Games to be added to the database...

The standards regarding game listings have changed, but you should still use this form to request any new listings. You can use this thread to request additions to the HonestGamers database. Provide the following info:

- Game Title
- System(s) under which the listing should be added
- Link to listing or coverage of game on another site (for verification)

Don't bother providing any other information. I'll research and add additional information myself, as appropriate. Once a decision and/or listing has been made, I will generally modify your original post so that you know to look for it.

When requesting listings, please keep the following in mind:

* The database already contains thousands upon thousands of game listings. The best way to see if a listing already exists is to start by clicking the system, then browse alphabetically. The search box often works, but games with very short words in their title will in some cases not show.

* Mods and expansion packs will only rarely be added, and only if you will be immediately contributing a high-quality review. Otherwise, you may be better off covering them on your blog. We also don't maintain separate listings for Virtual Console and Nintendo Switch Online titles, or similar.

* HonestGamers does not cover games released exclusively in regions other than North America, Europe, and Japan.

HonestGamers listings are added routinely, even without requests using this thread, but for the most part I am working on older system libraries first and moving forward toward the present. Thanks for your assistance as I work to ensure that the site includes listings for the games that fall within our intended areas of coverage. We don't have the resources to cover everything, but I hope to be thorough when it comes to those systems that we do cover.

Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world

One question I'd like to ask: If there's any information that's not present in a game's profile, how would I go about submitting such data?

Added

As to your note, we go through the database on occasion to fill in missing back data (of which there is still a lot), so it's probably just best to wait for that to happen over time. Individually going through and adding game details here and there isn't time-effective. We're happy to add games as needed if you plan to review one or contribute a FAQ, or even if you just own the game and want to add it to your collection. Otherwise, we just wait for weekends where I feel especially industrious and add/modify a few hundred games at a time.

Apologies to those of you who have been waiting a while for their games to be input. I would have done them earlier, but I mistakingly assumed that this site had staff members besides me. Clearly, I was mistaken.
For us. For them. For you.

hey guys, I think it's sexy you have the ZX Spectrum listed, and I'm going to be concentrating on the Spectrum for a short while. But I need this added:

Game: Adventure A: Planet of Death
Platform(s): Sinclair ZX Spectrum
Publisher: Artic Computing Ltd
Developer: Artic Computing Ltd
Genre: Text Adventure
Release Date: 1982

http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0005913

The only thing I'm not sure on is developer. Many of these games were developed by a single person... if it;s more appropriate to find that name I could see if it;s available.

Thanks guys. Believe in the true power of friendship and all that.

Growl

It has been added. At first, I thought the hyper-linked text meant some other staff member had already done the addition, so that kind of threw me for a loop there for a minute or two. All's well that ends well, though!

Just a minor note, if you don't mention anything about the game's region, I'm going to assume it's NA, so be sure to specify if needed.
You exist because we allow it. And you will end because we demand it.

Japan-only release, in case the whole name being in Japanese and it having a CERO rating didn't tip you off.
