The ninth in a series of applications for video-games collectors, focussing on Nintendo’s Entertainment System of the early 80’s.
This application gives you a list of the games available for the system, with publisher details, screenshots, pictures of the box, and details of their relative rarities and value.
Also includes an easy to use system of keeping track of your collection so you never buy a dupe again!
Facility to easily add your own notes for each game - keep track as to whether you need to get the box, instructions etc, or just note your best score!
Ideal for when browsing at your local flea-market or video-game store when you can’t really remember whether the game in front of you is a highly-prized shooter that you craved when you were a kid, or a religious game that was developed to make you a better person!
Also includes a direct-search button for eBay - press the button and you are taken directly to eBay with the search results displayed! Ideal for when you need to quickly check up-to-date prices, perhaps when trying to bargain with a store-owner who thinks because a game is 25 years old it is worth a bomb!
Pros and cons of NES Collectors Guide app for iPhone and iPad
NES Collectors Guide app good for
Lots of data on the games, with screenshots. Not sure if the value and rarity are right, but its always difficult to estimate what a game is worth so lets just say it gives you a rough idea if the game is common or not.
Good job! Ill probably the other guides...
Nice App for collectors especially with the update. But Im still missing some games.
Its pretty good but it would be cool if you could have a "wish list" tab for games you want and a "my collection" tab for games you already own.
I like the app, as I am a collector. I like how it shows you a picture of the game being played and one of the box art. Also linking to eBay to find a game is convenient. I just wish you could add a checklist so collectors can mark off games the own. If that was added, a 5 star app for collectors.
Great app for the collector on the go. Prices are accurate. Its easy and handy when out checking stores and resales shops. Keep them coming.
If you can you update with more games, and a checklist for people to use would be awesome. I feel these apps dont get enough love, but they should. Thanks for the sweet app, looking forward to more. Genesis or SNES guide would a great welcome addition to this series of apps.
Some bad moments
There are a couple of problems I have with this program.
First of all, you track your games by tapping the title and it highlights green. Tap it again and it goes to black. It is too easy to inadvertently tap the title and then when you go through your list you think you dont have that title.
The titles are not all there and theres no way to add on to your list. I wanted to contact the developer and was unable to. All I got was a picture of somebodys pet bird.
Hopefully they will fix these problems.
