I just completed an audit of about 95% of my games and I was shocked by the changes that I have made. I have found some games listed on the wrong systems, some games I don't own and then others that I had never entered into my collection!
My total game count before I started was: 2231
My total game count after I finished: 2282
That's an increase of 51 games!!!!
I am shocked and honestly a little ashamed that my numbers were THAT far off. In doing this I have also passed 2500 total items being tracked on the site. This will increase even more when I go through my art books/magazines.
Have you ever done an audit of your collection? What did you find from it?
-
I need to go through and double check everything in my collection. In all honesty, I know my PC games section is way off, but My PC games are so unorganized it's ridiculous. I need to clean my computer room though, so maybe while I'm at it I'll do a proper tally.
-
Im sure there are some items I havent added here (some wii games that belong more to my wife and kids, some random guides that I dont even have a matching game for, etc) but for the most part, my biggest thing has been removing stuff I have gotten rid of. I traded off one of my Atari sets a while back and didnt even realize til about a month later and it dropped my total by about 50 items.
-
Speaking of dropping total. It looks like I get to hit 1000 all over again! ha

My PC games are a total mess which is the last system that I have to go through but I'm saving that for another day!

Congrats?

My digital titles are a mess... I want to go through and check my physical collection anyway to make estimates on what replacement costs would be for insurance purposes.
I also have some digital bundle items that are not yet redeemed, and I'm not sure whether or to include those in my collection. I might toss them into the sell list so I remember that I even have access to them if I ever wanted to keep them. Or at least have a list for trade purposes.
I also realized just the other day that I forgot to add to my collection all the 3DS ambassador titles and a few PSN titles - so I'm probably a bit off from my reported number as well.
-
I don't even have 3% of my total PC collection listed here. The Steam list and most console systems are up to date, though, except for Sega Genesis and PC Download.
I actually started auditing my collection last month, it's just a pain finding all the missing artwork I need for these entries.
-
I did this back when I joined this site. It's been 9 months or so since I did. I need to go back and put my newly acquired NES game into my big alphabetized bins. When I do that, I'll give it another going over.
-
Congrats?
Ha, the funny thing is, I never finished entering all the info into the database for my Saturn games. So, as I pack them up I might need to do scans and input data into the site.
-
So far: Seven items that were not on my collection. Some were pretty surprising to see. Why weren't 24, Marvel Vs Capcom, We Love Katamari and Viewtiful Joe in my collection?
And EVE: The Lost One. I don't remember how I got that one.
Nine: Cool Boarders 4. I still remember buying this game, brand new, and I got it for a buck because the guy who sold it to me loves my business. I always buy tons of music off of him.

The one that surprised me the most was Dead in the Water. I bought it 5 or 6 years ago shortly after I started seriously collecting.

I finished going through my PC games today and I found another 8 games so I have increased my collection by 59 games! Thanks to games I already owned I am about to hit my goal for 2013 by hitting 2300 games :D
-
I have yet to finish.. Stuck between at PS3 and still have Xbox360, Wii, Gamecube, and PC...
-
I go though my games I listed and once in a while i Noticed I miss one or listed it twice. I'm sure if i look hard enough I'll find a goof. My biggest pet peeve is when I list something, someone else edits it and changes the picture to version I don't own and the person who does it doesn't even own the game. Or edit it to be in a different category. (like NES action set moved from NES/famicom hardware to Accessory) Then I have to change it back.
-
Went through another box. Found three more games, one of which was a 1999 re-release variant of Pandemonium! (http://vgcollect.com/item/38009) with two demos.
I also went and scanned the covers for Tekken 1 and 2 Greatest Hits. 'Cause why not.
-
Found another box...
Mort The Chicken (PS1)
Beatmania (PS1, EU)
Resident Evil (Original, jewel case variant)
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (No Dino Crisis demo variant)
Mega Man Legends (PS1)
Metal Gear Solid (PS1 - how was this not on my collection!?)
Hydro Thunder - Hot! New! (DC)
Evil Dead: Hail to the King (DC)
Skullmonkeys (PS1 - okay what the hell I know I entered this here ages ago.)
... and I think I'll stop here 'cause it's late. :P

