Every single game was hand entered by contributors and carefully verified by our approvers.

A huge thanks to the thousands of MobyGames contributors over the past 15 years who’ve helped us reach this point! Including each platform release, we are currently at 94,818 total game listings for 165 platforms.

• Added gold star and blue flame icons for Patrons (please email [email protected] w/ your account name if you haven’t yet)
• Added ability for Patrons to remove ads
• Added Platinum Supporters to the footer
• Fixed screenshot edit function for approver+ folks
• Minor design updates for login / register pages
• Updated MobyGoal to be more attainable… (changed from 4,500 -> 4,000)
• And introducing Moby’s Trivia Tuesday! An interesting factoid every Tuesday from the MobyGames vault ‘o trivia.

I’m very excited about this update, because… we’ve resolved the long standing cache problem! (e.g, the issue w/ new game urls not updating or newly approved games blinking in and out of existence, etc). Additionally, you should find the site a good bit faster. A big huge Moby-sized thanks to Brian Hirt for his help.

A few other things:

• Added a page for Patrons, which will be updated with the supporters as soon as we get their info
• As a special thanks to early supporters, the first 100 Patrons will be forever immortalized as a Founding Patron
• Tweaked the Reward tiers w/ thanks to your feedback; Now gold star and ad removal are at the $5 tier. $25 now includes a thank you in the Weekly Whale and a link to your website or twitter account. Removed the $50 and $100 tiers, so there’s a clearer distinction between who the tiers are aimed at (users vs companies - though anyone can choose any tier)
• If there’s a reward we’re missing that you would find compelling, please let us know!
• Added a handful more quotes to the footer from community suggestions

• New MobyGoal! Mobile Mania. 4,500 games for Android, iPhone and iPad
• Screenshot, cover and portrait thumbnail display fixes
• Redesigned the platform selection UI on screenshot pages
• Various SEO updates, including like and g+ button (please help us boost those numbers as it’ll improve MobyGames’ significance in search)
• Better responsiveness for header and footer. Works nicer on phone, but still not great - a work in progress.
• Fixes for Approver+ access
• Added random game quote to the footer (please suggest additional quotes and associated game or game group link)
• Re-added the % of completion for MobyGoal
• Fixed hover state for the main menu
• Added some variants for the Moby motto in the footer
