Retro Game Database?

[Dawg]

Would anybody be interested in such a website? I know there are some out there, but not ones that feature everything about a game. Such as: Boxart, screenshots, codes, passwords, faqs, saves, endings, bosses, reviews, etc. under one site, so that someone looking for such information doesn't have to search through a dozen sites to find what they are looking for. And... Cover every retro system that came out, including some modern ones or those that are small and for kids. (V.Smile for example.) I ask because I have been making such a site for several years now and through many revisions. It has never been online, but I have been thinking about putting some of it up. What I can use eventually is people who can contribute scans, codes, etc, including reviews of video games. Sound good? Currently, I have been working on the original Nintendo's games. Way I look at it, this stuff should be considered news worthy, something to be remembered and shared. I will NOT share any rom files since many companies frown upon that, but information about each game like other sites do. A museum of sorts so they will never be forgotten. Dawg

Damn straight Dawg. A complete database would be very cool indeed as I often cruise by similar sites just to get little waves of nostalgia here and there. There's one or two that I know of that show box covers, booklets and mag reviews of most games from the Atari upward but there's not enough of these museums for my liking. For example, not long ago I downloaded The Hobbit for the ZX Spectrum home computer. I could never complete it as a kid so I tracked down a walkthrough from an online database and finished it for the first time ever, a good 20+ years after I last played it! Hell yes, I support these sites. Get cracking man!

I would eventually like to do arcade, computer, and specific PC games like First Person Shooters, (Wolfenstein, Doom, etc), and Graphic Adventures games, (King's Quest, Space Quest). Sound good? Dawg

Does sound good indeed. I like the screenshot too, very retro and arcadey.