Well the ball is moving nicely along on this whole house deal, and I think once I am in the process of unpacking I'm sure I'll be finding all sorts of stuff that isn't listed. So I'll be doing a full audit soon. D:

Thanks to kimimi for helping me with Sora no Kiseki the 3rd's Mandarin title. :)

How did you end up with that one anyway? Seems a bit random :)
-
The biggest errors i find from peoples collections is multiple copies of the same game, ya maybe they have multiple copies, but i think most are from double clicking from lag. so you may not have over 1000 games like you thought. lol
I always list my multiple copies (unless its a variation) in the sell/trade list.
-

The same way I ended up with a Korean Wing Commander Armada: It's totally random.
Actually, I pick up stuff from flea markets in Southern California. We get a LOT of items from the Bay Area / San Francisco region and that place is filled with immigrants from Asian regions. I've seen all sorts of mainland and South Asian stuff over the years, mostly music and videos, several books, and the random game. I just picked up the stuff that looks interesting. :)
And Sora no Kiseki was three bucks so who's complaining. I mostly wanted the soundtrack. XD
-
I found this game that I had totally forgotten about. Several years ago, I acquired a Atari 410 Program Recorder in a lot of Atari 2600 stuff I purchased from a neighbor. In the unit, was a copy of Hangman. I got the player working, after changing all the belts in it, and it went back into storage. Fast forward a few years, and while packing up stuff to move, I came across this with the game still inside.

I still have one tub of games to go and I have to figure out how to take a picture or scan of a big DVD set that has some games... ack.
-
Does that King's Quest Collection still work? I thought it quit working when windows went to XP? I had it and loved it. King's Quest VI is one of my favorite games of all time.

I know Kung Fu er, Dosbox. I also know SierraHelp.com (http://www.sierrahelp.com/). ;)
I can run a lot of these via PC emulation on VMWare or DOSbox so it's no problem, really. If I ever get to them... :D
-
FINALLY. ALL THE BOXED PC GAMES THAT I WAS MISSING HAVE BEEN ADDED. And with scans. I'm so tired but yeah. Finally. Woohoo. Agh.

Yay! Great job! How many did you end up adding?
-
I checked the list of recent additions and I added 61 PC (NA), 6 PC (UK), one PC (Asia) and one PC (China) entries. I also fleshed out a few existing ones that had incomplete or incorrect information and added a bunch of variants. Many of these scans are VGC originals, too - a lot of these had no scans online to begin with. Some are even odd packaging variants.
And I still haven't gotten to most of my magazine collection... I probably won't, they're all buried somewhere. And my computer's overheating more often nowadays. >_>
-
Looking over my Game Boy stuff for that "rate my..." thread, I realized I didn't have my Game Keeper listed in my collection, nor was it in the database!
-
I think I'm going to start to list my disc / disc and manual only PC games. I have a -lot-, but I won't be adding most since I have no idea what their boxes look like.
-
Well, I finally found time to go through my box of PC games and get things updated... Looks like I added 16 games to my collection that weren't previously accounted for! But I coulda swore I had a few more than this...hmm.
-
I decided to add all the titles I purchased in various bundles but hadn't yet activated and put them in my sell list for the time being. This made me also think to check my GOG.com account and see if all those games were accounted for also. They weren't.
So that added about 25 or so games onto my lists...
-
Reviving an old post because I realized I only had about 100 games listed in my collection here for Steam, but Steam said I had about 25 more than that. Also, I wanted to alphabetize and organize my physical collection, so I started crosschecking it with what I've got listed here at VGC.
I removed one DS item that I must've *assumed* I owned way back when, and I've been adding a whole mess of Steam and other titles that were gifted to me (with notes giving credit to the gifter).
Also, I've noticed that there are a few items that I can't find >:( , or I marked that I had a black label copy instead of a GH copy :-[ ... Must replace those soon...

The Steam game count is usually off by a bit since some games you purchase include two titles or something.

Yeah, I've noticed that. I knew I needed to update it anyway because of the recent sale, ha :P
But yeah, I won't try to make the number fit since I know that Steam and VGC item records won't match up.
Going back and adding the gift info is pretty interesting, though - I'd been wondering where some stuff had come from!
-
I recently noticed my list was a little off from my actual collection. I'm torn between doing an audit, or just deleting the whole collection and starting over again.
