    this is purely awesome. good job

    maybe after this you guys can working on a game collection system like on ign. i figure it wont be that much of a stretch since you'll have a database to work off of. the only problem with it would be imports but i'm sure it'd be easily worked out.

    I added a "how to" page this morning, ripped primarily from the DP Guide texts. If you click any of the "what's this?" links on the search page you'll be taken to the appropriate area. Hope this helps with some of our terminology and philosophy!

    Ok, the inequalities stuff is in. And if you guys really,really want the form stuff to be copyable, I'll do it. It repels my desire to hide implementation, but I'll do it.

    Made a few "efficiency" changes, and added an indicator to the pricing that tells you if our estimate is based on loose or complete titles.

    Big update coming this weekend.

    The long road to populating the images for the 25,000 or so titles in the database has begun! The 3DO section was our guinea pig. Look at Daedalus encounter, Slayer, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, Killing Time, and others for examples of how the screens look with the graphics filled in.

    Links to our complete reviews are also being populated as we go. Enjoy!

    Need any help with scans? I would be more than happy to oblige.

    Spotted a couple of errors in the C64 section...

    1) Double Dragon (Ocean) has the arcade listed as being released in 1982.

    2) The database can't handle non-English characters, witness the "?" in place of an umlauted O in the Rechenlowe titles, and ladk of apostrophes too.

    Also the Vic20 section is still listed as being maintained by Ward

    That's something the C64 section editor has control over. I don't mess with that stuff.

    This one is already on the "honey do" list

    Until this past weekend, it was! I'll correct that for the next upload.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    This is very impressive, and I imagine it took a hell of a lot of work to get everything moved over to a browsable format. Kudos to everyone involved.

    Thanks!

    The process of linking in screen shots, advertisements and box scans, as well as our own game reviews is in progress.

    Also updated: the issue with the non-recognizeable characters producing "?" in the text in some places should be resolved. If anyone spots any of these in their travels on the database, please let me know.

    We're almost ready to go "live".

    What's most impressive is that it's running on a Vax III! I wrote a ton of procedural COBOL and Assembly to build it.

    I get a "Error 504 Bad Gateway" error. My company has a firewall. I'll try from home and see if it works from there but I am on dial up at home.

    I have a lot of SNES games I can give you scans for as well, let me know if you are interested.
