+KaeruYojimbo Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I've started working on a new Atari homebrew site located here: http://atarihomebrew.statotronic.com/index.php It's still in the early stages, so a lot of it isn't actually there, but the search works and you can look at the individual game pages. To-do List: Multiple screenshots for each game Cartridge/box/manual scans Search by delveoper/programmer Run size (aka number of copies) ROM links More games Take a look, let me know what you think and feel free to suggest any changes or additions you might like to see. 16 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomberman94 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Maybe you can add - if game is limited - how many has been released and when. I like the 70\80‘s style of this site ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+eebuckeye Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Great idea.. I think adding a few as an example would greatly help with feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely on the list of things to add. 3 hours ago, eebuckeye said: Great idea.. I think adding a few as an example would greatly help with feedback. Not sure what you mean. You can search the games that are on the site now and view the pages for individual games to see what sort of info is there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I exchanged a few PMs with @Arenafoot since his list is one of the sources I'm using and that's one of the things he suggested but I forgot to include in the to-do list. I went ahead and updated the list in the first post. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KaeruYojimbo Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 Here are a couple of examples of what I could call completed pages at this point: Aardvark Draconian I also added a section for hardware. Keep in mind that at this point, "added a section for hardware" means put a link to a page that doesn't exist in the nav bar. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Nice Aardvark page, thanks. Looks fine to me, maybe add a few more screenshots. One suggestion: I would be nice if one could navigate directly from picture to picture. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Sorry. Was having dumb formatting issues. Mostly self inflicted! Apparently, if you switch to the dark theme everyone else on AtariAge doesn't also change their theme to dark. So, setting all your text to white isn't the best solution.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) 57 minutes ago, KaeruYojimbo said: I've started adding multiple screenshots for games. Cool. Navigation and presentation there are still a bit inconsistent, IMO: You can navigate from picture to picture in screenshots and manual, but not in cartridge and box Screenshots are displayed large, one by one and with navigation arrows directly on the page For manual and box the page switches into a different mode (from which you cannot return) For manual a new window/tab is opened where you can navigate the scans I would suggest making this more consistent. I understand that screenshots have a different resolution than scans, so that there must be some differences. But the other two should be consistent. I would prefer not to open new tab, but be able to return from where I came. For the screenshots it would be nice to have the other screenshots displayed as thumbnails left and right of the current one.

Some of your suggestions are things that are already in my mind to do, I just haven't gotten to them yet.

Radio F Software Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I like this website! It's very comprehensive, you put in a lot of work digging for games for the database. I know this to be true because a crappy hack I made in 2004 is listed on this website! 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
