I'm making a list of game factoids for a project (not expecting to make a profit from it or anything, fwiw.)
I've got about half of my goal done so far--mostly Genesis games, hardware, and misc. history, and although I don't want to slow down, I'm starting to have nightmares about browser tabs chasing me through a dark forest, and in any case it occurred to me to try to recruit help.
If anyone is the kind of person who enjoys killing time reading stuff on the internet and would be interested in helping me to compile this (specifically, collecting one fact per game and inputting it into a spreadsheet based on provided examples, although creativity and input in the included games and types of facts is also welcome), I would be happy to offer something in the way of compensation for the time and effort, and if it's ever published anywhere, credit including a link to said person's site if any.
Below are the numbers of games per console I'm including and haven't done yet. The actual games are compiled from "best" or "most important" or "highest rated" lists.
Sorry if vague, but if anyone wants to help with any of the below consoles, I can provide a better explanation to interested persons if any. To distill it simply, this is the task of going down a list of games, thinking up or researching a fact about each game, and typing said fact into a spreadsheet.
ps 75
ps2 75
ps3 30
xbox 75
xbox360 30
snes 100
nes 100
sms 30
2600 30
arcade 75
dreamcast 35
segacd 20
32x 20
gb[+color] 30
gba 30
ds 30
TG-16+CD 35
neogeo+cd 25
pc 100
gamecube 50
wii 50
n64 50
BTW I know I'm snubbing some of the rarer systems you guys probably love, but they are also represented in smaller numbers.
