Video Game Database Discussion / Question about formatting for SNES white label games.

« on: September 14, 2024, 09:19:35 pm »

Can I get some clarification on how to create these entries?

When I created this entry: https://vgcollect.com/item/158065 I did so without any box art, since it was never sold with a box. Box art was later added, not by me. The tag was also edited to (Majesco / white label). I assumed that meant that white label SNES games should have box art and the (Majesco / white label) tag. So when I created this entry: https://vgcollect.com/item/272541 I gave it box art and the (Majesco / white label) tag, but it was then edited to remove the box art and change the tag to just (white label)

How should I format future white label games to be added to the database?

4th Gen for purely nostalgic reasons. These were the consoles that dominated the market when I was in my early to mid teens and I was playing the games that would become life-long favourites.

General / Re: If you could be the speedrun WR holder for any game what would it be?

« on: March 11, 2024, 12:02:57 pm »

Some weird game that no one has heard of.

I had the WR in a couple categories for Uncharted Waters: New Horizons, but they've since been broken.

This was one of my favourite games as a kid, but I was a weird kid.

This was always one of my favourites.

"This Game Stinks" Probably contributed to EarthBound's commercial failure.

1. Borderlands 2 (PC) - Completed Main Story in December 2023, but placing it here as a placeholder as I intend to complete all DLC in 2024
2. Star Trek: Infinite (PC) - 13 Jan 24
3. Crusader Kings III (PC) - 28 Feb 24 - An open-ended game with no win condition, I defined "Beating" it as finally getting the achievement for completing a full playthrough.
4. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (PS5) - 9 Mar 24

General / Re: How do you feel about Store Exclusive CE's?

« on: October 04, 2023, 09:24:15 pm »

I typically don't like collector's editions because I like my games to look uniform on the shelf. The only collector's edition I've bought in ages is pre-ordering the Jurassic Park collection from LRG, but that's because I'm also a Jurassic Park collector in addition to a game collector.

General / Re: Would you replace a Greatest Hits/Reprint game?

« on: September 11, 2023, 07:15:29 pm »

If I find the development and/or release history of a particular game interesting, I like to have multiple variants. If not, then I'm not too picky about which variant I have, so long as there's no difference in gameplay.

I rarely pre-order anything, let alone Collector's Editions but I just preordered the Jurassic Park Prehistoric Edition for Switch from LRG because Jurassic Park is to this day, my favourite movie of all time.

General / Re: Will digital games make the older physical games more collectible?

« on: August 25, 2023, 09:20:22 pm »

With the trend of rereleasing or remaking older games for digital release, I think it might actually drive down the price for collecting, since those only interested in playing the game, but without an interest in game collecting, will buy the digital version, rather than looking for a physical copy on an outdated console.

My mother kind of bought into the Satanic Panic of the 80s and refused to let me play Dungeons and Dragons. By the time I was a teenager in the 90s though, she softened her stance on it and allowed it begrudgingly.
