I wanted Crash N' Boys. Was like the only NES game I wanted i didn't get.


Technos made some damn fine games.

We need a new River City Ransom.

If you need an instant audince just base it off one of the aproximitly 379 animes about highschool students who beat each other up for no reason.

But not the one that's thinly based off of Romance of the 3 Kingdoms. That one is just an excuse for constant panty shots.

I assume anyway.  I never got past the first 7 minutes or so.

So I submitted those 3 games, and they all got accepted. But I can't add the boxart because this account doesn't have 100 posts yet! ARGH.

But anyway... I clicked "I own this game!" for all 3, and they're not appearing in my profile yet. Does this take a while or something?

 I'll check and see if they are added yet, if not I'll add em.

They won't appear in your profile until they have boxarts. 



"I feel like I could take on the whole Empire myself."

Oh dammit. That's it. And I can't add boxarts until I reach 100 posts. I'm almost there though. If I put my ENTIRE collection up there, it'll take forever. I've got about 300 NES carts, so I figured I'd just put up some of the gems that have my full love and support.

Maybe I'll submit all the Wisdom Tree games next... You can still buy those at their web site at FULL PRICE today. I have about half of them.

Yeah... i added 3 games myself, then just lost interest.   How could i not add Base Wars though?  Gotta love robots playing baseball... and occasionally fighting... well honestly, doing nothing but fighting, as winning by forfit worked best. Well that and if you were down and couldn't come back you could just bean the other team until they all blew up.  Man that game was cheap. 

 



Oh hell yeah I love that game. And I own it. ::click::

YES! 100 POSTS! Time to add boxarts to all the games I just added! Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, Hydlide, Xexyz, Troddlers, Sesame Street 123, Sesame Street ABC, and Sesame Street ABC & 123!



'He kissed her then and there, she took his ring'

took his babies!

Sorry, had to. Nice sig.



Is there no way to edit the names of games?



River City Ransom on the NES is improperly titled River City Ransom EX, which was the GBA remake.

Wario Ware, Inc: Mega Microgame$ is improperly shortened to Wario Ware.

All the Wario Land games are shortened to Warioland.

Wario Land II takes a roman numeral, but here it's Warioland 2.

Kirby's Block Ball is improperly titled Kirby Block Ball.

Kirby's Dream Land is improperly titled Kirby Dreamland.

Kirby's Pinball Land is improperly titled Kirby Pinball Land.

Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble is missing both the apostrophes.

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 is improperly reversed to Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land.

Forsaken 64 for the N64 is just titled Forsaken, which was its name on every other system.



Is there a way for me to fix all these? Or does a mod need to fix them? When you're adding games, can you make sure that what you type in actually matches what's on the box or the title screen? I'm becoming one of our VGChartz game database janitors over here. If I can fix it myself, I totally will. I'd like to have a nice list of my games with boxarts and whatnot, other than my .txt file on my computer, and I'm very picky about spelling everything right.



Also, I have a question: Should Base Wars be called Base Wars or Cyber Stadium Series: Base Wars? That's been bugging me for a long time, even in my own collection organizing. I know we all call it Base Wars for short, but isn't that the full title, starting with a C?

Damn casual gamers. I blame the Playstation!

 Playstation? That has nothing to do with the database. We should blame the god damned WiiFit.



Is nobody going to read my thread where I air my grievances?

I want to fix stuff. Who's gonna tell me how to do it?
