Commodore in the name was the easiest, so it's done. Add the 1200 as well.

What do you think the 512K we have got covered by?

As far as I am concerned, the Amiga 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 do not need to be mentioned as they were intended for business use.

But that does not mean that it is not collected? And if they are collected, they must be included in the CataWiki Catalog.

All groups will have 'Commodore' in their name.

There I am disagree. You must include the brands in their own name under which they are sold in the Catalog. Over time, there have been several acquisitions or reboots and we would only have a few brands left. Nice for the overview that suddenly becomes very small, but for people who only collect 1 brand or people who search or want to introduce their own brand, it is more difficult. With computer games you are not going to place Sierra (unfortunately already defunct) and the various variants at Vivendi Games?

That actually applies throughout the Catalog. For example, in the Record section you also have various record labels that are owned by the same company, but have their own label. We are not going to merge them or put the name of that company in front of them. Or take the video section. There it is a coming and going of film studios or publishers that take over each other.

Amiga is qua games eigenlijk alleen Commodore, dus wat is daar mis mee? We gaan de Amiga echt niet splitsen van vóór en na de overname, want dat is voor de werking van de games volstrekt onbelangrijk. We hebben het hier over platformen, niet over de merken van de software die in Catawiki wordt ingevoerd. Maar als er veel protesten zijn, is het net zo makkelijk weer teruggedraaid, hoor.

Bedrijfscomputers hoeven alleen maar opgenomen te worden als zich daar een spel voor aandient, dus die worden inderdaad nu niet toegevoegd.

Amiga is really only Commodore in terms of games, so what's wrong with that? We are really not going to split the Amiga from before and after the takeover, because that is completely unimportant for the operation of the games. We are talking about platforms here, not the brands of the software that is imported into Catawiki. But if there are a lot of protests, it's just as easy to reverse it, you know.

Company computers only need to be included if a game comes up for that, so they are indeed not being added now.

edit: posted in pieces due to technical glitches.

@Disney,

Can you name 1 Amiga made by another manufacturer?

The Amiga 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 do not need to be mentioned as far as I am concerned, as they were intended for business use.

Disney: But that doesn't mean it isn't collected, does it? And when they are collected, they must be included in the CataWiki Catalog.

The computers themselves can be found under ' Hardware 'are placed (pending of a section 'computers').

A separate platform is only needed if specific games exist for it.

Arco: Where does the 512K we have go to? your idea below?

I thought that Amiga 512K refers to the Amiga 500 (it is already in it from the very beginning), so I think it can go too.

In your opinion, where does the 512K we have fall under?

As far as I am concerned, that section does not add anything. It refers to the amount of RAM, not a type of Amiga. It seems pointless to me to classify titles below.

Amiga is really only Commodore in terms of games, so what's wrong with that?

I totally agree. This is a section called 'Video games', I think it will not benefit the accessibility of the catalog if we always include company history information in the classification.

Okay, then I'll change the 512K in that new 500 rubric, as Scam suggests. We cannot remove a platform with games still attached, vinjatvideogame.

There are still a few left under the generic name Commodore Amiga. Do one of you want to put it in the right column? Then I throw it away when it is empty.

@fazerco: The first Amigas were made by the company Amiga, but that is negligible. And after the bankruptcy of Commodore, there are still made by the buyer of the name, but that is also minimal and in my opinion not important for Catawiki in the games.

Okay, then I'll change the 512K in that new 500 rubric, as Scam suggests. We cannot remove a platform with games still attached, vinjatvideogame.

Perfect! In this way it is very accessible for the users and all Amiga games can be accommodated in the right way.

Thank you for arranging it so quickly!

There are quite a few under others:

Er staan er aardig wat onder overige:

http://www.catawiki.nl/catalogus/overig/voorwerpen/1161717-computer

Ja klopt, eigenlijk zouden computers hun eigen rubriek moeten krijgen en op termijn zouden er enkel game consoles (en dedicated spelcomputers) moeten overblijven.

Yes, computers should actually get their own section and in the long term only game consoles (and dedicated game computers) should remain.

And until then we have to put all computers (I asked myself where they were in CataWiki) at the section Other . They are not consoles or device specially made for a video game.

For that reason I think that the Philips N60 , the Radiola Jet27 , the Schneider Videopac 7200 , the Apple Macintosh 512 , the Commodore Amiga 500 should be moved to the section Other . Where the 1st use three images of a website.

* cough * nonsense * cough *

There are still a few left under the common name Commodore Amiga. Do one of you want to put it in the right column? Then I will throw it away when it is empty.

The titles have just been moved so the Commodore Amiga section is superfluous with this one.

Something is not going well with the Commodore Amiga 500/500 + / 600 section.

The catalog indicates that there are items in the section, but you will not see them because they are only registered as related items. You can only add new items via a detour, by copying an item from another section and then changing the section.

The Commodore Amiga 1200 section is fine.

The Videopacs are game consoles. It does not matter that a black and white monitor is attached to it.

The Commodore Amiga 1200 section is fine.

Something went wrong creating this new staging area. It should work again now

Can't, Ted. It was not a new collection area.

DVD games are still not listed, but there are 2 games before. Or do they go to another section .....

Can't, Ted. It was not a new collection area.

In any case, the error has been fixed. The items can now simply be found under Commodore Amiga 500/500 + / 600

The naming of the Amiga games will require some attention in due course.
You can see that for example 4801343 is also suitable for the 1500 and 2000, depending on the Kickstart.

Een platform wijst op een soort besturingssysteem waarop je de videogames kunt spelen. Er is enige verwarring omdat onder de PC games vele games vallen, die meestal allemaal op een Windows op DOS platform gespeeld worden. Die besturingssystemen/platformen kunnen op diverse computers geïnstalleerd worden en dan kan de verwarring ontstaan.

DVD games staat er nog steeds niet tussen, maar wel 2 games ervoor

Volgens mij is dat ook geen genre, maar een soort medium. Tegenwoordig worden alle videogames op DVD-rom uitgebracht, Of zijn het games die alleen op een DVD-speler gespeeld kunnen worden ?

A platform indicates a kind of operating system on which you can play the video games. There is some confusion because PC games include many games, which are usually all played on a Windows on DOS platform. Those operating systems/platforms can be installed on various computers and then confusion can arise.

DVD games is still not listed, but 2 games before it

I don't think it's a genre, but a kind of medium. Nowadays all video games are released on DVD-ROM, Or are they games that can only be played on a DVD player?

Dat zijn games die alleen op een DVD-speler gespeeld kunnen worden.

Even verder kijken dan je neus lang is,hoewel dat met zo'n profielplaatje inderdaad lastig kan zijn :-)

These are games that can only be played on a DVD player.

Look further than your nose is long, although that can indeed be difficult with such a profile picture :-)

How are we going to call it smart so that not everyone who has a game on DVD will choose that platform?

Let's not get lost in technical details. In many cases the operation of games depends on the Kickstart version, but sometimes also on the amount of RAM in the Amiga or on the type of processor or type of Amiga and sometimes a combination of these. I don't think we should include all of this in classification.

Accessibility for users is paramount. The current classification seems very clear.

We have now neatly classified the types of Amiga that are mainly related to games. With types 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000 and 4000 we do not initially think of games, so let's not include them in the video games.

Dan doe je DVD - TV Games

Bijdehandjes blijf je toch houden, die hem ergens anders onder plaatsen, maar dat moet het beheer en andere gebruikers maar in de gaten houden (lees aanpassen).

Then you do DVD - TV Games

You keep on keeping clever ones, who place it under something else, but management and other users should keep an eye on that (read adjust).
