[edit] Video Games?
I don't think this is the right term. I think its Arcade games because all the games listed are arcade games and they definitely don't compare with the list provided by most websites and reputable magazines such as Electronic Gaming Monthly. Last I recall, Metroid and Zelda and Metal Gear Solid was on EGM's list. Hmmm Lame list with old timers games.

- True, true, but we didn't name the website. This article is about their website, not about what they should've named it. From the article:
-
- Though it has "videogame" in its name, the title is a bit of a misnomer. The KLOV only lists arcade machines. The site of Moby Games, however, does catalog video and computer games.
- HTH :-) — Frecklefoot | Talk 19:22, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)
But I could swear it covered ports too, when you search for ninja turtles, you find both the original and sequel arcade games, and their ports to NES and Genesis/SNES respectively --209.23.129.74
- I'm not sure what you're referring to. Do you mean the KLOV or MobyGames? I searched on the KLOV for "ninja turtles" and only came up with all the arcade games and its sequels. The list didn't show any console games. MobyGames, however, would have all the console ports. — Frecklefoot | Talk 15:36, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "Videogames" is evil
Am I the only one bugged by them spelling video games as one word? It's just so annoying. I wish I could move this article but the site it's based on spells it incorrectly as well. TJ Spyke 06:11, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Since the website spells it this way, it doesn't really bother me. :-) — Frecklefoot | Talk 19:14, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

- it is completely irrational to be annoyed by this. see also: prescriptive linguistics -anon —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.137.192.69 (talk) 03:58, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Some changes
I made a couple of changes here. In the history section, there were some passages that sounded like a PR-text. I kicked them out and left only the parts that actually stated facts. On the other hand, I removed the portion in the introduction where it says the site name is a misnomer. Just stating that it has videogames in the title but lists only arcade games is enough and more NPOV. Finally I removed the external links section. Since the whole article is about the site, it is already linked in the top right box, and a seperate link to the top 100 doesn't make a lot of sense. --84.112.30.185 19:16, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
