Cataloguing game collection - UK app.

[chipsgravy]

Apologies if this has been asked before, but is there a good website/app for cataloguing UK games collections. I tried one (game eye maybe?) but none of my pal games would show up when the barcode was scanned. I also have a range of NTSC games across all platforms so not looking for just a pal site. It would be great if it also gave a current value for the collection, mainly for curiosity and insurance reasons but not essential.

I use Collectorz and it works really well. It has a phone app and website and has a very good hit rate of barcode matches. The only problems I've had are very obscure PS1 games.

If I remember correctly, I paid the one off cost for the app to get all the features and I'm really happy with it. It shows estimated values of your games and allows you to add things like purchase date and location. It has improved over time and is well supported. The only downside is that editing your collection on PC requires an extra subscription but I have never needed it because I do everything on my phone.

Thanks for this tip. Only issue is the Jpn section is currently lacking. But I was able to scan my collection in very quickly with little/few issues.

Yeah, it struggles with older Japanese games but PS2 onwards is pretty solid, at least for me.

I added all my games to pricecharting this year. Took a while to add the 50 odd titles that weren't in the database but it is done now I guess... No fancy barcode scanning or anything like that though!

Like others i use collectorz as well but i personally think the company that makes it sucks, i paid for it because the core is useful although it barely found a lot of my japanese ds games from the auto update service. I wrote the company a stinking email as they sent me an advertising email quite a few years back that was for their paid service to keep it updated and they pretty much accused me of stealing because i paid only for the program and not the ongoing database updates. I sent them a copy of my receipt and they had the balls to say well it doesn't count as i shouldn't be just using it without paying for the service updates as well as that's not how it was meant to be used i said their website doesn't mention any of that so they can piss right off. Totally put me off on buying anything of theirs ever again to be honest.

I ended up buying a scanner and putting all my ds cover art into the database and adding all the games in manually as well as adding in the japanese titles for ease of use later on down the line. Nowadays i still don't use their crappy online servers i prefer to scan and add in my own games manually they can piss right off.
