Game collection

I keep track of all my games as I get them in an Excel Spreadsheet. I update it whenever I get things in the mail or get back from a store or flea market. I find it's easier to keep track of everything this way (especially since it's alphabetically sorted and I keep the NES games in cases in my closet until I want to play them)

Just thought I'd share my list with you all.
Also, anyone out there who wants a website for storage and file sharing, 4shared.com is a great one. Each file can be up to 100 MB I think. It's like having your own mini-server.

That's a really good idea, putting them in Excel like that. I thinks I may have to steal this idea for yours =P

My ultiumate goal is to have a tab for games, a tab for systems and a tab for accessories.

Your list looks nice. I have my game list in excel also, a tab for every system because keeping track of 100+ games for each console (they are copies mostly!) is impossible without a list. Also use it for my 600+ mp3 album list, 600+ movie list, and my ever growing anime collection. Lately been check marking it for games that I have finished. Have my list on hotmail or gmail to access it wherever I go.

i have an excel spreadsheet for all my pc games including cd keys for those games that require them. i'd be in a world of hurt if i lost it (or someone else got a hold of it)...

i went balls out this evening and created a nice spreadsheet to start inventory on all my games and systems. if anyone is interested in using this spreadsheet as a starting point, let me know and i'll find somewhere to host it.

I also have a spreadsheet with tabs for each system. Games are listed alphabetically, along with columns for manual, box, and additional notes.

I STRONGLY suggest that anyone with a substantial collection do this, and store a copy in a webmail account, in case your hard drive is destroyed.

Believe it or not, I actually had a conversation with my home insurance agent about archiving. He also suggesting rounding everything up and taking pictures. Otherwise, the adjuster would just have to take my word that I'm a freak that's dropped thousands of dollars in this hobby.
