This site needs box scans. I know [shadow=red,left,300]vgrebirth.com [/shadow]has some, but I am talking about real scans. Full size and delicious. 72 dpi to look at on the site, and 300 dpi to print, should anyone want to print a box cover. That way if sega16bit has cover scans of games (other than SMS games), this site will match with it's own scans for the SMS.
YES!

Well, it should be. I don't like the layout or functiuon of their scan pages. You click on one game in the list and a bunch of scans come up. This site could do it better

I wouldn't want to compete, since they've done such a fine job I think our database is complimentary, since we are offering release information, notes on releases, codes, screenshots and so forth. Still have a lot to work out, but there's no need to make scans of that stuff. Manuals, yes.

Yeah I don't see the point of another scan site, the SMSpower one is so near completion. The only thing I could think to improve it is some sort of description for variation lovers like Rupert.

This site could do it better eday you are approaching that all wrong... that link goes to just the newly added stuff, just as abit of 'news' or whatever, really you should just go off the alphabet at the top. every new game i get i have a quick look to see if they have it and if not scan it and send it in. i wish everyone took abit of time (and it is only a bit) to do this, then there would be an amzing resource of every tiny variation, at the moment theres still alot missing.

I've been adding them, but I can't remember where I stopped last time. I need to go through the database and add some more. Like I said, a list would be nice...

Yeah, We've had this discussion before. There is no point in duplicating the good work thats been done at smspower. Instead of starting all over again contribute to that instead.

Oh the other hand, manual scans are appreciated. Anything that aids in the playing of games is our bag.

Well pardon me for trying to class up this place and make this the super power of Sega geek sites. The goal should be to destroy all other sites - Sega ones at first, and then all the rest-- until this is the only site on the whole Interweb!

Doesn't sound like you care to much about keeping a community together...

Sure I do. That's why I want this site to be the only web page anywhereon the web. All that space and bandwidth just for this site. Very awesome. I wouldn't call it a community as much as a bunch of nerds talking about Sega . Needless to say, this is really the only Sega-specific site I frequent. I don't care much for the other sites (layout, setup, etc), and most of their boards are not very busy. I'd rather have a 1-Stop-Shop type site rather than have to go to 18 different ones for everything.
