Yeah, I remember Monster Rancher Explorer. Electronic Gaming Monthly noted "it certainly looks fun, but it quickly gets repetitive." I was shocked when I sampled it many years back that it's actually based on Solomon's Key. This wouldn't be the first time this happened with other companies! BurgerTime with The Flintstones, Ele'lator Action with Dexter's Lab... there could be more.

Is Air Twister actually good? We are talking post-SEGA Yu Suzuki, AKA Shenmue III, which was a massive letdown to many.

I'm a fan of the RetroBreak channel but I had no idea you actually had a Backloggery. I recognised your avatar on the main page. Nice to see you on here. And I knew I was gonna find Super Mario Land under your Master Runs for sure.

Hey Retrobreak. How many games do I have that is in your Top 20 GB games list? (First checked out last night.) Let's see...

...

Hmm. Fifteen? That's great. I'd argue that Mega Man 4 and 5 are better, and not sure if the Donkey Kong Land series works too well to call it amazing, but hey, overall I'd say this list overall is the general opinion. No joke, before I saw your video, I didn't have a few of these, and I acquired them not too long ago. Tetris Plus looks like it has a unique puzzle mode, which is why I grabbed it. I saw JP Castlevania II GB for half the price of a US copy, and... wait a tick, Snow Bros.? Why Snow Bros. and not Lolo?

I've always been fascinated by things like Sega's VMU or Sony's PocketStation, you could honestly do a whole video about that! Would love to see you raising Chao on stream sometime, can't wait for the Sonic Adventure vid!

Couldn't stop in on the stream, but congrats on beating Sonic Adventure! Might be a fun "relax and chill" stream if you wanted to raise Chao and such ;3

I don't use Gamepass, but my brother does, and if I remember correctly there's actually a platform option for "Xbox Gamepass" so you can differentiate it from other Xbox downloads. Plus, there's always the "Subscription" ownership which I use for things like Switch Online apps. Overall I recommend using the "Xbox Gamepass" as the platform so you can separate them from the rest of your collection. Just a suggestion though, take that with a grain of salt

I use the "Subscription" ownership icon for stuff like Nintendo Switch Online titles, which is sorta like Gamepass.

It has the added benefit of filtering when I use the Fortune Cookie feature on the site. Meaning, I can have it do things like pick a random game without considering games I'm "subscribed to", or I can have it choose only "subscribed" games.

In the off chance that I end my subscription, it's easy to find the games I've flagged as "subscription" as well and then stealth delete them while leaving up the ones I've completed/beaten.

I do but I don't add any game I don't own... I just don't track them. though I do buy them if they are leaving game pass as they usually go on sale at that point.

Question for anyone who plays Gamepass games. How do you like to add them on here? I want to play some, but only like to add games I own on here.. Want to track progress though.. any ideas?

By 12 years, i should be done my backlog by then.

Only from all the large storage totes I originally had my games stored in, before I eventually found a job in 2015, earn income for myself, and could afford to import games today and region-locked consoles. Those under the Rented/Borrowed section are all games played during childhood when gamign arcades existed in my childhood.

No, Backloggery was my first! It was a New Year's resolution of mine to start keeping track of my yearly gaming pickups to watch my collection grow, and a few Google searches later I found this! Its honestly even better than what I was initially looking for because I just wanted somewhere to track my collection, but this is also helping me actually play them!

I just hit 12 years myself on June 4th!

Ten years for me, dood.

I stumbled upon this place by pure accident in 2012. Once I looked through to see what it was, I joined and started cataloguing all of the games I have played since I began gaming.

Wow, congrats on 12 years! I wish I had found this place sooner, I've only been here for about a year and a half but I love it! It's great to see updates from people like you as you work through your Backlog! Congrats on 12, and here's to many more!

congrats. and yes, longer.

12 years on Backloggery! Anyone else been here that long?

"How do you decide what to play from your backlog?"
Sometimes i'll play the oldest game series / standalone title and other times when i think about playing x game too much, that is a good idea to play it. Being organised helps a ton too.

If they are retro games, i look to the best console port for the game if you have the console and if you don't have the console or retro game, just emulate it and plug in the original controller into your PC with an adapter so zero lag.

Most my "retro" consoles are composite because i only have a CRT 240p 16 inch screen that only takes composite and a flat screen for everything else.

Emulation is only going to get better as history has shown us.
Getting a good CRT is almost impossible as well, not to mention cables and retro games being pretty expensive too.

My most optimal setup currently is just my gamecube and wii as i have component cable for it long ago which i use on my flat screen sony bravia.

So you can say i'm pretty fussy with attempting to get the best wherever attainable.
If one is struggling with money, emulation is king as you can save tens of thousands of dollars lol.
