you can always report bad data if you find different results for NA on your end. I am now checking for some home brews in the database. Trust me I have been using search this entire time and yes I didn't combine soulcalibur as one word I miss typed it in the database and I apologize, and I rushed the photo upload in which explains why it didn't say PS2




Hi I added more 3 previously unreleased Atari games the only one I (could) find a valid picture for was Aquaventure in which was a prototype made in 1983 from previous research and 1984 from current research it's a prototype that comes with the Atari Flashback 6 console 
and the other 2 I read are official releases done by activision but they were not released untill November 19, 2002 and came with the activation anthology



You guys can trust me I don't troll and I'm honest and really serious about my words and information. please let me know if anything is wrong you can message or reply

edit I have a hard time paying attention to detail sorry I however probally should not add homebrews?

no I would need a mansion to hold that many, what I was saying was the options of arcade conversions not the cabinets. there is an option for both in site. I have been adding individual conversions not too many people but me it seems wants them to be added. these are video game compilation I want to track the games online without having to run the game. I just would like to add PS2 and PS3 discs with 20 or more games on it  to be displayed for personal reasons.

I assume the option to add PS2 conversions was OK to do but I was using the original arcade cabinet release because it is more interesting for to find when the games were made. I got your message and thanks for the heads up

Video Game Database Discussion / Disappointed about not being told not to add arcade conversions or homebrews

« on: March 01, 2017, 05:02:41 pm »

I agree to all the rules and I made mistakes of adding unnecessary information in the description tabs. In my short time being here I seen that their is not only an option to add psychical copies to the database but also  home brews and arcade conversions as well. I was told on a thread by one of the chief admin not to add video game compilation pieces to the database i will listen but i don't understand.

I wanted a site that lets me track my entire collection in one place to figure out and plan what I want to play next and learn the details of a game not in the database yet. Yes I wanted a site I could use to track my entire video game collection and I already said in an earlier reply I wil leave the descriptions blank All admins can stop me from adding my games I am aware of this, I am a former member of retro collect and that site really is a big disappointment not having any photos or game years barley. and no way of adding games to their confined small database I am an honest person and although I may not always have originals, I do have games i want to track by at least knowing what year the game came out. yes some compilations give out this information on hand with the game or manual itself. my collection is public to anyone on here but I would also like to know some facts about the single game.

the reason for this post is a question of why is there an option for arcade conversions and homebrews when the boss says not to use that feature. small data like that should not even take of 3 kilobytes, but if it's a hard drive space problem I will understand

Classic Video Games / Re: How many members Own/Play Arcade Game Compilations Lets Talk

Please dont add each piece of a compilation to the database. Its not something someone can own separately so there is no reason to allow it to be added to someone's collection.

Ok i won't, I'll stop adding acrade conversions and homebrews even though this site gives the option to do so I figured if that feature was there to assign homebrews and arcade conversions I guess it was my mistake to add all those arcade conversions to the database
]
the main reason why I added them is because I would like to browse through games in my collection quickly without turning my self into a DJ I just want to log on, look for a game in my collection then see it and decide if I want to play it. I thought this site might be what i was looking for

Classic Video Games / How many members Own/Play Arcade Game Compilations Lets Talk

« on: March 01, 2017, 02:38:00 pm »

Hi I just joined yesterday or the day before and have been adding to the database.  My first question what I am asking is, how many of you have play/played any Arcade compilations?

I own almost all of them for my PS2 and almost 200 of my games are not already here on site. My goal is to put all those games into my VG collection, and my final question is do you consider adding the arcade games found in your all in one disk collection to your VG collection?

