MobyGames: News MobyGames: The world's largest and most comprehensive gaming database project 10 en-us Copyright 1999-2005 MobyGames http://www.mobygames.com/ User milestones - MAT, Karsa & friends! http://www.mobygames.com/news-item/nid,3586/ Sun, 30 Aug 2015 16:55:13 +0000 We're so happy to see MobyGames contributors blast through some new milestones, and time to honor them here. (Thx to Cavalary/Karsa for the tips!)<br><br>Firstly, <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,705/">MAT</a> gets an entire paragraph, because he just hit 100,000 MobyPoints - the 7th person in our history to do that! Congrats, &amp; infinithanks to him...<br><br>In addition, <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,179667/">Karsa Orlong</a> is now <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/stats/contributors">officially in the all-time Top 10</a> for contributions, <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,102061/">Picard</a> just hit 30,000 total points, and <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,247452/">Infernos</a> just topped 10,000 and is now #80 overall. Please keep the amazing work coming...<br><br>And one final note, as spotted by Kabushi - MobyGames now has over 3 million individual 'lines' of credits, all entered by our amazing contributors! Wow. http://www.mobygames.com/news-item/nid,3586/ MobyGames Twitter feed - cover ideas wanted! http://www.mobygames.com/news-item/nid,3585/ Sat, 1 Aug 2015 16:57:24 +0000 Now that our covers are unwatermarked, there's never been a better time to show off some of the amazing video game cover art scanned by MobyGames members. And that's just what is happening at <a href="https://twitter.com/mobygames">the MobyGames Twitter feed</a>, which is updated daily with new pics. It's actually doing pretty well, if you look at the number of retweets and favorites for each post.<br><br>When we started this, we asked MobyGames Approvers for some cover picks, and now we'd like your help! Please comment on this post and pick some of your favorite cover art on the site, and we'll gradually flow it onto Twitter (and Facebook/Google+, as time permits!) http://www.mobygames.com/news-item/nid,3585/ RIP: Nintendo's Satoru Iwata - 1959-2015. http://www.mobygames.com/news-item/nid,3584/ Mon, 13 Jul 2015 01:17:43 +0000 So sad to hear today that Nintendo President Satoru Iwata passed away - and at the relatively young age of 55, too. Many people online <a href="https://twitter.com/JohnAndersen21/status/620384547956506624">are linking</a> to the <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,52462/">MobyGames profile of Iwata</a>, which only exists because MobyGames contributors typed in the credits for literally hundreds of seminal Nintendo games. The site admins would like to honor Iwata-san for his vital contribution to the history of games, &amp; thank all of you for doing so much to preserve his history - even before his sad and unexpected passing. http://www.mobygames.com/news-item/nid,3584/ Sciere's 300k MobyPoints milestone!!! http://www.mobygames.com/news-item/nid,3583/ Fri, 10 Jul 2015 23:16:49 +0000 This is fairly unbelievable, but veteran MobyGames contributor <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,30979/">Sciere</a> has just hit 300,000 points on the site... wow! This includes 2585 games, 24,000 screenshots... I could go on - here's <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/view/contribution_rating/userSheetId,30979/">his stats</a>. <br><br>(Sciere also makes sure we're up to date on newer console and PC games, more than almost any other user - so MASSIVE thanks for him for this - otherwise we'd be a past-only website!)<br><br>Also, thanks to some forum notes, the other milestones must be pointed out: <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,168784/">piltdown_man</a> reached 90,000 points; <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,552/">Terok Nor</a> reached 20,000 points; <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,6290/">Indra</a> reached 20,000 points, &amp; <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/userSheetId,44898/">Freeman</a> reached 20,000 points.

Please check it out, follow us, and try to fave/RT us as much as possible so we can grow our social media following! http://www.mobygames.com/news-item/nid,3579/ Watermarks Begone http://www.mobygames.com/news-item/nid,3578/ Fri, 8 May 2015 18:06:40 +0000 After a long week of reprocessing work, the entirety of our 271,573 box covers and 680,458 screenshots are watermark free!<br><br><a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/sid-meiers-civilization/cover-art/gameCoverId,45565/"><img src="http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/45565-sid-meier-s-civilization-dos-front-covers.jpg" height="200"></a> <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/x-com-ufo-defense/cover-art/gameCoverId,166122/"><img src="http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/166122-x-com-ufo-defense-dos-front-covers.jpg" height="200"></a> <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/cover-art/gameCoverId,6460/"><img src="http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/6460-warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness-dos-front-covers.jpg" height="200"></a><br><br>Additionally, we now display them at a higher quality (less compression and larger). We hope these changes will make MobyGames just that much better of a resource for the gaming community at large. <br><br>Other sites, YouTubers, bloggers and so on should always feel free to make use of these assets. Though we would greatly appreciate attribution back to MobyGames, so we can ensure our contributor base remains healthy and can grow. Without them, the 95,000+ game entries with countless credits, trivia and other information would simply not exist. <br><br>Not only is every piece of information here submitted by gamers, but it also goes through an approval process to ensure it's as accurate as possible. This is a huge amount of work, and we always need more contributors and approvers to help maintain (and improve!) our mission of being the most complete and accurate database of game information possible. http://www.mobygames.com/news-item/nid,3578/ Moby Milestone: 50,000 Unique Games (April 2015) http://www.mobygames.com/news-item/nid,3577/ Sat, 18 Apr 2015 18:26:32 +0000 We now have 50,000 unique games <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games">documented in our database</a>! Every single game was hand entered by contributors and carefully verified by our approvers. <br><br><img src="http://www.mobygames.com/images/mobycover.jpg" width="80%"><br><br>A huge thanks to the thousands of MobyGames contributors over the past 15 years who've helped us reach this point! Including each platform release, we are currently at 94,818 total game listings for 165 platforms. You can see the <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/moby_stats">full breakdown by platform here</a>.<br><br>To help mark the occasion, we're announcing our plan to remove the MobyGames watermark from all covers and screenshots. This has been in the works for a while and we'll soon be re-processing all 675,000+ screenshots and 270,000+ covers. http://www.mobygames.com/news-item/nid,3577/ MobyGames updates - March 2015! http://www.mobygames.com/news-item/nid,3576/ Mon, 9 Mar 2015 03:08:32 +0000 Just a quick note on the front page to make sure everyone knows we've been updating MobyGames - our code as well as loads of new items - over the past few weeks!<br><br>In code and format additions, the <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/changelog/2015">Changelog</a> is up to date, and includes a number of new game systems - including Windows Apps - and some notable security updates, as well as lots of affiliate link fixes - massive thanks to Nelio!<br><br>Elsewhere on contributions, we're rapidly approaching 50,000 unique games - more on that when we get there - and wanted to give some shoutouts to MAT and piltdown_man, who got to 80.000 points this year. <br><br>Also some great new milestones in points were reached by Sciere, ryanbus84, Thomas Petterson and more - and thanks to new contributors Kennyannydenny and Jennifer McMurray!
