just a thought. there seems to be a 'lets jump straight in' sorta attitutde with the main page, there is/are no clicky links to info pages for each of these games which would help some new ppl who are looking for info, find that we don't have nOOb info, so they they just wonder off. If we are gonna keep these game recycled thru the ages... then we'd better have some sort of noob info happening, as:

  • Different Versions
  • Hardware Specs
  • How to get working in Windoze
  • What this game is about
  • Screenshots (which show the game well, not just "sick-ass" screenies)
  • WHat ppl liked about the game
  • Who made this game (like a bit of back ground info)

I noticed that there is no "info" heading at the start of game sections....

There's no stopping anyone from starting such pages. In fact, there's so much more that can be entered - it's not funny! I'd like to see Starter guides myself - for veterans who've been on a hiatus and for absolute beginners alike.

As it is, the articles are only created and maintained at the fancy and whim of the authors that contribute to them. Or the excuse I like to use - we just haven't gotten round to it yet. Heh.

The front page needs a major overhaul - but before that happens: what's missing? Or rather, what else do we need that's left off?

P. S: Editing tip for authors with accounts that like to sign some of their posts - like myself: to automatically create a link to your profile page and leave behind your name handle as the link, enter three tildes ( ~~~ ). You'll see how it works by using a preview. When you finally save your edit to any page, the tildes are automatically converted into a proper link format.

P. P. S: General tip: When leaving comments on discussion pages, like this one - don't use the edit link as you would for normal article editing. Instead use the + button. It separates the posts so you don't have entire discussions mixing into each other.
