Since it will be awhile before we put out any new books and the online database is a continuing work in progress, I thought I'd start a thread so you know when the database gets significant updates, as well as some pointers as to where those updates reside.
For those of you who haven't seen this yet:

The database is the product of hundreds of dedicated gamers and dozens of researching editors. You can find the editors at the bottom of any given game title. The online database was constructed by my buddy Adam "SpasticFuctard", and this technical aspect will continue to upgrade and improve with new features over time.
To use the database, just select stuff. Pick a system or systems, a section (maybe you just want to look up homebrews, for example), or genre, or leave them all blank for a complete list. You can search by individual title name (it will even search for a word embedded within a game title - so if you type "dinosaur" it will bring up everything with that word in it, including "We're Back: A Dinosaur's Tale") or publisher or game designer and more. There are also optional checkboxes for filtering useful info.
Once a game list appears, you can click on the game TITLE to see details about that game. It's good stuff. Over time, the database will populate with screen shots, box art, and more. We have lots of great ideas that we'll incorporate with this design.
TODAY'S UPDATE!
The Intellivision system is back in place, along with lots of new updates. For example, you'll notice the new Intellivision game STONIX in the Intellivision section now.
There's also a brand new "work in progress" Famicom section (see Nintendo NES Non-US Releases) online, courtesy of Michael Steele.
Have fun with it! More updates and features to follow.
