Here is the list:
1) Multiple savable Grid Views
so one could select one Grid view with 15 columns and switch to another with ie: 20 columns
2) Sort by key from several fields
like in Excel, sort for example by platform first, then by year, then by name
3) System Requirements
more details, at least:
processor
graphics
memory
disk space
operating system
also it should be possible to note on what kind of systems the game will run
4) Subgenre field
5) ability to select multiple languages for one game
6) List of values limited to platform type
so field ie.: Format does not allow to choose cartridge for PC games (should not be even on the list)
7) Multipacks field (can be named differently)
one field to allow grouping on it
in case there is a pack of games ie.: Wing Commander Trilogy
or there are several games on one CD (like special newspapers edition) etc. |

6) Yes, you are right - game come usually for one platform only (different binaries usually)
What I meant is when you edit/enter a game the list of values for example "Format" field is for all platforms. It leads to a situation where for a PC game you can use Cartridge as a format. I have never heard of cartridge for IBM PC. Or PC game released as ATR file etc (like new Atari games). There are probably more examples.
So it would be usefull to have the possibility to limit the list of values to specific platform type so you don't have to scroll the list containing all platform specific values in order to find the right value at the end.
8) Last thing I forgot: Copy protection field
When I come back to a game after many years I would like to know what copy protection was used (Should I look for the manual for certain words/codes, will I need CD/floppy available to run the game or installation key etc.) |

3) it depends on the information shown on the specific site you update from.
5) good idia, some games come with several languages that you choose from on installation.
6) what do you mean? i know that some games come on multiple platforms but when you have a game in your collection it's probably on a specific platform (only one). if you have the same game for more than one, PC and PS3 for example, then i think you should have them as seperate games in the database, one as a PC platform with a pc cover, and one as a PS3 platform vith a PS3 cover. |
