ANNC: Games Database

[tspeirs]

I hope its ok to post here. Sorry if not, but it is is relevant to the user base here.
______________________________

Ive jsut gone live with a new site and am trying to get the word out there.

Games Database is a site aimed at 30+ retro video game enthusiasts, with a goal of being a repository for all available media and data relating to video games.
You will find live on line videos for thousands of games. As well as artwork, and information on games, their developers, publishers and the systems they run on. It takes a slightly different approach from existing games sites, with the data being based on emulation information, and available media currently used with emulators and front ends. It also provides media such as game manuals, system manuals and advertisements in a single site.

Visit the site at http://gamesdbase.com and please spread the word about it. Due to the amount of content, hosting is not cheap, so I would like the ad supported site to become reasonably known.

The site would not be possible without the help and development work from Ben Baker of Headsoft (http://headsoft.com.au), and tireless effort from the retrobytes portal (http://retrobytesportal.co.uk ) and emumovies (http://www.emumovies.com)

In the near future the site will be expanded to become a community and allow user interaction and contribution. Additional content is also constantly being added.

Feedback and suggestions are actively encouraged and there is a forum here: http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showforum=12

Nice idea, I just wich I could add these database to my own fe, MultiFE. But I still respect its exclusive to the GameEX and then even have not tried to add the MS acess database to MultiFE from the GameEX directory.

How much traffic does it really use or would been use in full scala?

Looks like this is for console games, and not arcade games?

MAWS pretty much covers arcade games

[TheShanMan]

Yeah, of course I know about MAWS. But it looked like this site would have some advantages over MAWS (namely, video and manuals). Just wanted to clarify that it didn't seem to have arcade games because I don't see any mention of that in the OP.

Yeah I agree actually, it would also be nice to be able to see what arcade games are on other systems too.

Im looking at adding arcade games to it at the moment. So I think that will likely happen.

[TheShanMan]

Very cool.

Arcade games have been added to the database

[tspeirs]

Id just like to add, a lot of game music has also been added, and its now possible to view a single list with all games that have music, manuals, or videos.
