MobyGames Database Hits 10,000 Entries

flipkin writes "MobyGames, an IMDb-inspired database of video games, has now surpassed the significant milestone of 10,000 game entries. The stated goal of the site has been to meticulously document and catalog every single game ever made, and while they still have a long way to go, 10k is an impressive start." Apart from this site and the excellent Gamefaqs, what other online game databases do you find handy?

Abandonware

[forged]

I find the Underdogs website to be a fine place to look for old computer games, a/k/a abandonware. As I am writing this they are listing 4439 games online. One of my all-time favorite must be Tera (1986), a relatively unknown and wildely unsuccessful RPG produced 17 years ago when PC's were original 8086's and had CGA monitors. I still play it occasionnally and even began a fansite dedicated to this fine(?) piece of sofwtare.

To get back on-topic I also consult Megagames regularly for all my patches needs and related add-on software.

Don't want to rain on their parade,

but the World of Spectrum has 10,677 titles just for one computer - the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

The Killer List Of Videogame is a nice one for arcade games.

MODdb a site with all the mods for various games.

Other gaming sites I have not yet seen mentioned

Here are my most frequented gaming sites:

For game reviews, gamefaqs. The FAQs are great, but it is also a great place for reading user reviews. If I need more reviews, I head to Amazon.

For screenshots/video, I refer to the "biggies": gamespot and ign.

For Game Boy Advance, I go to: gbacentral.

For Dance Dance Revolution: DDRFreak

However, my favorite site at the moment is for the ol' Atari 2600: Atari Age

AtariAge is amazing: screenshots of almost every Atari 2600 game, very active forums, store that sells cartridges for new "homebrews", etc.
