This has been on our list of projects for a long, long tiime and I am happy to announce that the BETA version of the Digital Press ONLINE Collector's Guide is now a reality!

It's not PDFs. It's a searchable database that lets you filter and view your game lists thousands of different combinations, and then view all of the details for the games themselves. For example:

- You're going hunting for Sega CD games. You can simply call up a complete list of US released - Sega CD games and print it out. Now you've got your rarity list "cheat sheet" with you on the hunt.

- You're interested in all of the DP recommended Atari 2600 titles. Select Atari 2600 and check off the "recommended" box and whammo!

- You're looking for games by that guy - what's his name? - that did Barnstorming. Look up Barnstorming, click on the game from the list, and when the designer's name appears in the game details, click his name - instant list by designer!

- You're curious what arcade ports were made for the Intellivision. Easy.

- You want to see all of the games that were supposed to be released in 1985 and never were. A breeze.

- You want to get all of the Atari systems into a single list, showing only those games that have Easter Eggs (tricks). Piece o' cake.

- You want to see screen shots of every Earthworm Jim game. Advertisements too. A cinch!

- You want to see every game with the word "Mario" in the title. Child's play!

- You want to list all of the 8's, 9's and 10's for all US systems, then sort them from rarest to least of the rare. No sweat!

- You're really just into the history and lore. Pick a company, a system, a game, ANYTHING. read the game description, which will have links to other similar games in the genre, on the system, by that manufacturer, developer, etc etc etc

Oh, you probably want that link!

PLEASE NOTE: This is a BETA. It's running on our test box and there are a few hiccups to work out and our content is eternally growing (no pictures in this version yet). The engine itself is good to go, however, it's quite fast and even at this first stage is incredibly handy!

Give it a test drive and let us know what you think.
