A heap of new titles, mainly C64 ones located by iamaram, have been added.

We've added a bunch of Sinclair QL titles, and the rest (?) of the parser-based Sierra games as well. As my esteemed co-editor Alastair pointed out a short while ago [actually it was Mr Creosote, on the forum, who first pointed this out - Alastair], the early Sierra titles used a normal text input interface, and though I used to vehemently deny that they belonged here, I'll have to eat my words again.
But the problem is an interesting one - what games qualify to be included here? There are an awful lot of borderline titles, with various degrees of joystick control, graphics interface, multiple choice selection and what have you. The verdict isn't in yet :)

There are now over 5050 games and over 2400 solutions in the database. Among the games added to the site during the past few weeks are the various non-point-and-click Quest adventures by Sierra On-Line (and there I was thinking that all of their Quest games were point-and-click).

Things have been a bit quiet on this side, but I wanted to get an update out before the end of 2011. We still have some stuff submitted in the admin queue that we are working on adding!

A brief update to show that things are still moving. This time there has been some investigation into obscure French computers.

A quick update to thank everyone who has submitted new games and solutions. (Apparently I've contributed something as well, but for the life of me I can't remember what!)

It's all been a bit quiet recently due to having other commitments; but I'm happy to say that we've finally crossed the 5000 games in our database mark (5001 as of the time of posting). Thanks to all the contributors for this mammoth achievement!

Just a quick update to stop the next one being too big. We've had a large amount of new games added on multiple platforms. We are nearly at the 5000 games mark, which is quite impressive as a year ago we'd just got to 1500!
