VIDEO GAME BACKLOG TRACKER

Plan what to play next with a backlog tracker built for collectors

OG Collector helps collectors organize unfinished games, track what they are playing, and decide what to play next without losing track of the collection behind the backlog.

Built for collectors juggling retro pickups, modern releases, Steam libraries, and unfinished favorites.

Unlike generic productivity apps, OG Collector keeps your backlog connected directly to your game collection.

Your backlog should not feel like another collection problem

Every collector eventually reaches the point where the backlog starts growing faster than the finished games list. Physical games, digital libraries, retro pickups, Steam sales, wishlist titles, and half-finished games all begin to blur together.

Without structure, it becomes difficult to remember:

  • what you own
  • what you started
  • what you finished
  • and what actually deserves your time next.

OG Collector turns your backlog into a usable play plan instead of an endless pile of forgotten games.

Why OG Collector works as a video game backlog tracker

  • Track practical play statuses like Not Started, Backlog, Playing, Completed, and Dropped
  • Keep backlog games connected to your owned collection
  • Organize physical, digital, retro, and modern games together
  • Quickly filter your collection by play state
  • Plan your next few sessions without using a spreadsheet
  • Avoid duplicate purchases by seeing what you already own

Built for real players, not just lists

A gaming backlog tracker only works when it fits the way people actually play games. OG Collector keeps each backlog item connected to ownership details, platform, condition, wishlist status, and collection context so your next pick is always realistic.

Whether you are working through retro classics, modern releases, handheld games, or a Steam library, this backlog tracker app helps you organize your next few sessions without creating a separate notes system.

How the OG Collector backlog workflow works

Step 1

Add your games

Add games by search, scan, import, or manual entry so your collection and backlog live in one connected system.

Step 2

Set play status

Mark games as Not Started, Backlog, Playing, Completed, Dropped, or another status that fits your workflow.

Step 3

Filter what matters

Quickly view what you own, what you are playing, what is waiting, and what you may want to revisit later.

Step 4

Pick what to play next

Use your backlog, wishlist, collection details, and value context to make better decisions about what deserves your time next.

Built for retro and modern game backlogs

Most collectors are not playing on just one platform anymore. OG Collector is designed for gaming backlogs that span cartridges, discs, handhelds, modern consoles, and digital libraries.

You should be able to track an unfinished SNES RPG, a Steam backlog, and a modern PlayStation release in the same connected workflow.

  • Track NES, SNES, Genesis, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, Steam, and more
  • Keep retro pickups and modern releases in the same backlog workflow
  • Track digital and physical ownership together
  • Use imports to bring existing libraries into your collection
  • Keep wishlist games separate until you actually own them

Why not just use a spreadsheet?

Spreadsheets can work for a while, but they quickly become hard to maintain as your collection grows. A real game backlog organizer should stay connected to your collection, pricing context, wishlist, imports, and selling workflow.

Spreadsheets work for a while until your collection, backlog, wishlist, and ownership details start drifting apart.

Spreadsheets

  • Manual upkeep
  • Easy to forget updates
  • No collection connection
  • No scan workflow
  • No wishlist or ownership context
  • Hard to maintain long term

OG Collector

  • Connected collection + backlog tracking
  • Fast updates tied to your library
  • Scan and search workflows
  • Wishlist and ownership awareness
  • Built for collectors who buy, play, and sell games
  • Designed for long-term collection management
