User AvatarGee-whiz! MobyGames is indeed in X-mas... I mean: Easter, Easter spirit! :D Thank you, Santa Claus!

Jokes aside, guys, remember about Multimedia Mike's list, which contains Resources tab, listing useful references for adding games from these systems:

I'm adding new stuff right away!
User AvatarAdd some more platforms Corn Popper, Please?
User AvatarAdd the SAM Coupé and Amstrad GX4000.

User AvatarGuys, don't act like a spoiled child. You could at least thank first. I'm sure these missing platforms will be added in the near future.

How about contacting those collector/hobbyist websites informing them we're listing games for their beloved old 'puters?

You're right. Thanks for adding these obscure and, often overlooked, platforms. It's about time they got some love.

User AvatarThe main difference is that C16 has 16k memory while Plus4 has 64k. C16 however can be upgraded to 64.

User AvatarAwesome. Personal thanks for SG 1000.

Hopefully PC 6001, Sharp X1 and Fujitsu FM7 will be next!
User AvatarAdd PC-6001, FM-7, Sharp X1, SAM Coupe, Amstrad GX4000, Sinclair QL, SuperGrafx and Thomson MO5
User AvatarOuch, not even a "please."

User AvatarGreat addition :) I was thinking, is it possible that a Soviet computer Elektronika BK could be added to the database at some point?

It also had a few unique games...

+ the more obscure platforms like Specialist and Orion - they're even less documented than the Japanese platforms throughout the western web. Would be great if some of our Russian-speaking contributors could remedy that =)
User AvatarThanks for the new platforms! Though rudely demanding more isn't a great policy, it might be neat to set out a list of options on our horizon and perhaps we could vote month by month on which ones get let out of the gate first. (And then I could move my efforts into moving software platforms etc. that weren't yet on the horizon into that list 8)

Rola (5791), Apr 10, 2012
User AvatarAbout 90 releases on site (with many more pending) within the first 24h, not bad, eh?

Another thing about adding new platforms is that our dedicated yet small team of regular contributors/approvers can process only so much entries daily. Even simply adding ports (i.e. you only need release info) takes some time.

User AvatarEspecially for these smaller platforms where you often just have the copyright date to go after.
User AvatarCan the Casio Loopy be next please?
User AvatarNo, the Casio PV-1000!
Re: April platform additions
Rola (5791), Apr 16, 2012
User Avatar...and thanks to these new platforms we're past the 65.000 milestone!

Hats off to anyone who had contributed to this success!

That, or just have a minimum contribution rating for posting on the forums. But how much be enough without being to high, though.

One point. You just need to rate one game for it, no need for approval and practically instant access. I don't think a spambot is clever enough to comprehend that.
Re: April platform additions
GTramp (17349), May 27, 2012
User AvatarOr exclude that kind of contribution rating altogether to eliminate human spammers as well. Make all points count except those obtained by rating games.
User AvatarJust had a spam count in the threads i know are spam heavy. There's 20 spam messages. In four days. From just one spammer. Something more has definitely got to be done.
