  MobyGames - A Game Documentation and Review Project
The company we host our computers with has been having problems today which in turn is causing outages for MobyGames.
This isn't the first time it's happened and I can't be optimistic that it will be the last.
If you want to know what it's like to administrate MobyGames on a great day of submissions, try listening to remixes of Good Life (Inner City), Halloween (Ministry), French Kiss (Lil' Louis), or anything by Black Box the next time you work at your computer.

  MobyGames - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MobyGames subscribes to the concept that the average of multiple user ratings is more accurate than a few ratings from a professional journalists.
MobyGames was founded on March 1, 1999 by Jim Leonard, Brian Hirt, and David Berk (joined 18 months after project started, but still credited as a founder), three friends since high school.
MobyGames began with just entries for DOS and Windows games, since those were the only systems the founders were familiar with.

 Web : Moby Games :. GarageGames
MobyGames is the working name of an extremely ambitious project: To meticulously catalog all relevant information about electronic games (computer, console, and arcade) on a game-by-game basis, and then offer up that information through flexible queries and "data mining".
If a game is rated high or low in MobyGames, it is because the voting public put it there.
MobyGames is the world's largest and most flexible electronic game documentation project in existence.

Ratings: MobyGames wouldn't be too useful if it didn't have ratings so you could separate the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Please keep in mind that although MobyGames will be able to hold all non-PC information, there is no way that we could populate it since we don't own the hardware and software to do so.
MobyGames has a very focused direction--to record computer game information for posterity, historical research, and user-contributed ratings.

 MobyGames - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
In layman's terms, it's a huge game database." At the time of this writing (May 2005), that catalog includes more than 50 separate gaming platforms (consoles, computers and handheld devices) and more than 20,000 unique games.
This is not entirely dissimilar from how IMDB tracks credits for various movie actors and crew.

From the-underdogs.org, who quote Mobygames.com (whew): Zap'em is a very lackluster "old skool" shooter from IBM coded in BASIC - one of their most disappointing releases.
The description from MobyGames goes as follows: "Zap'em is an action game for one player.
You control a spaceship on the left side of the screen which is capable of moving up or down and firing lasers.

Software collectors have made many attempts over the years to derive a standard of 'condition' for their titles.
As of this writing, a new (and hopefully finalized) standard for software condition is currently being developed by MobyGames called the MOBY SCALE, which will hopefully be followed by the entire software collector's world.

 Mobygames....
Would there be a possibility to somehow use the information from mobygames or to somehow integrate the information?
I suppose the simplest method would be to offer a method for when clicking on a game on NT Compatible that it would link to the game at mobygames.com.
That would be pretty neat, but even better would be to have a full database of all working/non working games from NT Compatible along with all of the information at Mobygames for PC Games on one whole list.

This online encyclopedia of games isn't as comprehensive as MobyGames; in fact, its collection of game data so far is tiny compared to what MobyGames has managed to put together, but to be fair, MobyGames has been around a lot longer.

It was more than a simple DAC, however; a DSP contained within the box could be programmed to emulate mono, stereo, or quad stereo output, up to 48KHz."
Perhaps I should prioritize that list by the number of games supported as listed by MobyGames.
The question is, say, once OPL3 is emulated - that will give SB16 and Adlib Gold support, if you can emulate the rest of the card.
