We are looking for approvers. The biggest challenge we face at MobyGames is making sure all the contributions get reviewed and approved in a timely and consistent manner.

Check out what we are looking for here. If you don't see what you are looking for drop me an email at contributions@mobygames.com. Also we are hoping to add Atari 2600, Commodore 64/128, CollecoVision and Intellivision platforms soon. Drop us a line if you want to help approve for those platforms or can help us straighten out all the technical specifications and game requirements.

Ever wonder how you could get a bronze star ( ) next to your name.
