Thread: Commercial games missing on the main site
Demon Cleaner 08:37 17th April 2007
If you find any commercial game that is missing from the main site, please name it here, and it will be added as soon as possible. I'm sure that there are still some games missing, as there are so many.

I add a table here for myself, so I can always edit the new games I found to have a better overview. As I'm currently adding screenshots alphabetically, I come across of some non existing games in our database. I'm of course also using the spreadsheets to add the games, but here, also everyone can see what games have been added recently, instead of looking through the spreadsheets.

I have Action Stations! and already tested it, but I didn't take any screenshots, because it had no title screen, and is only text based if I remember right. That was the main reason I didn't add it yet.

I will add the other two you've posted. Thanks.

EDIT: Games added.

When I get chance I will definitely need to go through the games lists from the old site and double check if we are missing anything else on the new one.

BTW, just a quick bit of nostalgia. The old site didn't use a database as such at all. I coded all of the game entries into php arrays on the actual site pages (that was before I had access or experience of databases with php and mysql). It was a nightmare to update and required much more work than the current site to add new features, as I had to amend the array structure and the php code functions that used it, although the actual pages did build themselves automatically from the code and I only ever needed to edit the arrays.

Thanks.

BTW: I searched for Squibbly in the main search box (the one under the classicamiga logo), and when I clicked on the entry from the search results I got "You are not authorised to view this resource. You need to login." I wasn't logged in at the time, but I'd imagine it's meant to be publicly accessible and viewable.

Indeed, it should be visible.

I didn't found "Space Ace" on the main site, the game is very similar to "Dragon's Lair". I think the graphics were even better.

Space Ace was released after Dragon's Lair and is also a Laserdisc arcade game. The graphics in the original were the same, it was animation. The game also had the same gameplay as Dragon's Lair. If you want more information about Laserdisc games, have a look at the Daphne emulator which allows you to play the games on your PC, assumed you have the ROMs for it, which are downloadable at Pleasuredome for FREE (almost 60GB though).
