Two questions

Post by Snatch1414 »

Figured it's easier and more organized than making two threads:

1) Anyone have recommendations for apps/sites that let you keep track of your entire collection? I noticed Sega Age has one but the interface isn't great IMO. A buddy of mine uses an app but it doesn't let him pick cart only, CIB, etc. Any all encompassing solutions, or at least options that stand out?

2) Instruction manuals. Is there anywhere that sells a lot of instruction manuals for retro games or is it just about eBay or finding someone that has a loose manual that you need?

Thanks

1) Use RFGeneration for tracking your collection. Its not mobile optimized, but it has a great interface. There are all the different regions and options like cart/manual/box/cib/notes.

If you really want a mobile one, you can use the VGCollect app on android (not sure if its on iphone). It also lets you pick cart, cib, etc.

2)For manuals, youre mostly looking at Ebay and Forums' B/S/T threads like this one, nintendoage, etc. Dedicated websites that sell them will usually be more expensive.

For the manuals, are you just looking to have them available as reference for old games who don't have tutorials, or are you looking to collect them? If you just need the reference, then http://www.replacementdocs.com/ is your destination.

For collecting pretty much, but thanks I'm sure that link will come in handy.
