For example, this happened when I tried to add Resident Evil 0.

Hmm... Resident Evil 0 shows up in the quick search bar for me, but if you ever need more results go to Browse Games and use the Search Function at the bottom of the screen. This needs to be made more obvious, but it displays more results.

Ditto on the request for an import feature. I have over 800 games and most are in IGN's list:

But I also have a local access database with them too since not all of the games I own are in IGNs database. Having the ability to import from a .csv file should work for me and I would expect most game databases would have the ability to export to a .csv.

Yeah, it's appearing in the search bar now too. Back when I first added it I don't believe it did, tho. Thanks for the tip.

another awesome contest Cheapy! and thanks for re-activating my account

Hmm I'm loving the game collection feature and the wish list and the pricing notification and just about everything. I was wondering if I'm just not seeing it or if there isn't an option at the moment to leave a quick blurb about a game.

Not quite a full review just sort of quick personal thoughts, possibly why someone gave the game a single star or why they threw down all five.

Like infinite space I want to give it a five star and its probably getting that but I sorta also want to leave a warning that its not exactly fast paced but the plot has managed to sucker punch me two or three times now, which is shamelessly awesome feat for any game to have accomplished. Or Mayhaps why I gave Skies of Arcadia a 5 for the DC but gave the GC version a paltry 4, well that and I'm just plain interested in what other CAG members though about (insert random game).

I need to finish adding my games. This site is the reason I have so many.

I will slowly add my whole collection. It is nice to have it all in one place.

Thanks

It's in the system. The problem is that there are so many versions of "Donkey Kong" you need to be a bit more specific.

Add the platform name ( example: "donkey kong coleco") of whatever game you are searching for and it will pop up to the top.

If this is as successful as I think it will be, hopefully we do it again to hit the million mark.

Thanks CheapyD!!

Is there a way to see the cag collection? There was mention of 400,000, but I'd kind of like to see how many of each game, it'd be pretty interesting.

Ah DPsx7, always the optimist...

Very interesting. I guess I'll add little by little, I'll eventually have at least half of my collection up XD

Just the push I needed to do this. Good idea Cheapy, added a few games that i wouldn't mind selling/trading.

awesome, thanks for the heads up cheapy!

That picture honestly puts my three 2' shelves worth of games to shame hands down

When I go to Browse Games and use the Search Function at the bottom of the screen... the games come up with pages of choices- which is fantastic. HOWEVER, when adding games htis way, I cannot see what I have added already, AND it also takes off of the page to fill in more info. The quick search is vastly superior in this regard... I just wish it had the pages of choices too...

Regardless, this is a welcomed feature to CAG.

So what is the total up to now?

*edit*

Also there should be a way to move games directly from our wishlists to our collections.

Already had mine in, but a great contest yet again.

I will be entering thanks!
