Database with Marks/Ratings - the Greatest Quest...

[Alex_Lux]

...in the World of Speccy Games :-)

Dear Specchums, dear friends,

I have to announce a website dedicated to my project - "Database with
Marks for Games on ZX Spectrum"! You'll find it on:

[url]http://marks4speccy.elpaso-software.com/[/url]

Features in Database:
- games can be searched/filtered by their: genre, subgenre, tech.
description, year of release, publisher,...
- rating 'resolution' of 0.5%
- Mark of an game consists of 100 points for its "Technical aspect",
plus 100 points for its "Entertainment aspect"
- 'Technical' parameters - Graphics & Sound & Programming Quality aka
"GSPQ" (30 pts max), Scenario & Idea Realisation aka "ScIR" (30 max),
General Impression "GI" (20 max), Originability (6 max), Likeability-
Idea (8 max), and Controlability (6 points max)
- 'Entertainment' (Playability) aspect - Addictivity (& Challenge) (25
points max), Excitement/ Engagement/ Speed Factor aka "EES" (25 max),
Lasting Attraction aka "LA" (15 max), Ease of Start "EaSt" (10 max),
and Atmosphere & Playability "AP" (25 max)
- so far, more then 1400 entries
- queries, reports, and many more...

All needed explanations, examples, screenshots, etc. you'll find on
website.

I would highly appreciate all your comments, ideas, criticism,
support,... and help in making database more 'visitor-friendly' i.e.
web-interactive :-)

SINCLAIR-ly Yours,
Aleksandar

not earlier then today, it became clear to me why I started all
this... Today, I found on net, the article that was 'the initial cap'
It is:

the whole issue is on: http://retrospec.sgn.net/users/tomca...p?all=RA_84_12
In number 4, there was similar "Top List" for Commodore.

In future, web presentation of mine database (DB) requires a
'qualitative jump', i.e. now only visitors with MS Access installed
can 'play with data' (use all potential of DB). Because of the many
things that run 'in parallel' in my 'real life' it's impossible for me
to find time [1] and learn PHP (or whatever) 'in depth', to make this
DB truly web-interactive and non-dependent on 'Access'.

If any of Specchums here can help... it be great !

month at least...
