Anything that is rigorously scripted like the ones in Batman Arkham Asylum.

Made the mention at the beginning here:

I put it on my list to redo that portion of the Style Guide to combine those sections in the future.

Classic Video Games / Re: Do you put your game discs inside a disc wallet?
« on: August 08, 2025, 09:18:41 am »
A spammer bumped this topic but I will do a normal reply anyways.
I have some loose discs that I do put in a CD book and some others are on a spindle. I multiple large CD books for holding computer software, one of which is just loose PC games.

It is possible the front art on 103016 was removed manually by an admin/mod after the sheet was generated.

I had encountered some entries that had (for whatever reason) the placeholder "No Art" image uploaded to the front image slot.

Last weekend I got to work a pinball tournament that was part of the Stern Pro Circuit. Overall I spent around 48 hours in one location over 4 days. It was a weekend to remember for sure.
As far as the particular events go, I only did well in the side tournament where I finished 7th. For the main I finished 97th and in classics it was 67th. It is as to be expected, first I didn't have as much time to play as in previous majors I've competed in, plus I was also competing against pro players. The person who won the main tournament is ranked #1 in the world.

Jason is working on upgrading the memory on the server which should resolve some of the stability issues we've been having.
As a result, this action may involve a short period of downtime.

Video Game Database Discussion / Re: How should regional publishers be approached
« on: July 28, 2025, 11:54:24 am »
There is a difference between a publisher and a distributor. Typically, distributors do not get put into the Publisher option but can be put into description.
It is not really easy to give a general answer, but an item entry is for that exact thing and should not be generic or use information from other versions. If you need help with a specific item, you can post about that specifically and maybe someone can give an answer.

Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Error Listings and Rejected Edits 2025
« on: July 24, 2025, 09:21:12 am »I have questions regarding entry https://www.vgcollect.com/item/120284 for Mouse Trap [DE] for the Colecovision:
Front image art: I can find no record anywhere of this box front style being sold for the Colecovision, and the image provided does not identify the compatible console that it is for. In fact, it is very similar to the European CBS box styles released for the Intellivision. An example can be found here: https://www.ebay.de/itm/267124767714? and you will notice in this listing that the cellophane on the box is torn, and the console sticker is attached to the cellophane. It's quite possible the image in the entry in question was uploaded from an intellivision box in which the cellophane has been removed thus also removing the console label.
Rear and Cartridge image: This two images appear to be from the Australian release which is in the database here: https://www.vgcollect.com/item/284551 and also here: https://www.colecoboxart.com/coleco_mousetrap.htm . Unfortunately, the image quality of the entry in question is poor, and the item #s can't be identified (would start with ACC if it's indeed Australian). What I can say, is that the additional item #s on the cartridge image, CC241901 and 4L1988, match that reported by colecoboxart for the Australian release and also correspond to the item # on the box, ACC 241901
Thus, in my opinion, this entry is a Frankenstein entry with an Intellivision [EU] front image and a Colecovision [AU] back and cart image. Since the title states that this is a German title, then it would correspond to: https://www.vgcollect.com/item/284523 that I just recently uploaded.
The front seems to be probably from a catalog scan. If you look at the Atari 2600 catalog scans, some are very similar:
https://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-mouse-trap_14104.html
The back and the cart look to be from here:
http://colecovision.dk/mouse-trap.htm
I will remove the front art, and if this version is not actually a [DE] (it was named as such due to the front art most likely) then we can change the TLD or make a descriptor as appropriate.

I'd prefer not to add a demo category for that or even individual systems at this time. The only split sub-cat names we have now are in the SMS category and those are set to be looked into in the future.
If there is a good amount of actual demos that are found for either or both systems, we can consider it. For now, we do not need to make a sub-cat just for those as the release type option on the entry already allows for setting the item as a demo.
