Hey there, I'm VigorousJammer. Known in meatspace as... Rob.
I own a lot of consoles, but recently have been doing most of my gaming on a PC. I still love classic consoles, though, and definitely enjoy collecting for them.

So, I'm on a mission to list every video game I've ever played over the course of my entire life here on my Backloggery account.
I'm looking to include arcade games, browser games, and also demo versions of games.
If I purchased the full version of an Xbox Live Arcade game, I will exclude listing the demo version. Since they are both the same executable, it would just be kind of redundant. However, for other games I have purchased, I will list a demo, whether it was downloadable or not. For demo discs, I will list the disc as a compilation, and include all of the games inside it. I'll also list shareware versions of games as separate entries from the full version.
I organize my consoles in a reverse chronological order, so the systems that have been released most recently will go at the top of my system list.
So, lemme teach you a little bit about how I'll be marking the games that I list!
If I mark a game as "Other" (The purple vortex) it means I either played a demo of it, It's part of other games I own (such as Sonic 3 & Knuckles), or I don't own it (maybe it's a browser game, maybe it was a free download, It could have even been *ahem* a
pirated version).
The exceptions to this rule would be arcade games, free-to-play games with microtransactions, and MMOs that let you download the client for free and only require a monthly subscription.
Basically, if I don't own the game, but I paid to play it.
In these cases, I will mark it as "Subscription" (The coin icon).
If I mark a game as "Household" (The little house) it means I either played it over another person's house, or they brought it over my house while we were hanging out.
If I mark a game as
it means that either the game is actually not able to be completed (such as games that are entirely highscore-based), completing it is incredibly insignificant (such as completing a demo). I will also use this mark for insignificant DLC (Stuff like Map packs, Skin unlocks, stuff like that).
I will always mark games as
if I own them, but haven't played them. Once I start playing them, I will then mark them as
. If I sell the game without playing it (It happens sometimes), I will delete the game from my list.
After I finish a game once I will mark it as
. When it comes to games with multiple storylines built into the design of the overall story (Such as Sonic Adventure, or Dead or Alive 2) I will only mark it
after I have finished every storyline.
I will only mark a game
when I have literally nothing else to do in a game (excluding multiplayer, unless it has unlockable stuff). If a game has collectibles, I will need to collect all of them before I mark it as
. If a game does not have any collectibles or bonus content, I will mark it as complete as long as I have seen all of the content (Went through all dialogue trees, saw all the cutscenes, etc.).
Basically,
means I can load up the game and not collect or unlock anything new, and that I've beaten all modes, levels, or challenges at least once.
The only exception to this are achievements. Many achievements are skill-based, or based around multiplayer, and I don't consider them a requirement for completing a game.
I will only ever mark something as
if I'm EXTREMELY skilled at it. Such as getting S-rankings on every level or something.
I have not yet marked anything as
... not sure I ever will
Hope you very much enjoy browsing my giant list of games!
