Tip Of The Day

Release dates can be hard to track down, especially for older games. Always consult multiple sources and compare them with an attentive eye. You can use developer and publisher websites, press releases, newsgroups or online shopping sites. For older games, you can look up earlier information or sites of defunct companies using the cached pages of www.archive.org. A lot of sites simply copy release dates from each other, so be wary. When a game goes "gold", it is sent out for duplication, that is not the release date. Watch out for "shipping dates" as well, it usually takes some more time before the games actually reach the store. When in doubt, you can leave open the day or the month, but for recent releases, an exact date should be possible.   more tips

The year 2011 on MobyGames
Dec 31, 2011 Submitted by Unicorn Lynx Bronze Star Contributing Member (121658)
Patrick Bregger from Germany has become the Top Contributor of the year 2011. It is his first title in the history of MobyGames. He joins Trixter, MAT, Unicorn Lynx, quizzley7, Servo, Xoleras, Martin Smith, Sciere and joyvalley as a MobyChampion. All together, the Germans have won 4 "gold medals", more than any other country. United States follow with 3 titles; Croatia / Japan, Israel, United Kingdom and Belgium are left with 1 gold medal each.

2011 has been a rough year for the website; some would even define it as a crisis year. The amount of contributions has decreased. Only 7 people scored 10000 or more points in 2011, as opposed to 13 in 2010.

On the other hand, addition of historical (FM Towns) and new platforms, as well as the promised reform in adding platforms (meticulously researched tech specs are no longer required) means that the site is still alive and kicking. We wish to thank all the contributors for their hard work, and hope together that the next year will see a flourishing website, receiving the recognition it deserves!

Random Thoughts

Is anti-aliasing even noticeable at resolutions higher than 1280x1024? No. So why are accelerator manufacturers working toward that goal anyway? Because the public is more concerned with statistics and raw speed than features and efficiency. Case in point: Athlon "1800" (real GHz is 1.5, not 1.8), so named because businesses wouldn't buy it otherwise because it sounded "slow" compared to the Pentium. --Jim Leonard
