Re: Arcade-conversions category
Go to licence / Inspiration on the advanced search and you will see things like Donkey Kong, Scramble, Pac-Man, Defender, Space Invaders etc. You can't multi select but makes picking arcade clones easy. Obviously put any additions in the little bugs thread (Remembering to include a link to the entry).

Make a list with the game IDs (This is important. Just the title isn't enough) and the suggested arcade category and send to [mention]Einar Saukas[/mention] for suggested inclusion into ZXDB.

Re: Arcade-conversions category
What about this:
The SC homepage could have a link called ARCADES, together with MAGS, TOOLS and MUSIC. Clicking on it will provide a list of all arcade categories. Afterwards clicking on an arcade category will list all games from this category.

Sounds like a plan [mention]Einar Saukas[/mention]. Could we finalise the placing on the homepage menu structure when the data is ready?
Re: Arcade-conversions category
As mentioned above [mention]Rev_Stuart_Campbell[/mention], do a list with the games (with the IDs in a separate column) you want in the proposed new category.

No, I don't mean the genre of arcade games.Rev_Stuart_Campbell wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 7:59 pm A fine idea in itself, but not really what I'm talking about. Most of the existing "arcade" categories just mean "general action game", not "coin-op conversion".
I mean games actually based on arcade coin-ops.
Take a look:
