I passed 600 games a little while ago.

Also, as I was looking to see if I had entered a Jeff Rovin book on the other site my wife and I use to track a collection, I noticed we are exactly at 1500 books listed. We use a site called LibraryThing http://www.librarything.com to keep track of books.

What?! 

You mean you knew about and used an online resource to keep track of books, and didn't think to share it with the rest of us until now?! 

Especially when there has been some lobbying by a few folks to add strategy guides to the RF Generation database?!

What kind of sick, depraved monster are you, anyway? 

Apparently either a zombie or Frankenstein's monster, judging by your avatar.

Actually, isn't the Franky monster technically a zombie, too? He is a reanimated corpse-- or, rather, a bunch of reanimated corpse parts strung together-- after all.

Ummm... what were we talking about, again?

As far as I'm concerned there are only about a dozen sites on the internet. I guess I just take it for granted ya'all know about them.

We've been using librarything for years now. It works out really good to keep track of books. The system sources amazon and the library of congress (and a few others). Entering in books is very easy, nearly every modern book has an ISBN number, you simply enter this number into a field, press enter, and a list of possible books pops up. The list is usually just one book long and almost always the right one. Then you click the link for the book, the system add's it to your collection and sets you up for entering in the next book. It is very easy and quick.

Librarything also fills in all the info fields for each book (year, author, etc.) There are a bunch of analytics too, like how many others on the site have a book, how similar peoples collection is to yours, what books you have only one other on the site has, and lots more.

It's been a long time but I think they let you have collections up to 200 for free then you have to pay a one time "donation" of some amount, I think they suggest $25. That gets you in for life.

And yes it would work for strategy guides, anything remotely book like with an ISBN almost always works, it sources amazon remember?

Oh yeah, and if a book isn't in the system you can add it, but that is rare for us. Most of the time a book doesn't show up for us it is more then 80 years old, and even then its not too often.

And I don't seem to be a zombie-Frankenstein, I just checked.

Thanks. 60 isnt far to go, I got the last 69 just this year, good luck. As for the SE repro, the dude that made it doesnt want to be recognized.

[Crabmaster2000]

Very awesome!! I'm hoping to hit that goal by the end of next year if all goes well.

[Nightowljrm]

While I have other "rares" like Gemfire, Dragon Fighter, Chubby Cherub, whatever... I got my first real NES rarity today. My second rarest game would probably be Dracula X.

Congrats sir.  Was that a find, or did the bank account take a bit of a shakin'?
