Hey all, Just and update on CGC; I've pretty much completed the collection importer, but I've decided to hold off on making it public. The masterlist simply is not expansive enough for it to be effective. So, I'm just concentrating on building the masterlist, and when I feel it's large enough to make the importer effective, I will make it available at that point.
Building the masterlist by hand is something of a task (to say the least). Alot of games have multiple box designs, so finding scans & maker/year information can be time consuming. For instance, there are 32 entries for Scott Adams Classic Adventures, because Adventureland had at least 4 differing box types, 3 for Voodoo Castle, etc. You get he picture. The list has nearly 700 entries as of today. One of my personal goals for doing this is to learn everything I can about the history of computer gaming; and I've already learned boat loads as a result! I'm determined to add to the list maticulously, even it takes a very long time. I think the end result will be worth it. - I'm adding games to the best of my ability with the information available to me (the internet). Of course, something might be inaccurate, such as a year, or missing box design, so if you see anything inaccurate, please, let me know with corrective information. - Also if you have box scans of any games that don't currently have box scans, email those too. Front, and back (optional). - Lastly, if you want to help; If you have an expertise in a particular company, game, genre etc and are confident you can help the list grow responsibly and accurately, drop me a line and I can give you permissions to add to the masterlist on the website.
