Amsterdam, The Netherlands, September 23, 2003 - Software company Collectorz.com announces the release of its new product Game Collector 1.0, a PC and console game organizer for Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP.

Game Collector is designed for people who love to play computer games. If you have a large game collection, Game Collector helps you catalog it. Adding games in Game Collector is fast and easy: enter the title or scan the barcode, and the details are retrieved automatically from the Internet - including a cover picture. The integrated loan manager tracks who borrowed your games, taking the mystery out of where certain games have gone. Or print out your wish list when you visit game shops and trade shows.

Game Collector has an intuitive interface, based on Windows Explorer. The program creates a list of your games that you can sort instantly on any field. Imagine what this means: no need to scan your shelves to find a game anymore; just search the database. Group your games by platform to quickly create an overview of your PlayStation, GameCube and Xbox titles. Place your collection on your website for reference by your friends.

Game Collector is available in a Standard edition for US $24.95 and a Pro edition for US $39.95, for a single-user license with free upgrades. The free trial version is available at http://www.collectorz.com/game

Pretty nifty I think. It's worth a look.

So, how do I catalog PCB games?

That sounds pretty damn handy right there. Not $25 handy though.

I downloaded the software. It searches retail sites to find the game information. Which means, if the game is not currently in retail then you are shit out of luck.

This product is stupid.

That is just too awsome.

Meh, $25? No thanks.

No out of print games? No thanks.

www.videogametracker.com might require a bit more work, but it's free and works just fine.

Then again I could probably make an Access database of my games and it'd work well enough. If I do I'll let you know, and anyone who wants it would be able to download it, assuming you know how to ... use a datasheet >.> Or have Access. I doubt I'll do it, since I'm lazy, but one never knows when I'll grow up and stop being lazy.

Meh. Guzzlefish is fine for me. Something not in the database? Submit it. Plus, it's free.

I use a simple Works spreadsheet for my library, and VGT for my Pile of Shame. I don't need this software.

[Werewolf]

I use Excel and that works just fine for me, if it were free maybe but I spend enough on my games and I don't need to spend more to remind me how much I've spent

Not having out of print games also sucks if that is the case...
