Or just look at and admire ? Check out this free software that creates a virtual game shelf (much like GOG has)

Darkadia


BTW here's my little shelf http://darkadia.com/member/WangoTango/library

Does it auto-detect? What about Steam games? Looks cool though.

No auto detect. You have to manually selects them, so drm does not matter.

This is awesome. I've started going through my Steam library and what I've got installed right now, but no doubt I'll need a few days to jog my memory and remember all the stuff I've had over the years.

Ok.... got my first PC for my 15th birthday in 1996. I think this is just about everything I've had since then - no doubt I'll remember some more as I think about it. There's a few (stuff from Matrix) that aren't in their database, stuff like Command Modern Air Naval Ops, Decisive Campaigns Case Blue, Espana 1936, To End All Wars.....

Steam sales are dangerous.

670 Pielstick? That's a lot. I wish I knew my entire PC game history but my memory isn't so good.I'm guessing it would be that many and more.

I must have spent a bloody fortune on games over the years.

674 biggrin

I'm remembering ones I forgot earlier.

I just went through my Steam library, Origin, GoG and my backup HDDs and used that as a starting point. All the stuff that I had on physical media in the goold old days I'm slowly remembering. It kind of helps that a few weeks ago I found a couple of boxes with loads of old games and books that I hadn't seen for about ten years.

As I said above, there's quite a few wargames I can't find on Darkadia, and I can't seem to find Digital Integration's F-16 sim from 1997. They have Stike Fighters 2, but don't have the Vietnam, Europe, Israel or North Atlantic titles. They've got Panzer Corps and Panzer Corps: Afrika Corps, but don't have Panzer Corps: Allied Corps. They don't appear to have the U-Boat missions expansion for Silent Hunter 4.

Oh, just remembered Railroad Tycoon 3 and Sid Meier's Pirates 2004....

676 salute

Well, there's what's in my Steam library and then there's what's installed and ready to play - and there's a huge difference between the two.

I think I have something like 120 games available in Steam, owing to sales on collections. But I don't have a lot of older games installed. For example, I have Civ IV in the library, but since I only play Civ V it's not actually on my hard drive. I have all the Doom and Quake games, but none of them are installed as well.

CloD is greyed out as well, since I've sent it into time out for bad behavior.

I started adding in stuff I played a lot on my brother's Atari ST and Amiga 1200 before I got a PC. Looking at some of the stuff there like Falcon, Gunship 2000, Railroad Tycoon, Red Storm Rising, Frontier Elite 2 (this is from the age of 9 to 14).... it's no wonder my tastes are less mainstream and more towards the complex and replayable stuff.

696... I need to remember four more to get to 700 jawdrop

Can't get close to Pielstick, but my catalogue stretches back to 1983. Quite a few Amiga and Acorn Electron games I tried are missing. Also a stack of PS1 games I can't remember. When I traded some in 2002, I had enough cash for a new PS2.

Great collection! You've jogged my memory on quite a few.

I'm also wracking my brain to remember what I had on by X360 before I sold it in 2011. Also added what I can remember having on a Sega Game Gear that I got for Christmas in 1992.

hehe don't make me include the DS games my daughter has! The Little Mermaid already made it onto the list.

I can't for the life of me remember the name a flight sim I had - must have been late 90s/early 2000s, around the same time as Fly! It was quite popular on here and was limited to SF Bay area...

{edit]aha Flight Unlimted III in your list. You also jogged my memory on my Delta Force/Joint Ops collection!
