I like the descriptions, but the page is frikkin huge. I think it's a great idea, tohugh. Perhaps there's a way to break it down to multiple pages or maybe into further categories with anchors.
-
How about including a small thumbnail for each project? You could ask each owner to provide the thumbnail on their own webspace and link straight to it; this would make spotting broken links much easier too (if their site goes down so does the thumbnail).
-
That would not be a good idea, it wouldn't work with my sites as you can't have external links.
-
I'm leaning towards a graphically intense version of the page linked off the main page (so you don't get clobbered without warning), with all images hosted on my server...
-
How about small icons to denote some of the features as submitted on the "Submit Project" link? Like an icon for rotating monitor, 4-player panel, scratch-built or converted, etc. Lots of good information there that is nly put to use on advanced searches...

I second the notion. Great idea!

Excellent idea! I'll give it a whirl!
-
Each section should have a top ten with small pic and expanded description, then the others could be standard smaller links with the icons mentioned above.
-
How about just a simple detailed list (spreadsheet) with all the details on one line per example (a bit like in Mame32+). Make it sortable per column and you could sort the list based on the details.
Is there no registration of the date when the example was added?
