Game Collector Must Have!!!!

I love this!!!❤️ My first console was the Magnavox Odyssey. I’ve always kept track of my game collection and backlog in a notebook, but now I don’t need to!!! This app is awesome and thank God it’s free!

Incredible for Game Collectors

Goodbye to the days of manually tracking my vast collection of retro & modern games. With Shelf, I can easily keep track of and display my entire archive of games.

My favorite feature is being able to compartmentalize my collection at my fingertips. Keeping up with my long list (well into the hundreds) of completed games has never been easier! and across multiple devices!

As a middle school teacher, I love being able to show off my collection to my students to prove to them that I’m sigma and not skibidi Ohio.

I no longer need to spend countless hours and weekends taking inventory of my collection. With the time that this app has saved me I can finally spend time doing what I love.....going out and buying more retro video games.
