Metal Jesus has just posted a video that I think will be useful to many.  How do you catalog your collection?  I personally keep it all in an Excel spreadsheet and I take pictures.  I save it all to the cloud so it is available anywhere.  How do you do it?

I actually saw that video earlier and posted a response into the comments box. To paraphrase, I use GameFAQs database and an Excel spreadsheet. I like that there's a community attached to GameFAQs, but Excel is more flexible.

Great vid but I'm an Excel sheet man myself.

Excel is very practical.  I actually found a nice template online that I use to keep track of all my collectibles.  I also use Slice to keep track of all my electronic receipts.

Most of mine is in my log book that I built up many moons ago. This is the basis of what I am transferring to an excel spreadsheet.

When I started getting duplicates is when I realized I needed to have a list so I sat down and made it.  I have over 1000 games now too.

For systems I use on-line sites where you can share the serial numbers. I also have several notebooks full of info. Good video and has some great ideas.

Awesome collection! Your GBA game list is especially impressive :113:
Also interesting that you included digital games. I've never really counted them with my collection just because I don't have a physical item, but you still own them so I can see your point.

Great list fella. Perhaps you could share some photos of you collection here?
