It's simple, but it gets the job done. I've given each system its own tab, and each game has the following informational columns:

Own - Do I own it (obviously, yes for all)
Played - Have I played it
Beaten - Have I beaten it
Year Acquired - The year (or approx. year) I got it
Year Released - Release year for that system (so FFVI/III on Wii is a 2011 release)
Developer - Who developed it
Publisher - Who published it
My Rating - My own simple rating scale (A-F) only for games I've played enough to justify one


Clicking on any game opens a link to its Wikipedia page in case I'm interested in some more information. The "Totals" tab at the end just lists the combined totals of games per system, my personal ratings, and the release years.

I'm thinking of expanding it by including "Totals" columns for Developers and Publishers, and maybe some other ideas as well. Tell me what you guys think, especially if you have some ideas or improvements. If you like it, feel free to modify it for your own collections - it doesn't take as much time as you think since all the formulas are already in place.

That's cool I suppose. It might be more efficient to just use backloggery.com though. I use that and just a text document of what I've played through.

Wow. Lots of terrific (by my reckoning) games you didn't acquire until relatively recently. Cool.

By the way, how do you remember what year you got a game? That would be pretty difficult for me.

Amazon order history helped a lot for the last 5-6 years. Aside from that, I just wracked my brain. When I was a kid, every new game used to be special, so it wasn't impossible to remember, but I'm probably mistaken on at least a few.

I checked out Backloggery's and didn't really like it. Just preference. I liked IGN's before they changed it.

I like this better than Backloggery. Neater, easier to edit, has hyperlinks, and I'm pretty sure you can't rate games on Backloggery.

Nice. Hyperlinking is probably the most time consuming part.

If plain Copy a hyperlink and paste it into Excel, it'll stay. I'm just going down the giant list of games on platforms that Wikipedia has.

I looked at the Google Docs version and all it had was Kirby's Dream Land and Pokemon Red/Blue.

Man, the Wii has a ton of shovelware. Going through that list was painful.

Very nice! Just needs a little bit of cleaning to add the DS in the totals tab, I think. Your handheld collection is quite impressive compared to mine lol
