Genres

For the genre field I propose using the terms CGW used to use in the 90s.. if I remember correctly this was: Action, Adventure, RPG, Simulation, Puzzle, Sports, and Wargame. Although a majority of these will probably be Action/Arcade. -- œ ^™ 01:19, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds reasonable. Are there any missing from the list? 2fort5r (talk) 18:36, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks pretty complete but I'm sure there must be.. I bet there's a few rare obscure games that although were sold commercially were not publicized or distributed widely enough to garner attention. I'm in the process of tracking these down but as far as checking it against my database, like I mentioned earlier it's backed up on one of my HD's I'd have to go digging for it as soon as I have time, but I promise I will. -- œ ^™ 04:01, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have filled in all the information of the games, even the genres. Feel free to correct any information as you see fit. Deltasim (talk) 10:15, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category?

Wouldn't it be better if this was a category? 84.122.49.247 (talk) 12:52, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes this could be a category too. Category:PC booters as a subcategory of Category:DOS games perhaps? -- œ ^™ 09:58, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A very late follow-up, but in case anyone is thinking about creating such a category: the PC booters article makes it clear that it is not specific to IBM PC compatibles, so the category shouldn't be a subcategory of Category:DOS games.
