PC Adding PC games to the Database

[twistedsymphony]

I'd rather based the "generations" on something more concrete than decades....

does anyone know who owns this logo?



if I broke it down by CD/DVD it would be about

????-1984- Pre CD
1985-1994 - CE
1995-NOW - DVD
^that's based on when the format actually became availble... I would suspect you'd see it shifted about 5 years based on when they actually saw heavy use.

I'd also suspect that in a year or two we'll start seeing PC games on bluray with multi-DVD games fairly common and blu-ray drive prices coming down.

though it seems most PC gamers just buy on Steam or D2D or whatever.

EDIT: according to this:

the first PC CD-ROM game was "Manhole" by Activision in 1989 but it didn't really become popular until 1994 when Myst was released.


and according to this:

aside from a few bleeding edge stragglers PC-DVD games didn't start appearing until 1998

I think I'm starting to warm up to the idea of the Medium dictating the "platform" for PC games

we could have

PC Floppy
PC CD-ROM
PC DVD-ROM
PC Download
PC Blu-Ray

part of the reason I like this is because even with games that were released say on CD as well as DVD, it was almost like a separate Edition of the game, you went to the store and picked up the box with the medium you wanted... for our DB of a CE was released on both CD and DVD I would think it would have 2 entries to differentiate them anyway.
