[edit] Necessity?

I don't mean to be rude or offensive to anyone, but is a list of playstation games necessary and/or of enough importance to be included in an encyclopedia? I doubt World Book would have anything like this, and if anyone desired to know an exhaustive list of games that badly, then google it.

Please take a look here, here, and here. This list exists because it is directly associated with the Playstation 1. Ceros 04:14, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Needs

• More Japan and Europe only titles
• Different Japan and Europe names from US version
• Older PS titles (big box versions, etc)
• Newer PS titles
• Non-game PS discs (demos, instructional discs, image library discs - mostly Japan)

[edit] Broken Links

I'm currently working on organising the dead links to new or existing articles, and adding some new games along the way. Haoie 01:51, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

I went and added some more obscure PSX games, like Blast Chamber. There was also ESPN Extreme Games, which I still own, that was a PSX launch title in the big box. I added a note that it was re-released as 1Xtreme for the Greatest Hits version.

I'm curious what other information you want. Like release dates, genres, etc. I'm still very new to editing Wikipedia pages, but I will do my best to help. --Brandon Myers 20:08, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

I'll have a look at some of the stuff I've got and cross-reference it with the list here. Anything new I'll add it's been a while though digging up old stuff is tricky... --RBlowes 20:28, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicates removal

During an edit sometime in the past week, someone made a mistake where every entry from somewhere in the J section through the bottom of the page was duplicated at the end of the page. Almost as if they copy/pasted the page, and only replaced through half of a J entry. I took out the duplicates after the first Z section, and after the link to the French page. I do not know if there were any new game additions to those later sections or not. If so, I apologize. I wanted to make mention of this because the edit comparison page makes it seem like I took the duplicates out of the first section, and I actually did not. Any changes made to the first section should still be there. --Brandon Myers 21:29, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List Cleanup.

I will add a {{clean-list}} template to this list because none of the games are referenced. I will also add a {{listdev}} template. I'm not sure if this list is complete or not, but if anyone can somehow confirm that it is, feel free to take down the {{listdev}} template and add a {{complete-list}} template along with a reference showing that the list is indeed complete. These games are old so most of the references for these games will probably have to come from the Internet Archive. Regardless they still need a reference. Ceros 03:54, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I found a list of playstation 1 games here that can help in referencing. Ceros 04:42, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Production of PSones have ceased in March 2006 and I haven't heard of anymore games for the PSone being developed or released. Since this article is part of the WikiProject for Computer and Video games, I think now would be a good time to start working on this article to make it look similar to the List of Virtual Boy games. I think the List of Virtual Boy games, since it's a featured list, will be the baseline to use for all lists of console games on Wikipedia. I'm going to start this by implementing a table for this article with a column for Title, Developer, Publisher, and Release Date(s). Ceros 20:36, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I think there's two ways to add referencing for each game the first way is this:

Title	Developer	Publisher	Release dates
007 Racing — Neoseeker	Eutechnyx	Electronic Arts	November 20, 2000

The second way is this:

Title	Developer	Publisher	Release dates
007 Racing	Eutechnyx	Electronic Arts	November 20, 2000

I personally like the second way. I think this way it will look far less cluttered. Of course with the second way, each website that is used still has to be cited somewhere in the article. Does anyone know of anymore ways to work with links? Ceros 14:48, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Here's the way I was thinking of earlier to do the referencing.

Title	Developer	Publisher	Release dates
007 Racing ​	Eutechnyx	Electronic Arts	November 20, 2000

Basically, there's no space between the game entry and the link. I used the zero width non-joiner (‌) zero width space (​) HTML entity. This just leaves the game entry itself and an arrow for the link itself. Reference for each website used will be at the bottom. This is the neatest I can make this list look. If no one objects, then this should be the way all further entries are made.

The way to do this for each link is;

[http://www.website.com/ ‌] [http://www.website.com/ ​] Had to change to using zero width space (​). Some browsers rendered ‌ differently. Ceros 01:19, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SCEE/SCEI Nitpicking

Does anybody else think that due to the size restraints of the tables, all instances of 'Sony Computer Entertainment Europe/Inc.' look absolutely awful? I would suggest that these should be changed to SCEE and SCEI respectively, any thoughts? Dragonfly888 16:27, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Release dates

Please see here for the proper way of listing release dates: Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer and video games/Computer and video games article guidelines#Release dates. You can't use "in video gaming" links with full dates. --Mika1h 21:28, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
