# Game Collections
Game Collections are a powerful way to sort your library in a different way as the default "per system" organization.
When a Collection is created, it appears in the [System View](https://wiki.retrobat.org/navigation/system-view-and-game-view) amongst the list of systems.
The Game Collection Settings screen is available from the Main Menu.
Retrobat comes bundled with **AUTOMATIC GAME COLLECTIONS** that you can enable.
You can also create your own game collection, to do this you have 2 options:
* EDITABLE COLLECTION
* DYNAMIC COLLECTION
## Automatic Game Collections
From the GAME COLLECTION SETTINGS screen, select **AUTOMATIC GAME COLLECTIONS**.
A list of Collections will be available, check the collection box to enable the collection.
For example to display the Arcade Collection, select **ARCADE.**
This will enable in the System View the Arcade collection that contains games from all systems identified as ARCADE systems.
There are 3 categories of Automatic collections:
* Automatic Collections (standard)
* Per Genre Collections
* Arcade Systems Collections
#### Automatic Collections
The following self-explanatory list of collections is available.