If you just care about the games like i do than I highly recommend PS2 arcade compilations such as

Taito Legends 1 & 2 PS2
Midway Arcade Treasures vol (1) & (2) & (3) PS2
Capcom Classics Collections 1 and 2 PS2
Megaman Anniversary Collection PS2
Megaman X Collection
Intellivision Lives PS2
Activition Anthology PS2
Atari Anthology PS2
Sega Genesis Ultimate Collection PS3

Can I still add games only without a decription? because I plan on just to leave it blank for games not in the database thank you guys for checking the Information at IAM. if i find a game that is not listed I will (not) place a description I read the rules 4 times over, my goal is that I am also picky when it comes to game descriptions and I know all you ask is for the truth and I understand that fully. one game photo didnt come out I am not sure why or how that happened I tryed to fix it. please don't ban from this site or backdate.. my final question is the photo, how do make a photo? display without photo shopping it. Are google pics allowed as images on site or does everything have to be custom and photo shopped that is where i am still confused. I never plan on writing another description  and also everything I wrote into the database is the truth according from 3 sources 1:google 2: IAM and 3: Wikipedia just to let you guys know




 something in like a video game compilation impossible to get a photo without the internet that is why I highly recommend you do check the IAM, thank you for being kind I am also kind and i will not take advantage.

Classic Video Games / Re: What failed 90s console do you think had the most potential?

« on: February 28, 2017, 11:25:51 pm »

Hello I'm new to this forum and I would like to say. fist and foremost the Atari Jaguar because if It had better games for it it would have been fun to play. I heard it  had a vary small library we should know  that always can make or break a console.

 second I would say the Sega Saturn because I think it suffered similar fate as the jaguar. I read somewhere that the Sega Saturn was vary hard for companies to program due to it's duel processor and few programmers could code the games made for the Sega Saturn as a result. About the best 2 games on the Saturn ID say was Virtua Fighter 2 and Daytona USA or something USA I forgot.

third I'd say the Dreamcast. I never played a Dreamcast before only seen one for sale but It don't interest me much. I heard it had fantastic games for it not sure because I don't know much about that 6th generation console

I would like to contribute to the database correctly but I don't know how to make my own photos i don't own any box art and I don't know how most of these game photos were made off google just like I said earlier I hate that copyright violation law not because I pirate games but because It seems I can't use anything off the internet basically without violating that law why does a photo of something matter I am not asking you but I am asking why are people so picky?

Welcome!

We appreciate your comments and your eagerness to contribute to the database.

First thing is that we want to make sure you understand how we use the "description" field (per our style guide:

The Description field should be notes about the games packaging variants/ pack ins/ collector's edition details. Or trivia about the games release, such as if it is a launch title, last title, a very limited release,  etc. This should not be filled with store descriptions describing the gameplay or hyping up the title. Plagiarizing descriptions from other sources will not be tolerated and will be deleted.

If you're pulling descriptions from other sites, you might be using the description field incorrectly.

Do you have examples of a record you might want us to check?

yea most of the games i've added are arcade originals most of them I have not played before and as far as all the descriptions written they were just copied and pasted to the details under my collectors username. the ones I'm most worried about are the ones with the decription from the international arcade museum displayed in the link above. I don't have photoshop so all the images are from a google source. I understand facebook's copyright policy but it looks to me at this point that everyone is just loading pictures off the internet or somehow photo shopping them somehow

I do know and trust the International Arcade Museum and Wikipedia. As far as what I was told it is ok to write in things from Wikipedia but not a business or selling type of site from my webmaster training course

hello Im vary new here and I love your site, so far. I have been adding some of my games into the database. and I wanted to let you know I am using the internet and other sites to pull up the needed information that I need for my digital collection. I however do not want to get anyone in trouble. And I am worrying that I am using other sources such as Wikipedia and this international museum at this link https://www.arcade-museum.com/

both site i am using their description not my own, just verify my account additions  I do not know much about what is or is not against the rules or the law I am aware of internet copyrights and it is a pain that some people pick a fight over descriptions and photos taken from other sites please leave me a message or if your a senior or insightful member just leave a response thank you, My goal is to add my entire collection including the details found on the internet for the games not included already inside the database I am running multiple google searches as well to pull up any information and Please tell me if it is ok to add or not
