There’s a (still somewhat) new, all-encompassing gaming wiki that covers ALL gaming aspects, including online games, in case you’ve played a great flash game that you want to write about, an awful one that you can bash in comments, or even one somewhere in between.
videogame-database.wikia.com/wiki/
Like the Vectrex wiki, it has badges you can earn due to participating, along with you can take an article from Wikipedia or another wiki and put it on there (I’m in the midst of moving articles from the Vectrex wiki onto this one, matter of fact), just fix it up and take any formatting out that might not mix with this wiki.
The guy who made it is looking for these elements in articles:
*Brief summary of when the game was released (if possible), who created and published it
*First time the game name is mentioned in the article it needs to be in bold
*Categories, such as if it’s a shooter, platformer, etc., year of release as a category, along with platform (Atari 2600, arcade, etc.)
*Game controls
Might look like a lot at first glance, but if you go here, you’ll see where a lot of that can just take up only one or two brief sentences. If someone misses something, the guy who founded it (Alienation999) is good with adding whatever someone misses, plus he made me an admin too. Controls can also be skipped out on as well if you have a game that was released on multiple platforms, such as if anyone knows/can add anything about Flashback that I haven’t already outlined, it’d be great to have that added and the controls taken out that I put in on that page (as I only have personal knowledge in regards to the Genesis and CD versions of the game, although the publisher for the Genesis and Sega CD versions needs to be included too). Same goes for Thrust: take those controls out, as if people add info to any other versions then that page will get really large and bulky as hell. (Doom would be another example, but I haven’t finished with that page, even though I only have info on two versions of the game, but it’d be a gigantic nightmare to have an article being bulked up with controls for every single version available.)
Thanks for looking!
