Title: Website with comprehensive list of arcade games with pictures?
Post by: batjac on May 04, 2013, 08:57:05 pm

Hi, All.  I've finally got my front end working, and now I'm looking for some of the obscure games from my past.  I've tried searching for sites that have pictures and descriptions, but the ones I find are just "personal favorites"  or "genre specific" lists that people put out.  I've combed through several sites trying to find a comprehensive list, but my Google-Fu is weak.  I've tried searching this site also, but I'm nor finding what I want.

Does anyone know where I can find what I'm looking for?

Thanks

For a more visual approach to searching, Progetto Snaps (http://www.progettosnaps.net/snaps_en.html) lets you bulk download pics of screenshots, cabinets, control panels, etc.

When you find something that looks familiar/interesting, check one of the sites mentioned above for details.

^ This is what I do.  Using MAME UI plus the various picture files (title screens, in game, cab, etc) makes it pretty easy to sift through games to find things that look interesting or nostalgic.
