Tips

Tip #25

Did you know that you can add a featured game to MobyGames? If you think you have a good idea for a featured game, go ahead and submit it.

Tip #5

Once you've added a game entry to MobyGames, make sure you go back and check it out once it's been approved. This not only catches any errors we may make, but lets you rate or review your new game entry as well.

Tip #19

When performing a Keyword Search, you don't have to type the full name; just type a few words (if that's all you can remember) and click the magnifying glass to display all partial matches.

Tip #43

Our motto? Quality over quantity. We'd rather have missing information than wrong information, so if you're not completely sure of a fact or detail, just leave it blank and we'll take care of it (if it needs taking care of).

Tip #66

Help make MobyGames better. Take this survey. MobyGames refuses to serve Pop Up, Pop Under advertising or sell, share rent your personal and private information to anyone in any form. However this project does cost money to run. Advertising helps underwrite some of the expense of our bandwidth and hosting. By filling out this survey you will hopefully help attract better advertisers to MobyGames.

Tip #30

Before adding a game entry, check to see if it's in the database first. Doing so will save you the frustration of having the redundant entry rejected.

Tip #24

If you've put together a fan site dedicated to a particular game and that game isn't in the database, feel free to add it! But even if the game has already been added, you can still contribute your website's URL by viewing the game's rap sheet, then clicking Contribute. After it's approved, it will show up as a Related Website.

Tip #27

Entering a game and don't know what to enter in a particular field or checkbox? Aren't sure what the exact system requirements are for a game? Just leave it blank--we'll take care of it. :-)

Tip #8

Does the search field yield too many results? Use the game browser in the top right corner of the main page to search through specific genres, platforms and/or years.

Tip #52

When adding credits that contain a "Jr." (like 'Robert D. Leonard, Jr.'), don't include the comma. If you do, it gets split up into 'Robert D. Leonard' and 'Jr.' as two different people. Simply omit the comma before the Jr. and it will get added correctly.
