The good news is that I didn't lose any code but the downside is that I lost my development database. When you say the PC died, do you mean it burnt to the ground and is now ashes? Otherwise, wouldn't the HDD be salvageable?  If it's a laptop it might be trickier, but instead alot more fun.

Not sure if there was a power surge or what, but the mobo died and seems like the hard drive went with it. I've tried to recover the data but it hard drive doesn't spin. I even tried the freezer trick
. Thankfully the PC has shipped and should arrive this weekend.

Hey jas,
any progress on this? I am sorry to say that I temporarily deactivated the scraper for videogamedb in RCB. It takes several seconds to make a request to your site and there is nearly no game found in its current state. So it slows down the whole scraping process without any results. Everything is still there and can be easily reactivated if you have your stuff up and running again. I will watch out for updates. Cheers, malte |

The only place where it might get a little hairy is if you wanted to differentiate between MS-DOS games and Windows-Only games. That's why I think the catch-all "PC" would probably be the better option. You could make PC the main platform and in the info you could have a subcategory for Operating System(s) ppl could checkmark what OS this was released for. You could have a section for ports where people have ported to other Operating System(s) or Platforms. Like Starcraft 2 was released for Windows and Mac. It works in Linux under WINE. I would love to have XBMC scraping my games. feature for XBMC 11? Maybe you could have a place for posting minimum requirements. http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.x...cale=en_US has sc2's.
