General / Re: You guys know of proper methods for storing your game consoles?

In plastic containers with lockable lids, and maybe some kind of desiccant as well depending on your local climate

I'm also experiencing this issue, even when I'm logged in the button only appears sometimes. I find I have to go to https://vgcollect.com/submit manually to submit anything sometimes

Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Duplicate List 2018

I've done some digging and found the origin for some of the loose discs I have in my collection which I added, and it turns out they were already in the database as
Original:
https://vgcollect.com/item/124478

So these three can go:

Video Game Database Discussion / Games bundled with graphics card - what to use for box art?

« on: December 28, 2018, 06:11:59 pm »

I have a few loose games which I picked up in a file case I bought at a flea market, and they are most likely from an ASUS EAX1600XT card bundle. Previously I just entered them individually, but what would be the best approach here? A single entry? Or just leave them separate?

What's the best thing to use for box art? Or should I just leave this blank?

Video Game Database Discussion / Rejected edits to *very* sparse entry

« on: December 20, 2018, 08:31:35 pm »

Tried making edits to https://vgcollect.com/item/74334 - a very sparse entry, the only clue to what this actually refers to is "probably the oldest DOS Hoyle game", which is Hoyle's official book of games, published by sierra in 1989.

I tried fleshing this out but my edits were rejected without too much information as to why. It seems weird that even the release year got rejected... is there possibly an issue with ambiguity over what this entry is actually supposed to be? Should I submit as a new entry?
