Thanks Jason and Clive! I'll clean up my collection and post a screenshot shortly. I ended up with quite a few duplicates over the years. I'll see if I can figure something out! thanks again

Hi I'm verrrry happy to have found Launchbox. I've been searching for about 2 years for a way to manage my collection and I wasn't satisfied with any of them (And there are a lot! Collectorz, Backloggery, GCStar, Grouvee, the list goes on) In the end I built one in Excel to manage my 537 games because i could make them do what I wanted! Launchbox is the closest to my feature set and has a premium price i can deal with. Upgraded! I have some suggestions/requests that i'd love to bounce around, but first i wanted to ask you, Jason, if you envision Launchbox to be a launcher as the title suggests, or a collection manager as recent developments like Steam import would imply. I ask because if you prefer it be a Launcher, some of my suggestions are moot and can be ignored :) 1) Any chance you could support other games DBs like Giantbomb? TheGamesDB seems like a great start, but I think there are DBs out there with more mature data that are fairly accessible. (I used Giantbomb's API for my excel version and it worked great - very little missing data) TheGamesDB has missing games, information and inconsistent formatting, which isn't the end of the world, but if you have options you may want to support more. (I see some people discussing Mobygames integration. That's good too) 2) I was very happy you have Steam import. Any way you could provide an option to automatically check a steam account for updates when starting Launchbox? 3) What's the recommended way to catalog duplicates? Example: I have 3 copies of one game because I got it on CDRom when it came out, again on Steam through a bundle and then on Android when it was released there. Is that what the Version field is for? If so, how are the 3 versions of the same game associated in the application? Anyway, thanks for this great tool. I'm excited to try to start cataloging my floppy disk collection next! -H
