HOL database is opened ! - Page 3

Guede · 17 December 2002, 11:14

I have to say that HOL is indeed mighty impressive. You guys have obviously put a shitload of time and effort into the project. No doubt about it, this is the definitive database of Amiga games.

My congratulations goto all who have worked on it. And my thanks go to RCK for leaving it open. Otherwise I would have missed it had there only been the preview because some of the relies turned up on friday and I spent the entire weekend on the piss.

Everyone who has spent time on this project deserves a pat on the back, and if ever any of you are around my neck of the woods I promise I to take you down the pub and shout you a few dozen schooners.

Is there a way of listing all the games in the HOL chronologically?
If not does anyone know where I can find this info?
TIA

The HOL only lists year of release, rather than month of release, so the best you can get is an alphabetical list of each game for each year. And you can do that from the interface.

However, some games are missing year of release still!

Thats good enough for me.
Cheers

G'day all, I notice that the game I programmed "Saga: Age of Heroes" has been posted to the Zone. Did someone request this? I am flattered :-) I couldn't see a post specifically about it but since it was apparently there for HOL purposes I thought this was the place to post.

Anyway, just posting to say that I'm available for tech support etc. for this software, so if any bugs are found please report them. Apart from possible bug fixes (if any bugs are found) I'm not planning to do much more work on this one in the next few months at least. But I will listen to your suggestions for improvements and probably implement those early next year.

I should also point out that the current version is now 1.23, this is not a lot different from the 1.22 that was posted but fixes a few translation bugs (which would be of interest only to German-speakers) and adds several mouse shortcuts for keyboard operations. I suggest that if you are going to add Saga to some kind of archive that you use 1.23 if possible. Thanks for your interest in the game.

Is it a shareware/freeware game?

In addition to Cody, I'd be interested also Tim

@Dr Bong,
I have posted my little input in Galahad's HOL Amendements thread (The "Some more input..."-posting).

DrBong · 19 December 2002, 18:05

Ok, thanks Tim......I'm trying to catch up on almost a week of EAB posts!

Yes, it is open source freeware.

Just wanted to say thank you for making such a grate database website, I'm amazed and impressive the time and effort that must of gone into to making this site, I love the fact that I can find any game, example I just wanted to have a look at a Road Kill review, found 4 magazine scans reviews, dozens of screenshots, box art, cheat codes and information. Thank you to all involved
