[SWCollect] Using MobyGames Info

 Actually, Jim, this brings up something I wanted to ask you: Would it be
 possible for me to get a basic list of gameID, title, and publisher from
 Moby?  I've considered setting up links from my trade and vault items to
 MobyGames, if additional info on the games exists... with your permission,
 of course.  Like what GameTZ uses.

How about what GameTZ uses *exactly*?  Here's the link:

http://www.mobygames.com/misc/ugtz_download

I cleared it with my partners, so you (and any other website implementors on
this list) are allowed to use it provided that you make it obvious you are
linking to MobyGames somehow, either through text or a tiny graphic or
something.  (Link text of just more info, etc. would not be enough.)  We
provided the little icon that UGTZ/GameTZ uses, so feel free to save it from
their pages and use it.  If you need larger icons or ads, you can find them
here:  http://www.mobygames.com/info/link/ 

The output of the above link is very simple:

Banjo-Kazooie; Nintendo 64; http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId=3583
Sonic Adventure; Dreamcast; http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId=3530
Quake II; DOS; http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId=405

..etc.  For older PC games, most collectors on this list will only look at
the DOS and Booter platforms.  Sorry, no C64 or Atari yet, but they are
planned to be implemented.

If you have any questions, just ask.  Again, our only requirement is that you
make it obvious it's MobyGames you're linking to.  Automatically pulling the
info up in framesets or otherwise disguising MobyGames' information will
probably get us miffed :)  Otherwise, enjoy!

Speaking of Zork, y'all might not care (or you might think it's neat),
but I co-created Infocom's InfoDOS that was the OS for Zork Zero,
Arthur  2 other Infocom titles.  Back in the 80's. :O

 Why do I have a feeling that if this hobby ever goes the way 
 of other ones, with a price guide and stuff like that, my 
 collection is going to be worth nothing?
 
 (Let's see, a NM Zork Trilogy is worth $500, but a F Zork 
 Trilogy is $5. Too bad.)

 I'd downgrade to Fine myself, but that's just me.  If I see 
 NM (S) anywhere I will know what it means.

  I agree that NM (S) is possible if there is one extremely minor 
  defect,
 but
  the box is still sealed.  I will modify the main page at 
 mobygames to
 reflect
  this if there are none opposed.  Anyone?
 
  Just try to spell out what extremely minor means.
 
  What are people's beliefs regarding Near Mint.  Do you 
 think if it 
  has any defect whatsoever (e.g. bent corner), it's 
 downgraded to Fine? 
  Do you think if it (part of the contents) looks like it did when it 
  came out of the package, it's Near Mint, despite any minor 
 dings that 
  occurred during shipping?  I suspect I was very strict in my recent 
  auctions and listed things as Fine others might have said were Near 
  Mint.  I'd rather be accused of being overly strict than overly lax.
