Site Feedback / Re: Some console names include manufacturer, some don't.

That sounds pretty subjective; I don't normally refer to it as the "Sega Game Gear", for example. You're right that saying "NEC TurboGrafx 16" would be awkward, but simply saying "Game Gear" or "Genesis" is much less awkward. Exceptions could be made for the NES and 2600, but by and large I think it would work better if all manufacturer names were removed from the titles. In my opinion, anyways.

Site Feedback / Some console names include manufacturer, some don't.

I've noticed that some consoles are listed such that their manufacturer is included in the title. For example, the Game Gear is listed as "Sega Game Gear" and the Saturn is listed as "Sega Saturn". On the other hand, most other consoles are listed by name only, such as "Game Boy" or "Dreamcast". I realize some consoles sort of require this, as it would be awkward to list the Atari 2600 as simply the "2600" or the NES as the... "Entertainment System"? But this inconsistency is kind of annoying when I'm quickly trying to choose a console, especially in the drop-down menu in the advanced search window.

Just thought I'd throw that out there,

Thanks.

PS2 and Dreamcast for sure. I also know quite a bit about specific franchises, such as Metal Gear, Gran Turismo, and Dead or Alive.

I took the liberty of relabeling Big Bumpin' and Sneak King as 360 games.

Site Feedback / Burger King Games - Xbox or 360?

« on: December 22, 2011, 05:50:41 pm »

As many of you probably know, Burger King published three games a few years ago: Big Bumpin', Sneak King, and PocketBike Racer. These games were unique in that a single disc contained both the Xbox and Xbox 360 versions of the game. So then, how should these games be categorized? Currently, Sneak King is listed as a 360 game, but the other two are listed as original Xbox games. Should a new category, Xbox/360, be created?
