I'm about 90 percent finished adding all the Dragon 32/64 games I can find. I've now quite thoroughly documented the TRS-80, VIC-20, Trs-80 CoCo, Apple II, and Dragon. Any idea what weird old system not well documented here I should work on next?

Thinking maybe Oric, TI-99/4a, or maybe the Newbrain. I don't think my Japanese is good enough yet for those old Japanese systems.

Preferably not the Commodore 64 or Spectrum. Way too many games there.

Also, I've now written more descriptions than any other contributor.

You've been on a roll for years now, great work documenting so many lesser known titles in full.

Thanks. Mobygames has always been pretty weak on really early PC titles, but it's gotten better.

Tremendous and outstanding work!

Perhaps the early, lesser known UK computers like Tatung Einstein or Camputers Lynx have some appeal? Their libraries should be comparably small, i assume.

Fantastic work.

How's your French? The origins of the French industry largely lie with the Oric, and also with the Thomson machines and later the Amstrad CPC. There must be hundreds of early French games still unaccounted for in the database.

That's an idea. I have 12 years of public school french. I can get through the basics.

Great work! Even more so just because you're also actually writing descriptions.

You continue to do excellent work! Well done on this.

Personally, I know so, so little about Newbrain. Honestly not much more with Oric. Either one of those seems like a great choice. I'm sure whatever gaps you find in the database to plug will all be in good service.
