Only concerned about replacing Platinum versions of my playstation 2 games. I would love all of them to be black and white side labels. That looks hella dope

Video Game Database Discussion / Dynablaster vs. Dyna Blaster

« on: July 05, 2023, 01:26:06 pm »

I was looking through the database and we have some games called dynablaster and dyna blaster.
This includes instances where a website like gamefaqs notes down dyna blaster and we have it as dynablaster, and even the box looks more as if the name should be dyna blaster

Great, I put it in a Morita Shogi - Hudson's Palm OS Software Series Vol.3

Unfortunately European countries are blocked from Japanese Yahoo.

Hi Folks, Josh Here.

I just stumbled onto this site somewhat recently really impressed with what the site offers for collectors. I wanted to introduce myself and hopeful become involved in the community. I am a 23 year old gamer who basically grow up on the GameCube and Nintendo consoles. Right now I'm primarily collecting for the Sega Dreamcast and Wii U.

I'm primarily starting to collect games to be part of collecting and sharing gaming history. There are so many classic gems that are basically lost to time because nobody talks about them and they have never been ported to modern systems. Well that is about it, I hope you guys have a great day.

Welcome

Morita Shogi 64 for palm os
Anybody got information on this game, which would presumably be part of the series as volume 3:
Hudson's Palm OS Software Series Vol.3
https://www.suruga-ya.com/en/product/145028417

We have volume 1 and 2 on record. However, I'm not confident enough to add it to the database

Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Recent Additions to Database

The iOS category is now progressing slowly. 
 
I realized the most important thing in submitting bulk entries like these to a nearly empty category is that sheer quantity is more important than filling out every single detail. If someone new comes to the site and sees these tiny mobile categories they will probably be turned off. As a result, I have chosen to stop researching the developer and release date info and instead will leave them blank for now. Reasons for this being that the app store pages always avoid listing the developers like the plague and the release dates are always inconsistent: firstly, the Apple App Store doesn't list release dates anywhere, instead it's nestled away in the source code for each game (Ctrl+F and search for "datePublished"). Secondly, I've noticed this date can be the date of the prerelease. If a game is put up for preorder or a soft launch, many times the release date on the store pages will reflect that date instead of the actual launch. Or, if a game was republished for any reason, the date will reflect the second launch. It has become so time-consuming trying to verify these dates and developers across like 5-10 different websites and news articles on my extremely poor rural internet so I have chosen to just forgo adding them entirely. 
 
When I can get access to better internet, I'll definitely go back and research the correct dates and developers for this category. If anyone knows of a good source to find this info, I'd love to hear it (not MobyGames, not GameFAQs, not Wikipedia) 
 
Also, I've definitely noticed that my earlier entries from May/early June had a lot of mistakes, so I apologize for that greatly. 
 

I tend to do my site additions based off a resource site. I don't think I have one on my to-do list that is specifically about mobile games, but there are some resources. GameFAQs and Mobygames have sections for Android and IOS.

 
Thanks for this tip, I've been browsing the MobyGames list for inspiration and found a lot of cool titles I had no idea existed, like the mobile Elder Scrolls and Oddworld games.

I know exactly this feeling. I did over a 100 pages on the Nintendo Switch Eshop [EU]
It is really satisfying

I have one steelbook, for fatal frame for the Wii U.
There was not normal version of the game.
I don't like to pick up special/collector's/limited editions of games, so I don't have many steelbooks

In the category listings:
Shouldn't Dragon's Lair (HD-DVD) [NA] https://vgcollect.com/item/105561 be moved to TV DVD Games instead of the current SWAG promo video category?
