Fancy Meeting You Here...

[vancha]

I've been looking fora decent collection site for a long time and I am not sure wich forum anymore but I stumbled on a link to this site and became instantly hooked :-)

[pacpix]

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!

Google for me too, just typed video game collection community or something, and the website came up.

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.

i was looking for a mobile way to keep track of my games and wishlist... so i looked it up and vgcollect app was there soo i downloaded and loved it... i just wished the wishlist would hurry up lol... i wanna go to some flea markets and yard sales in serous buy mode!!

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.

There was a topic on MAL looking for a MAL for video games and someone suggested this site.
