[SWCollect] RPG moved to main genre list

2003-02-12 Thread Jim Leonard
Just a quick note that, after everyone's helpful discussion, Role-Playing
(RPG) has indeed been moved to the main genres list at MobyGames.  It was
ultimatly the suggestion of Rogue-like games that broke me :) because I
couldn't place them in any of our existing main genres.

A full explaination is posted to the main page at www.mobygames.com.  Also,
the current poll asks what kind of game manual you like -- I assume everyone
here is going to vote for full :-)

Re: [SWCollect] Using MobyGames Info

No feedback on this -- is this information helpful/useful?  If not, let me
know.  We aim to please.

  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!
