Yep:  http://www.mobygames.com/info/MobyScale  Is this link not in the version
you have?  If not, it may not be the most current.

Rather than try to dig up my own copy, I just searched on Google.
This link isn't indexed by Google, nor does it seem to have any pages
linking to it.  So it appears no one has the complete, latest version
of the document on their sites except you.

BTW, this is the one thing that bothers me about MobyGames.  It's
often hard to find non-database content.  For example, when I start a
new game entry, there's a link to new game style-guide.  But what
usually happens is I get down to the description and want to add a
Moby tag.  So then I go look for a link to the style-guide and can't
find one because the Game Wizard is the only place it appears.

RE: [SWCollect] MobyScale question

I would say that yes; the book is ED.  However, if you're using the
abbreviated form and grading the entire contents of the game with one grade,
I would not list the entire contents as ED.  If everything else was F (for
example), it might bring down the contents to VG or G (it's subjective, of
course).

I only grade contents as a whole, so I don't get into grading disks
separately from sleeves, but I would certainly mention the sleeves as
missing in the notes and would use MMC for the box contents.  Since you're
already going a step further and detailing out specific contents, I'd say
it's up to you to decide what to apply the scale to.  As long as it isn't
misleading, do what you want.

Jim and anyone else that wants to chime in,

Please make sure I'm using the MobyScale right.  I have a copy of
Ultima IV where the Book of Magic has been written in.  Spell
components were underlined (in pen) and many pages have a series of
letters written at the top (e.g. A, D, E).  The last three pages,
which should be blank, have been written in a great deal.  Does this
make this book ED?

Another question:  should disks and sleeves be graded together or
separately.  This same package has the original disks with wear, but
they're not in the original sleeves.  Should I list them as Disks:
G/MMC?  (I'd probably put a note after that explaining the rating.)

Also, is there not an official page for the MobyScale at
MobyGames.com?  I can't find one and Google returns the ones at YOIS
and GOTCHA.
