Title: Completeness of Database Post by: eggnog on October 31, 2005, 11:04:05 AM I would like to be able to know for which systems the database is complete for?
I understand that for the new systems like PSP this would be hard to do and new games are being released all the time. But for something like the Sega Saturn I'd like to know if the list of games Euro, Jap, USA, is complete or not... Thanks Title: Re: Completeness of Database Post by: Tynstar on October 31, 2005, 11:07:29 AM I know the Sega Genesis, Sega 32X, Atrai 7800 and Sega Master System all USA are complete.
Look throught the other list and let us know if any games are missing and we will add them. Title: Re: Completeness of Database Post by: Speedy_NES on October 31, 2005, 11:51:48 AM Nintendo NES US is complete, and EU PAL is 99-100% complete...
Like Tynstar said, if you know of a game not listed in the database, we will gladly add it! :) -Speedy Title: Re: Completeness of Database Post by: Izret101 on October 31, 2005, 05:07:55 PM The US SNES list is also 99-100% complete.
There is always the possibility i missed something. O^2 US list is also at 100% XaviX and RDI Halcyon are complete (hahahaha) Could we sticky a "complete system master list" of sorts in the top of this forum?

There's not a simple answer for that, but some of the ways we gathered all this info include: too many years collecting and playing too many video games, looking at the games themselves, collaboration with other web sites, list donations from fellow collectors and gamers, pooling information together from the staff, submissions from our members, scouring the web (and then confirming any information with primary sources), jotting down information from games in second hand stores, searching eBay China and Yahoo Auctions Japan, scanning our games, playing our games, etc., etc., etc. Another important thing is that our staff is not all concentrated in one part of a country or the world. We have staff members all over the U.S., in Canada, and in Europe. We're working on gaining contacts in Japan. There are other ways too. Mostly, it all boils down to a dedicated group of people spending way too much time researching, playing, and collecting video games. |
