Isn't it real refreshing seeing the true sympathy in this forum.
And Licurg don't be sad size isn't everything (my is still the biggest!!!)
I have bad news for you, pal.

70 is below average in Belgium. But many women insist that size (of a shelf) doesn't matter, so don't give up.

You know what they say about a guy with a big shelf... :p

Also, here's the wishlist entry for multiple game shelves.

I'd love that feature too.
As Faenrir, I've been 'manualing' mine to perfection over the years, but adding single ones is pretty torturous at this point D:
So my vote's in.

DarthDavy: Don't know if this has been suggested before, but I have 70 games right now on and my shelf is a cluttered whole. It would be nice if we could make multiple shelves on our account. Then you can arrange your games as you want (I would do it by genre: RPG, Adventure,...)
70? That's not cluttered LOL I've got 220 games and he page scrolls forever. :) You might want to change your view to the list view which is smaller, and zoom the web page out perhaps. There is a manual sort option but I haven't found it to be useful personally. There is also an option to hide/unhide games from your bookshelf as well.

It would be nice to be able to set up arbitrary numbers of categories of your choosing and put games into one or more of the cateogories for purposes of organization/perusal, not unlike Steam does. Perhaps we'll see such an enhancement at some point in the future.

park_84: I'd also like an option to sort by original release date.
This would be very cool.
Oh yes, I'd love this kind of multiple shelves very much.
Just added my vote to that wishlist. I started out doing it manually, but eventually it got to be too much. I am guessing the manual sort feature is flash-based (or something like that), since dragging and moving the games from the top to the bottom of over 260 games takes foooorrrreeeeevvvveeerrrrrr.... If it did not take so long to manually do it I would not mind.

The big pictures are the easiest way for me to identify the games, but spotting them out amongst a sea of pictures is like looking for that one picture in a mosiac of pictures.

Wow. You're really doing it the hard way. At some 350 games I could not be bothered to ever use the shelf view, not to mention slightly longer load times because of them pretties.

I simply load my game page in list view, press CTRL+F, and enter the name of the game - for some time now GOG's own game search tab hasn't been working for me. Takes me five seconds or less to find what I'm look for without any eye strain.
I know it's no multi-shelf function, however, I do like that if you type in a genre in the search function (ex. rpg, tpp, horror, adventure, etc...) it brings up all games of that specific category. I hope that may be of some help to the OP. :)

I thought about that, but it feels... soulless? There is just something about being able to see them pretties that makes me want to keep coming back to view them... :-) Viewing them in list form just is not the same.

I do not recall seeing such a function for games one already owns - only in the store section of the site. Excuse me while I try to check that out.

Edit - yeah, there is no genre-filtering feature for one's shelf. That could help somewhat, but how much value a user would get out of that would be up to that user.

Edit (again) - I think I understand what you mean now. Using the search function at the top as the means of filtering out the genre, instead of the drop-down list like I was thinking originally. Okay, yeah that would work. My mistake for not catching it the first time. Disregard my original response.

Theta_Sigma:
That would rock actually. I spend a lot of time flipping through and being like: not feeling this genre today.

Neat, thanks!
I just use the list option instead, it's more practical.

Glad I could be of assistance. :)
