Hi G1's!
I have just started a new facebook page looking into oldschool games. The project is simple and easy for you all to get involved with. I want to know what games you remember as a kid. The ones that you have amazing memories of and the ones that shaped the gaming industry as we now know it.
SixSicSixClown: You could submit a review on the website that I have now completed instead. www.retrogamereviews.co.uk. The facebook page now has 175 likes after 2 weeks so if you ever do get a Facebook account come and join us.
LightningandIce: I like this, but I don't have a Facebook. I'm currently playing through Tomba! for the first time, and I was thinking about reviewing it anyway when I'm done, so if somebody else wants to do the uploading, then I would be happy to have it featured. If stuff works out, maybe I'll go back and replay some other old school games. It might be a while, because Tomba is a long game, but if you're still interested when I'm done, then I'd be happy to get involved.
SixSicSixClown: Interesting concept zgamer but there are some flaws I can think of. First of all the URLs would need to be search engine friendly to increase the likelyhood of being picked up on Google to generate more reviews. A series of numbers would make this difficult. Secondly the reach of reviewers would be limited to only G1s...
I am currently working on a website at the moment to run alongside the facebook page and even have some UK sponsors to hold weekly competitions for specific reviews. I have a NES retailer on board, a megadrive eBay guy (who has offered a megadrive for the first prize) and I even have a custom arcade builder who has shown interest for a big Christmas competition.
I love Screwattack and spend every dinner time at work watching hard news and scanning the G1 forums hence why this is the first place I have thrown out the idea.
I work as a web designer so the building of the website is the easy part getting people interested enough to like the page is so far a lot more difficult than I thought :-) 1 full week and I have 52 so its a good start I suppose.

zgamer007: I made comments about this same idea several times, some even to Craig as soon as the v.5 website rolled out. The idea was to have g1's contributing to write reviews that would be filed under an all-encompassing reviews section that wouldn't only contain new/current game reviews. It would give us the freedom of adding new console sections, where each console would be allocated a unique number in the URL of that console's review section that would be part of all the games reviewed under it. The numbers for the console (that would appear for the URL) would be in sequential order so that as many consoles could be added over time as necessary. The order would be as they are added to the reviews section, not the order in which the consoles were released. So for example all NES game reviews could have the following URL common to them:
http://www.screwattack.com/reviews/10
The 10 at the end would specify that the NES is the 10th console to be entered in the reviews section. Then all the games under it would have a URL of:
http://www.screwattack.com/reviews/10/1
http://www.screwattack.com/reviews/10/2
http://www.screwattack.com/reviews/10/3
and so on. This doesn't have to be the exact way it could be done, but it's the easiest way I could think of to simplify explaining it. I'm sure something could be done to allow multiple reviews for each game too, like having another number in the URL designated as the review number, and the review numbers would be in sequential order as they are submitted. For example, this is how 2 reviews for Super Mario Bros for NES could have
http://www.screwattack.com/reviews/10/1/1
http://www.screwattack.com/reviews/10/1/2
The 10 in both URLs designates the NES as being the 10th console to have been entered in the reviews section. The 1 following the 10 in both URLs designates that Super Mario Bros would be the first NES game to be reviewed. And the 1 & 2 that are respective to each of those URLs would designate them as being the 1st & 2nd reviews of Super Mario Bros for the NES in that respective order.
I gave out this idea back in the September when v.5 was rolled out (I think it was September 2011) because when they took out the video uploading feature that v.4 had, I felt as if there was hardly anything I could contribute to the site as a g1 anymore since videos were the majority of what I contributed in v.4. So I spread this idea in various areas but never heard a response from anyone from the site.
Another cool idea I've had is tracking the reviews to the reviewer and having the reviewer giving a bio of themselves so that they can explain the type of games they typically like so if there are multiple reviews, the reader can check out the one that was done by a person whose games preferences most closely resembles the reader's preferences. This would avoid reading high reviews of games reviewed by someone who likes the opposite types of games that the reader likes, which could prevent them from playing a game they would like or cause them to play a game they wouldn't like.
Sorry for the long comment, but this is a subject that I care about & one that bothers me that nobody was interested when I thought of & passed around what I think were great ideas about it.
