Category/Platform Requests (Archive)

[ferraroso]

I would deeply appreciate if we could have a Playstation 4 [ BR ] platform.

But my number one request has to be for the Pippin! This console has many peripherals, softwares and games and I never feel confortable adding these items to the "Hardware" and "Other" categories...

Can you Add Wild Guns Reloaded on Steam it seems to be missing from the database

Anyone can add a missing entry. I made this one so you can see how a Steam entry should look:

[firebrandx]

thank you, im new to this kind of editing and adding entries

[thegouldfish]

Could I get the following new categories added:

Dedicated Console Accessory
(I have a light gun to add which was for the binatone mark 4 + 2 and mark 6.


and 2 new platforms:

Ingersoll.
Ingersoll - Consoles
Ingersoll - Games


Mercury.
Mercury - Consoles

Pictures of the machines that go with those machines can be found here: http://imgur.com/gallery/57ghY
And while techicnally they are pong machines they do accept "carts" with different games on them

I have a new hardware request...

The Mattel HyperScan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperScan

I'm sure there are those out there who collect for it. And only 5 games were made for it.

It's currently listed under the "other" section

Oh, ok thank you. I should have been more thorough, haha.

[telly]

Haha no problem! To be fair, it's smushed in the generic "other" section, so it's really hard to find

When I asked could I clean up DVD games on other category in other section so that they wouldn't be on all over the category but instead under same title on this thread (https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,8511.0.html) it was suggested to me that instead of cleaning the category I should request creation of DVD game category in other section. So here's the request.

[tripredacus]

1. Remove SG-1000 II [JP] sub-category (it is currently empty)
https://vgcollect.com/browse/sg1000II
This is a hardware variant, not a separate game library (would be the equivalent of having a Master System II [EU] category)

2. Remove SC-3000 [JP] sub-category (it is currently empty)
https://vgcollect.com/browse/sc3000
SC-3000 Does not have any platform specific games.

3. Move Sega SG-1000 [TW] sub-category from Sega Other category and put into Sega SG-1000 category
https://vgcollect.com/browse/segasg1000tw

4. Move Sega SC-3000 Hardware sub-category from Sega Other category and put into Sega SG-1000 category
https://vgcollect.com/browse/sc3000hardware

5. Delete Sega Other category

6. Add Sega SG-1000 [EU] sub-category to Sega SG-1000 category.

--

- Change name of PC - Digital Download [NA] sub-category (in PC category) to PC - Digital Download. Remove [NA] from it.

--

- Add Swag - Game Cards sub-category to Swag category.

I have added both of these. I hope to get to some more of the updates soon.

Thanks,

I believe we need some new categories that allow games on compilation discs to be listed in our collections.
Examples of these new categories could be: "Xbox 360 - On Compilation Disc" and "Playstation 3 - On Compilation Disc"

I have read the OFFICIAL Style Guide at https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,22.msg155.html#msg155

And, I have read this post:

The database is designed for the actual physical items, not the games (data) itself.

So as an example, I have this item "Epic Megagames Adventures"
https://vgcollect.com/item/112953

It is a bundle of some full version and shareware titles. I do not go and add the individual games to my collection, but I add this one item.

Yet it still does leave me with a situation that I still need to handle outside of the site currently. Of all my compilation items, I need to keep a separate list of what is contained and on what disc. This also applies to Demo discs.

But, the database does not only track "actual physical items", it also tracks "Digital Downloads".

I will use the game "Vectorman" as an example:

Existing entries for “Vectorman” (as of 2017_09_18)
https://vgcollect.com/item/9574   Sega Genesis [NA]   523
https://vgcollect.com/item/14859 Wii Shop [NA]   5
https://vgcollect.com/item/21148 Steam      16
https://vgcollect.com/item/39111 Sega Mega Drive [EU]      38
https://vgcollect.com/item/87018 PC - Digital Download      1
https://vgcollect.com/item/114030 Sega Mega Drive 1

584 users have “Vectorman” listed in their collection, of which only 22 are Digital Downloads.

Existing entries for “Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection” that includes “Vectorman” (as of 2017_09_18)
https://vgcollect.com/item/8491 Xbox 360 [NA]      238
https://vgcollect.com/item/9614 PlayStation 3 [NA]   400
https://vgcollect.com/item/18292 Xbox 360 [NA]   94
https://vgcollect.com/item/63950 PlayStation 3 [NA]   28

So, 760 additional users actually own the game “Vectorman” that is included their “Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection” disc.

But, these 760 users are not allowed to have the game individually listed in their on-line collection, and therefore cannot do a search to see if they own the game.

Why can't I see the game "Vectorman" listed in my collection. It's sort of like, I feel penalized because I purchased the game on a physical disc, instead of purchasing it as a digital download.

We would need the ability to set parent and child entries before we can have a setup like this. I do not think creating additional categories is the way to go here.

[telly]

I'd like to make a request for an "E-Reader Cards" category.

Since we now have an "interactive figures and cards" section it would be a better fit under that, and I don't feel like it's appropriate to be in the GBA category as they are not GBA games, there are e-reader cards specifically for the GameCube, like Animal Crossing.
