Any Amiga game collectors on Facebook?
« on: June 05, 2008, 12:20:39 PM »
Hey,
I'm currently developing a pretty damn geeky Facebook application for the game collectors out there. It's nothing big, nothing fancy.

I was wondering if a couple of gamers (with a Facebook account) could help me out a bit. Trying it out, finding bugs, coming with ideas etc.

And before you start to whine about Facebook, spammy applications and millions of forced invites; this will be anything but spammy and annoying and won't spit out thousands of announcements every time you push a button.

The basic principle of this app is to show off your game collection (either on your profile page or just on the app canvas page) and perhaps rate games and such. I dunno. There are probably a thousand apps like it but the upside of doing it yourself is that you can get it 100% the way you want it.

You can add me if you like, I'll try out the application (I don't have many others on my page, I usually hate them, but this one seems alright).

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=514149585

Just send the request through once it's finished, I'd be happy to list all my Amiga games (well, as long as that includes CD32 games, which is what I have mostly).

A1200 030@28Mhz/2MB+32MB/RTC/KS3.1/IDE-CF+4GB/4-Way Clockport Expander/IndivisionAGA/PCMCIA NIC
A1200 020@14Mhz/2MB+8MB/FPU/RTC/KS3.0/IDE-CF+2GB/S-Video
CD32 020@14Mhz/2MB+8MB/RTC/KS3.1/IDE-CF+4GB
A600 030@30Mhz/2MB+64MB/RTC/IDE-CF+4GB/Subway USB/S-Video/PCMCIA NIC/USB Numeric Keypad+Hub+Mouse+Control Pad
A500 000@7Mhz/512kB+512kB/ROM Switcher/KS3.1+1.3/S-Video

i don't have facebook (i am Amiga only) although i guess it might work on my PS3 in that browser, will try it.

anyway i made a own website for my game collection, its far from complete and its a crapload to go through so it will take time.

i have about 2000 boxed amiga orginal games (1500 or so in the list).

pictures of my Amiga collection is still just temporary since i need to pull out all games and make sure theyre in the list and then do a proper picture etc (9 games at a time).

if u wanna see my collection then head over there:

PS: i am mostly focusing on PS3 theese days but i will update the Amiga list ASAP and the plan is to get all games in 1 picture (eventually) and a complete list ofcourse.
Whats up with all the hate!

Thanks for the interest guys. :)

The application isn't limited to Amiga so you can add games for all different systems if you like.

The database is very limited at the moment, I've just started adding some of the games from my own collection. All testers can add missing games directly.

At the moment the functions are really limited as well. You can add new games, add them to your collection and view your collection divided into the different systems (Amiga, Xbox, PS3 etc). You can also view your friends' collections.

Rating games, seeing top lists and ways to display the info about the collection you wish to display on your profile page is on its way.

Oh, and there's no eye-candy whatsoever yet.  :lol:
