For a while, when I go to a store, I had a really hard time picking out what i have/ dont have because of the fact I own 185 NES games, and barely a place to store them. So would things get lost. So i use an XML file to archive them by:
Name
Serial #
variation (if applicable)
company
year
what do you guys do?

I use an Excel spreadsheet. The columns are "Number" (this is just a number to represent the game's place on the list, not a serial number), "Name", "Digital Press Rarity", and "Digital Press Value". Then I have a cell that dynamically displays the total value of my NES game collection. And now that I'm thinking about it, I'll make a cell that outputs the average DP value and a cell that outputs the average rarity of my NES games.

I created my own detailed NES database using Cardbox several years ago - that's what I mainly use to keep track of my games. I also use www.rfgeneration.com - very user-friendly collecting software & detailed database. -Speedy

Well, you can go to RFGeneration (www.rfgeneration.com), and use their collection software. User-friendly and they have individual listings for PAL games, etc. You can search your own collection, print out specific lists from your collection, and much more. If there's a game you own that isn't in their database yet, simply submit it on the forum and it will be added. -Speedy

Easy way to do it... is when you start getting alot... print out the full NES rarity guide.... and black out the ones you have... this will also provide you with some sorta price to work off....

I downloaded an excel list off of the net, from that I copied and pasted the info for all the games that I didn't have yet in microsoft word, printed it out and now I have a colectors guide that I carry aound with me when I'm game hunting. I made my own codes to show how many games I have and how many I need, what there all worth ect...

Only I'm using a PDA and a Big 'ol HTML document. I just add a game to one of four lists when I get them. UK NES, US NES, EEC NES or Famicom.

Well, As you can see in the pictures of my other post, I have all games stored in a rack, each one with a plastic bag EASY TO BE REMOVED (after all I play the games [or will die trying]). Each game has its name wrote in english or japanese, depending how it is on the label, and a numeric code. So, if I get a game out of the rack I always know where to put it back. Unfortunately did not have time yet to put all the stuff in a online catalog like IGN or even in a classic paper notebook. When I get free time - I clean the new arrived games, or make labels, or ---- of course, play them! Cospefogo.

I picked up a japanese wardrobe for storing my games and systems. The consoles are in slide out shelves up top and the games are in the drawers below.
One of these days I need to take an inventory of what I've got.
