General Atarian Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 I have been a long time fan of the AtariAge ratings...I noticed some of your ratings were higher than atariage's, example, I have shootin' gallery Atariage rates it 5 you rate it a 7....Who is right?

as_the_gavel_falls Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 Ratings come from different sources, so everyones is bound to be off a bit. 5 vs a 7 is still pretty fine grained. Shootin Gallery is pretty fun so people tend to hang on to it and so its value and rarity will fluctuate more and that will affect my rarity scores.

video game addict Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Just thought I'd add, Digital Press rates shootin' gallery as a 4, Hey didn't AtariGuide.com go up for sale a while back on ebay? Were you the seller? buyer? Are you the same as_the_gavel_falls who's on ebay? I didn't remember seeing your name on either, buyer or seller, thats why I ask.

as_the_gavel_falls Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 I was the buyer in that auction. Didn't you bid against me? I'm the same as_the_gavel_falls on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 I couldn't remember who bought it, I just remember it being sold. So are you Tim the Oil man, or is that the original owner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as_the_gavel_falls Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 Nope, I'm Jason. Tim sold me the site and was very helpful in getting me started with the software he developed for creating the pages. I could never have gotten something like this off the ground, but I'm good at picking up where others left off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Just out of curiosity, did you compile your label variations list by yourself? I'm curious if I'm missing any on mine: http://www.msu.edu/user/reicher6/labelvar/...r/labelvar7.txt I didn't start that one, but I took it over after John Earney got out of the collecting biz.

Philflound Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Tempest, on the credits on the bottom. I am the Phil listed as l.m.f@ix.netcom.com. Though that account has long been terminated. If you'd like to update me, Phil Dispenza - pdispenza@hotmail.com Thanks. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as_the_gavel_falls Posted August 20, 2002 Author Share Posted August 20, 2002 I'll have to write something to compare the lists... is this the only format you have this or is it in a database of some sort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Sorry, this is the only form I have it in. John always had it in a text file and I never transferred it to anything else. BTW if someone would like to take over the list let me know. With all the work on my proto page I rarely have time to update it any more.

rivalhunter Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 I can compile the lists into a database for you. I may not be Atari savvy, but I can do some databasing. After looking at the two lists, this is the information that I see: Title Manufacture Serial No. Release Date Text Only (select yes if there is no artwork) Picture (yes or no) Screenshot (yes or no if picture is yes) Artwork (yes or no if picture is yes) Colors (distinguishing colors) Notes If these categories seems okay, I’ll be glad to compile the two lists it into an Access database if this might be of some use to you. Bored, rivalhunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data base could contain more info then what was generated, and If I'm going to write something to translate from one to another it's best to do it from the lower level in case something in the page presentation changes...

CPUWIZ Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Very odd, you say you sell games but none of them have a shopping cart next to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as_the_gavel_falls Posted August 20, 2002 Author Share Posted August 20, 2002 Hi, I'm not sure what you mean. If you go to http://www.atariguide.com/menu/Alphaframe.htm or http://www.atariguide.com/menu/Manframe.htm And then click on a letter or a manufacturer, each game that is available should have a shopping cart next to the name. When you click on the actual title, it should take you to a page where it says "Buy it now" with a price, etc. Please let me know if you are still have problems... let me know the title of the game you are trying to buy, and what browser and operating system you are using, and the URL where you are having problems. If this solves your problem, please let me know where the confusing spot was so I can iron out the wrinkle. Thanks alot for any help.
