Well, of course we'll keep an open eye at the rest of the world as we are interested in what happens there.
So, a great looking and promising game-database is going to start in the next months: Archive.vg

What happened so far, part 1
In December 2010 a guy named Jens registered in the discussion
board of Kultpower and TheLegacy and asked the communtity:
"What if we found a non-profit registered association of gamers to create the ultimate, worldwide, community-based database about computer and video games, pushing to academic standards of documentation?"
After some hesitant answers from other board-members he went further and stated:
"I want to create a new project like Mobygames or TheLegacy, but better."
Wow. That was an announcement! To "replace" Mobygames and TheLegacy, that is a sweeping goal, indeed. MobyGames with more than 60,000 game entries, TheLegacy with more than 35,000 games recorded. Not to forget the hundreds of thousands of screen shots and cover scans, these two projects have accumulated over the years.
So we asked for some more details.

Hello World
We finally arrived at an agreement about the name of our new game database: Oregami, which stands for "Open Register of Game Information". Keep this one in mind!
For the moment we will only maintain a weblog where we want to inform all of you about the progress we are making in the development of our new game database. Stay tuned for more!
We are also on Facebook and Twitter. So no excuses! ;-)
