Title: Details's Of Video Game Compilations?
Post by: oldgamerz on January 18, 2019, 10:18:56 am
Before explaining this, I need to know if there is anyone else besides myself that wants a new way to sort out games that come in compilation form


Is there a way to see exactly how many video games or perhaps what games are included in various Arcade or other Compilations without adding any new item individually to the database. I would like to see exactly how many games I have in my collection, Since adding the arcade machine or cabinet to the database is not what I should do. However I did add all my arcade compilations but some of them have 80 games on them and plus I would like to clean my collection and get rid of games I don't have in physical form. (for example) I don't own the NES cartridge of Megaman, but I do have the same exact game one of my PS2 compilation game disc called" Mega Man Anniversary Collection"


I guess I am asking if there was some way anyobody the operates VGcollect to add a separate section to the database just for compilations where the details of them can be sorted out. (and counted as items) For example Mega Man Anniversary Collection contains 10  games, on one disc but those are not 10 games individually, how would you add them individually to the database. After all we do have Steam games in the database :-\

It has been asked about before but currently it is not something that the site can do.

Not sure if you have a Backloggery account, but you can do that there.

I know it's not the same, but maybe the games a compilation includes could be added in the description box. Just a thought, of course.
