More Missing Consoles

[insektmute]

I searched and didn't see any mention, though I might've missed it, but it'd be good to see the PC-98 added. There's admittedly a lot of hentai games for it, but a few gems to be found, like Night Slave and Rude Breaker.

I need the PC-98 and the PC-88 added if I'm ever to list everything I own, so yeah - please add!

Sega Saturn (Brazil) needs a spot too.

where is the smartphone section (or tablet)
i don't own a smartphone but i think if PC is here then smartphones should be here
and there are also smartphone controllers to add as accesories

smartphones/tablets are not consoles or a pc, these devices and OSes designed and marketed for/as high powered phones, its the media and accessories companies that are pushing it as a gaming device and the only reason they this, is because they have nowhere else to go with these devices with out rehashing the same old stuff.

... what he means is that we're not sure how to handle smartphones, if we ever do.

i was just pointing out that smartphones are not consoles or a pc but you do revealed another problem with adding smartphones, there are to many smartphones and smartphone games to add and all of them are disposable, this would make thing's vary difficult for everyone.

Why would it be that hard? Just separate them by Android, IPhone, Windows 8, and pre-smart phone. N-Gage is already in there, right?

Sorry for the delay on all these requests guys. I've finally got some spare time today and I'll be going through added everything I can.

Thanks for your patience!

N-Gage was a short-lived system that used carts, so the software library is fairly limited.

There's a lot of garbage released for phones. A LOT. Not to mention that some of these games will only work in certain hardware configurations, or certain models, or worse.

So I'm against adding phones / smartphones as a supported platform. There. I said it. This is MY OPINION and it doesn't represent the position of VGCollect, the site, and the admins as a whole.

I'm actually with foxhack on this one too. Pretty much verbatim.

there is at least 100 to 300 thousand games if we combining all them on android,iphone,windows 8 and pre smart phone, that's is just unmanageable.

the n-gage is a different story then other smartphones, the original intention for the n-gage was not to be a phone but to be handheld console but when nokia didn't think it would sell well against the GBA, so they added the phone and symbian os part of the device

Totally support this. Disposable devices with disposable content designed to make a quick buck, and no established model for... well, much of anything. I like my phone, but I won't spend a dime on software or games for it, and it seems silly to treat it as a legitimate platform.

[burningdoom]

It's your guys' site, so it's up to you. But isn't most of the adding info work done by members, anyways?
