Missing from HOL

I've made a database of WHDLoad games and I've found some missing games that have a WHDLoad install but no entry in HOL.

You can download the database here. It's available as Amigaguide, Excel XLSX, CSV, JSON and XML.

https://github.com/MrV2K/WHDLoad-Database

This is what's missing...
  • Castlevania AGA by Dante Retro Dev
  • Crimbo AGA by Blackjet Games
  • Mega Block 2 by Pixel Precision (PD)
  • Mr Men Olympics by Inkie (PD)
  • Super Bagman by JOTD
  • Ami Robbo by A. Szafranski B. Krzymowski (PD)
  • Apple Hunt by Ecthelion (PD)
  • Black Strawberry Cake (Trap Runner) by Night Owl Design
  • BombPac by Oliver Wagner (PD) (CD32)
  • Fatal Mission by Robin Burrows (PD)
  • The Adventures of Genlock Holmes by Micro Ed Inc.
  • Nuxelia Demo AGA by Craze & Pelegolas
  • PacMan '87 by Steve Jacobs & Jim Boyd
  • Red 41 - The Silent Death Demo by Daniele Pomposelli
  • Roboter (German) by Werner
  • Shootout by Clay Holiman (PD)
  • Space Panic by TW Soft (German)
  • Starbirds by Sam Jordan (PD)
  • Tiny Galaga by Pink Abyss
  • Tiny Invaders by Pink Abyss
  • TurboRaketti II by Heikki Kosola (PD)

Information about each title is in the database.

Thank you I have some days off this month so I'll see about at least adding some of the games.

Started to add some games from your list to HOL and found that https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/mr-men-olympics was already in HOL.

Edit: Super Bagman is https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/bagman on HOL.

Bagman500 and Super Bagman 500 are two different games.

Ah, okay. Need to ask if we add it as its own entry or as a version of Bagman then.

The problem is that there are simply not enough people working on HOL. I'd love to add more games, but I simply don't have the time.

Can't you just take more volunteers? Or maybe have some game submission system similar to Mobygames.

The problem is there aren't any volunteers (that I know of at least).

Heh, I once tried to submit an ad for a game just to get a message that the description wasn't formatted correctly pointing out how to change it. I understand that it is meant to 'train' submittters how to format things, but it surely didn't motivate me to try again.

That being said I always post that if you include screenshots and information about the game (for which we have an Excel spreadsheet available) it makes it a lot more easy to create new entries.

Does anybody know how to get past the title screen in the Nuxelia demo?

Pressing fire doesn't work? It did for me

[ Show youtube player ]

Having game submission option from all our members and statebcoear instructions would I think work for more entries and screenshots for new hol additions

Nope, didn't work for me. I'll try again in a bit.

Edit: Okay, re-installed the game and it worked.

@TCD I'd quite happily make submissions to HOL. Maybe there could be a submission template sheet that we could use and then upload that and any media into the hol ftp site like we do currently. You could then check it and add it to the main site.

I think it would be helpful when all Datas through missing games are sended by users.

Meaning, if you find a missing game just search for the Gamedata for yourself and put them in a Text or Excel. Year of release, how many Disks, Developer, Publisher, Language, Freeware or Commercial, Coders, Screenshots, maybe Manuals, HD/WHD etc.
I am using a selfmade Excel.
If you have most Data just send them in the Zone or to the HOL Server.
So TCD or NPI just have to add the Data and don´t need to search for all Datas by themselfs. That costs a lot of time, which they can´t use for HOL.

Yep, that is the idea You can find the Excel sheet in root of the HOL FTP as 'New Game Information.xls'.

I've added the games. TurboRAKETTI doesn't have the 'II' in the title, so it got added just as 'TurboRAKETTI'.

I think that it's v2. On Aminet it's called it TurboRaketti II.

Just wanted to mention why I omitted the 'II' from the entry.
