Board games/Computer Games14 messages

We want to expand the Computer Games section considerably in the coming months and are looking for someone who can provide us with an extensive list of the most popular games - preferably with the accompanying scans. Would you like to help build the largest online collectors catalog ever and do you know a little about computer games, then sign up with me!

Is het niet handiger om eerst een rubriek voor computer spellen op te zetten, voor jullie heel veel spellen gaan plaatsen/vragen ?
Als de computer spellen die nu bij de spellen staan, gebruikt worden om deze rubriek op te zetten, kan er een discussie ontstaan over welke velden handig zijn in een computer spellen rubriek.
Zelf zou ik het bijvoorbeeld handig vinden als ik ook mijn hardware kwijt kan.
Het punt is ook een beetje dat je computer games al heel goed kunt opslaan op talloze game sites.
Deze sites hebben vaak al een zeer uitgebreide, goed georganiseerde database en bovendien zeer actieve forums met fanatieke gamers.
Ook kun je daar meerdere screen shots kwijt, bij catawiki ben je gebonden aan 3 afbeeldingen.
Catawiki moet dus echt met iets goeds komen, wil je mensen met een grote game verzameling, overhalen hun verzameling hier op te slaan, in plaats van elders.
Zoals het nu is, zie ik voor mijzelf in ieder geval weinig reden om mijn verzameling games op catawiki te plaatsen.
Ik vind de spellen rubriek op catawiki geweldig.
Wilma heeft het heel mooi opgezet allemaal, een van de mooiste rubrieken op catawiki.
Het is alleen niet geschikt voor computer spellen, die hebben gewoon andere velden nodig.

Wouldn't it be more convenient to set up a section for computer games first, before posting/asking a lot of games?
If the computer games that are now included with the games are used to set up this section, a discussion may arise about which fields are useful in a computer games section.
For example, I would find it useful if I could also store my hardware.
The point is also a bit that you can save computer games very well on countless game sites.
These sites often already have a very extensive, well-organized database and, moreover, very active forums with avid gamers.
You can also store multiple screen shots there, with Catawiki you are bound to 3 images.
So Catawiki really needs to come up with something good if you want to persuade people with a large game collection to store their collection here, instead of elsewhere.
As it is, I don't see much reason for myself to put my collection of games on Catawiki.
I love the games section on Catawiki.
Wilma has set it all up very nicely, one of the most beautiful sections on Catawiki.
It's just not suitable for computer games, they just need different fields.

Hi Arwin
The games section is indeed very good, nice to see also for "laymen" just the different Monopoly games!
The computer games will soon be in a separate section. You see for yourself - all fields are not good at the moment and can therefore be better adapted to the article.
Given the plans we have, an extra dimension will certainly be added to distinguish Catawiki from other sites. . You should especially think of buying and selling on a very clear platform. I don't think it is the intention to rival the specialized sites in terms of content - I fully agree that there are sites that are much further along.

What I was actually trying to say cautiously is that the chances of a game collector offering you a list of games and scans are not very high.
First, because he already has his collection online and probably doesn't have a list in his. has its own computer, and secondly because the specialized sites offer things that Catawiki cannot offer due to its structure.
That's why I said you should use the computer games that come with the games as a base instead of waiting for a big list of games.
It is sensible that you see it more as a shopping platform.
To your question elsewhere in the forum about which fields.
The basic things are:
Platform (must be completed with the possibility for extra platform)
Name of the game or hardware (must be entered)
Game type (perhaps best written in Dutch for the layman, such as fighting game, strategy, story, etc. No abbreviations as rts or rpg)
System requirements (for pc games)
Age limit (for example game for 18 year olds)
Then you can also think of:
Publisher
Developer (if you like a game can you see what else this developer has made)
There are more things to think of (director, producer, for example), but that makes little sense for Catawiki.
The simpler you keep it, the sooner a game is posted.

Hi Arwin
Great suggestion - isn't it also true that there are region codes on the games?
I can imagine that there is a trade in "finished" games, are there any good platforms where these are traded?

Oh yes, that is indeed very important info.
Completely forgotten.
Europe, America, Japan and region-free must of course also be mentioned.
I buy my games mainly via e-bay
Only if I want a game and don't feel like waiting, I buy it in the store
You also have to be able to specify games that you have downloaded for for example the Wii, xbox360 or ps3
While that is not something you can hold in your hands and trade, but they are just part of your game collection.

Don't forget the number of players. Whether it is online, offline or both. A regular, limited or special edition. What language manual and game is, in addition, possibly viewer things Just a few more fun and useful options to consider.

Great suggestions and additions. But if e-bay is currently THE site for game purchases, it should be better. At Catawiki we work from a structured database with great transparency. An extra dimension will be added in the foreseeable future.
I can assure you that we will make something beautiful out of it!

That should indeed be included, André.
I just think that whether it is a limited or special edition, is generally clear from the name.
Additional information about what is special about it, you can add to details.
Erik, what do you mean by an extra dimension?
Are you talking about adding a wikipedia page for a game, or is it about other things?
I do not know if e-bay is the site, it is more that I buy my most games there myself.
Marktplaats I hate it, because not everyone is equally reliable.
At e-bay builds a seller a score of feedback on.
Actually, Catawiki should have something like that, if it really wants to be better than e-bay.

Extra dimension? Like trailers? ;)
That would be cool. E-bay is A site, I get them from a shop where I occasionally get an expense due to a points system, then I get a game of 50 euros for 5 euros. : P
Anyway, through the marketplace often only books, comics, clothing and household goods go very well. Games through other sites.

Hi Arwin
I mean the Catawiki functionality.
I think or perhaps know that there is a lot of hard work behind the scenes on something really nice.

Yes Erik, now of course you make me completely curious.
You are not allowed to say anything else about it?

The computer games are suddenly catching up thanks to a few fanatical installers. Looks very nice too. I think it would be useful if there were a separate section for it.
Rene? Marco?

I will keep entering for now as I have done recently.
As soon as there is a computer games section, everything will be transferred, I assume?
