|  A new feature: Series
I've been thinking about this for a while. Why don't we add a new feature to the site, which would deal with program "series". It would basically link a few (or many) programs together, so 1) it would be clear that they belong together (have some kind of relationship) and 2) it would be easy to navigate between them. For example: the magazines, or the Mysterious Adventure series, or Zork I-III, Digital Delight series, and I could go on an on. Additionally, there would be a "series details" page, which would list each member of the series, with some additional blub on the top and/or bottom of the page.
So how does that sound?
And oh yeah, what's everybody up to? It's been so quiet around here for a while...

< Grinning happily > I think this is just an excuse for Csabo to add more fields to the databases. He likes to do things like that! 
But I do think this is a good idea. Other "series" are the Scott Adams Graphic Adventures complete with Questprobe, and the Infocom games.
This idea has been partially implemented with groupings of demos and newsletters, like the Lone News diskmags.

Do you mean something like I've seen over on the GAME - UK site?
Just as a demo.. Link: Call of Duty.
Call of Duty could be say Legionnaire and at the bottom of the page related items would be Gunlaw , Commando , Who Dares Wins II ect.... and each respective related item would also have each others on their page..

Forgot to say. Not so much GAME RECOMMENDS, more "If you like these than check these out.." or something along those lines.

On second thoughts, "Plus/4 World also RECOMMENDS" sounds good.

Something similar what they have on Gamebase would be cool,
Check this for example.
They have 3 type of links, forward and bacwkard links to navigate beetween the members or the series and upward links which go to related games who are not strictly part of the series.

Love the idea they have of using the old CBM monitor for the screen grabs!

Yes, GB64 is very stylish, they really got the feel right. And those links are exactly what I'm talking about, it's good that everyone is in agreement that this is a good idea.
When I will do this, it's not only new fields, but actually also a new table < grins manically >
