 2020. It's useful for compiling some basic reviews rather than the more in-depth write-ups I do for r/patientgamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to find another way of tracking my games so I'll definitely check out Backloggery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I just type them up in Notepad alphabetically and by system. That works well for me, and I can print it out anytime I want so that when I go out, I can take a list with me to ensure that I don't buy a game that I already have. I did that with The Reckoning and ended up with 4 copies of the damn game because I kept forgetting that I already had the fucking thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to do that myself, but I like having an app where I can also mark off what games I'm playing. And I like the idea of having a list on my phone for easier access on the go.

It's pretty handy because I've also started using although sometimes I do tend to forget it's there but it's pretty easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have actually open up the website and with the little things that I have seen already, I'm impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
