System List

[tholly]

i like how quickly you guys add missing games to a list, so i will probably continue to use this since my previous list on IGN never gets missing games bc they never add them

BUT, i would love to be able to also list what system i have, not just games....i dont know of any collection list site that would allow me to do that.....just an idea

[den68]

and it would be cool if that system list could show the number of games you had for each system. a bar graph perhaps?

[tholly]

also, you couldnt just have "gamecube" in the system list

you would need "black gamecube", "indigo gamecube", "platinum gamecube", etc.....

Yeah the database is set up for all of this already.  I planned for this when I designed the layout of everything, particularly the ID# system.  A basic ID# is like this:

U-027-S-00010-A

The U tells us it is an item in the USA region.

The 027 tells us it is a NES item.

The S tells us it is a software item.

The 00010 is the software item #.

The A is the item's variation code.

So, the S can easily be changed to H for hardware.  So what you might have, for example, would be:

U-027-H-00001-A     NES Console
U-027-H-00002-A     NES Toploader Console
etc.

These would show up in the database as regular items.  They will be given a different page template since it obviously doesn't make sense to have things lige "genre" criteria for a console or controller.  However, these pages with full ID#'s will be item-specific.  Thus, the Toploader page won't have a software list or # of games or anything like that.

Instead, each collective console "mini-database" will have its own page.  These will have all kinds of info and links, but currently I'm still working on the layout for all of this.  Hopefully Eddie and I can get this together or at least started this month.

That would kick ass!!!

[Lord Nepenthean]

You wanna help?  Heh.

[Izret101]

I would gladly... but you already knew that.

It would be real cool to have this (as i have said before)
Is there going to be listings for the different system packages? (EG Metroid Prime Bundle Pack) EDIT[I just thought about this question and realized that there would be if there was already the option to have various colored systems.]

Also what will we do for images? Take pictures?

[Lord Nepenthean]

Yes and yes.

[tholly]

i can provide pictures if needed

one pic that a lot of people might not be able to get is the mountain dew xbox that i have...i cant take a pic of that + everything that orginally came in the box

[Tynstar]

I will help with what I can.  What do you need done?

[den68]

I'll volunteer pictures as well. I've got a few not many people may have like the Watara Supervision, Microvision and Action Max.

[Izret101]

I will offer what i have too.
The only thing i have that i don't think anyone here does is the Halo Xbox.

I have the ROB NES combo to but i don't have the cardboad box.

[Izret101]

I knew if anyone had it it would be you...

I also have 2 different N64 boxes, original and Atomic Purple controller
Donkey Kong Country SNES
NES 2nd Model
Colecovision
Pink(Thanks Dan) Black, Platinum GBA
Atomic Purple GBC
PSone That has a second case cover over it
2 Differnt Genesis boxes one with Sonic as a packin the other is original
Those are the other ones people might not have.

I know Anti has the N64 atomic Purple one and Tynstar has the 2nd model NES and everyone probably has the original N64 box.
