mrkgnao: ANNOUNCEMENT:
Version 6.4.0 has been released with the following features:

* Began collecting information from a new source, GOG mixes, into a category I have dubbed "Gogmixopedia"
* The first GOG mix to be added is Grargar's "List of GOG games using DOSBox" [suggested by pablodusk]
*** Note: If you know of other GOG mixes containing useful information, please let me know.

Treasure: By the term "useful" do you mean strictly gogmixes with useful information, or others with less-useful-but-good-to-know info could be included too?
In the first case, I recommend gamefood's "There is even a demo!" gogmix, which is a comprehensive list of games on gog that have demos available so that people can try before they buy. And there's also Gog games without manuals-where to find them, but it might not be as useful, as it mostly links to walkthroughs instead...
In the second case, you might also like my own *shameless product placement, I know* Games that feature Greece/are inspired by Greece and Games involving a computer interface.
Surely there are many other useful gogmixes, but these are what I recalled from the top of my head-if I recall more I'll let you know...

P.S. Before I forget-the initiative to include Gogmixes in Magog is a really great one! Also, it reminds me why, while I was aware of the biblical connotations (but I didn't care, as I vastly prefer the New Testament over the old), I didn't mind Magog being called like that - it isn't as much Magog as in the biblical thingy for me, but "Ma Gog" -"my gog" in french (I'm versed in french, so I know that this would make gog a female, but this is a poetic license so it's all right)-as in "Gog, customized to my-and everybody else's- own needs"! So, in that sense, Magog is a very fitting name for this very customizable search engine...
Thank you. I'll look into them all.
And I really like your French etymology.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Version 6.4.1 has been released with the following features:

* Added Grargar's "GOG Games With Serial Numbers" GOG mix to the Gogmixopedia display and filter
*** Note: This GOG mix in many ways supersedes MaGog's own serial key tracking, which is limited only to the games I own.
*** Note: The only feature that is covered by MaGog's tracking and not by this GOG mix is gift codes masquerading as serial keys.

So, just wondering, do you have any plans to make MaGog open source? That way we could jump in and help you out, make our tweaks if we want, etc. :)

I wasn't aware anyone was interested.

I have no objections to releasing my code, but I don't see myself allowing others direct access to my web server to change MaGog's code by themselves. Any changes will have to be ultimately incorporated by me.

On the other hand, I have no objection whatsoever to other people taking the code and doing with it whatever they want on their own machines.

Let me know if you're interested. If you are, it will take me a few days to prepare a zip file with the code files, since I will need to mask out quite a bit of private information that is present in them.

That rules out Github?

Pretty much.

It is a very specific project and you strike once again by sharing it freely.

That's a shame, GitHub's pull request feature would make incorporating other people's code very easy. I sure didn't mean that anyone should get access to your server at all :)

I would be interested in the long run, but I don't want to waste a few days from your life as I don't think I'd be able to contribute anything at the moment (got my hands pretty full these days). I just wanted to throw the idea out in the open and I'm glad you're not against it!

Sure. Let me know when.

Thank you, this is great! Here are a couple searches others may find interesting:

[url=http://www.an-ovel.com/cgi-bin/magog.cgi?scp=gdspur&dsp=ipgfsorlcbP&ord=&flt=olx~0~Pgd~1~&opt=s]DOSBox games without Linux installers[/url] (currently 127 games)
[url=http://www.an-ovel.com/cgi-bin/magog.cgi?scp=gdspur&dsp=ipgfsorlcbP&ord=&flt=omc~0~Pgd~1~&opt=s]DOSBox games without Mac OS X installers[/url] (currently 69 games)

Note that those are store items that include at least one DOSBox game in the package (but may also include non-DOSBox games).

Since you are collecting the descriptions from the GOGmix, would it be possible to make that text searchable? For example, in the case of the DOSBox mix, you could search for a particular DOSBox version mentioned.

I'm doing an unscheduled MaGog update run to incorporate the sale details, which were just missed by the regular update run. Expect it to be up to date in about 45 minutes.
