I present the new games list.

Edit Nov 2022: Someone made a searchable webpage. so people are less you muck it up so here it is… https://game-list-88f56.web.app/

Edit 21 October: Over the 100 we are slowly getting bigger. Also for first entries PLEASE ADD TAGS. Games without tags are a lot harder to filter than those that has them.

Edit 28 September: Thanks for helping out by adding titles to the list. The first 50 are on the list now. If we would add 1 game a week it would grow hard. So help yourself and others and take a little time to add a game you know.

This Games List is still pretty empty and truly relies on YOU users I do not have the time to completely manage a list on my own. To get this working I went to Google Sheets and Google Forms. All edits and all new entries are done using a form. The reason is simple… People can’t muck it up and yes it has proven before that many don’t know what they are doing. Secondly it makes for uniform terminology which helps searching.

How the sheet works.

At the bottom there are several sheet tabs. You’ll always enter through information with some information PLEASE READ IT.

The second sheet called “Gamelist” has the complete games list in an alphabetical order. With CTRL+F you can search but this is limited to one item which gets highlighted, but it could help for quick searches. I have some fields opened which should be hidden for it. The data is pretty unviewable but you can search with CTRL+F this way.

The Third sheet is called “Searchable Tags”. Here you can see all the tags that are can be selected in the form and which you can search for in the Search sheets.

After that there are 8 Locked “Search” forms. Only cell C1 can be used by users on each sheet. Hit OK when a warning pops up. Another limitation is that only one user can search at the same time hence the 8 sheets. When done searching please make the field empty so everyone knows it can be used. A duplicate can be made but please look first for a free slot first. If you create a duplicate then also remove it when you are done.

Every sheet is LOCKED you can only open links and type in cell C1 of the search sheets

What to know when adding a game…

The most important one is be complete. It’s a lot easier to do it right the first time most of all in the tags department. As that will make searching in the end work for you and others as well.

What’s different from the old list:

It should scale a lot better

Users can actually edit a release.

A whole lot more search options.

a con is that there are 8 identical search sheets so 8 users at the time can search. Please empty the search field when you are done. Users can also create a duplicate of a search sheet, but it does mean use some etiquette and remove your duplicate when you’re done.

again the link to the Games List.

    There are a fair few games on that list which appear to have tags inapplicable to their content. Is there a way to review and remove incorrect tags?

      The first link in the post is to the Google doc that drives the site. There are links to the form page where you can make changes.

      Alternatively you can comment here and I can take a look
