It's great to have a collection of DRM-free games, but your "database" still requires you to log in (=DRM).
So a while ago I decided to make my own, using Collectorz Game Collector.
I've put a lot of time and effort into it and now I'd like to share it with you...
So why would anyone want a database of MY Game collection?
- You already have a collectorz database and want to merge/replace it with the games we have in common.
- Use it as a starting point to make your own.
What does it contain?
- Format: Game Collector v16(.3.1)
- Almost 400 GOG games (+All my boxed games and a few Steam games - you can delete anything you don't have yourself)
- Basic information, like Title, Series, sorting title, year, developer, etc.
- The description from each GOG page, or from Moby if the game is part of a pack.
- Big cover, cut out from gogcovers.com or mobygames.com/
- Links to the GOG page and Mobygames
- Link to the installer - can be mass updated in the program
- Link to the best youtube trailer/intro I could find
- Link to a youtube review - IGN/Gamespot/Gametrailers - if it exists (so mostly/only for relatively newer games)
Anyone interested? And where should I upload it (it's about 400 Mb - because of the cover files) I'm thinking Google Drive...
Note:
- It isn't 100% ready yet - some moby links, installer links, and trailers are still missing. But I'll update it when it is.
- All links to covers can be mass updated to wherever you'd like to store them.
I've also downloaded all the youtube trailers and reviews to mp4 files. Let me know if you want a guide on how to do that (All of them at once).
