Well I was using a crappy Word document and wanted something easier.  Right around that time someone made a thread on AtariAge about video game tracking software and one of the suggestions was this site from tpugmire.

Google for me... Was scrounging around on the internet over a year ago and tried Backloggery for a quick second but decided that the design and community for VGC was much more preferable!

I was looking for an android app. I was reading reviews on some random pay app and some suggested the vgcollect app. I found the app then I found the site. A huge bonus being that the firewall at work lets me come here. I waste a lot of work time on this forum.

My boss doesn't like me coming here.

Then again I am my own boss.

I think I Googled "video game collection database" or something to that effect after the previous website I belonged to (listal.com) no longer suited my needs.  It was a multi-functional site where you could make lists and also pertained to movies, tv shows, books, etc.  It had a user-contributed database/image function, and that was its downfall.  The first few years I was active on it, people actually used it for its intended purpose, but then a lot of traffic from Google and other sites eventually turned it into a porn site.  I deleted all of my lists, etc. and moved here since video games were my primary interest anyway.  I had tried out The Backloggery, but found that VGC suited me better.  :)

I was trying for a couple of years to find a good database site, but Google was never able to find anything where I could make my own lists; all it ever brought me was to people that made their own blogs showing off their own collection... So I was using the classic "make a Word/Excel document" to keep track of all I had, but it was always a mess and it would have been a pain to put all the details on everything...

So, about a week ago, Google threw me a bone and sent me to VGC... and it's exactly what I was looking for. A super detailed but still easy to manage and modify collection database.

For now we've been telling folks to try using the mobile site. http://mobile.vgcollect.com

That's what I've been using to check my wishlist on the go, until we can get the app updated. Works great for me, of course I never find anything on my wishlist in the wild though, so...

I was looking for some kind of video game collectors list, program type thing to try and help me keep track of what games I have. As I collect games from at least 15 different systems it's hard to remember what games and accessories I have for them. I stumbled across this site, and well I was originally looking for a program to download, this site was so much better then anything else I looked at, better organized and user friendly. I was hooked, and as an added bonus, a forum full of fellow game collectors to talk with. :)
