New Game Box Art or Game Covers Section Added
Tue Jul 13, 2010 5:10 pm | by Hot Trout | 0 comments
It is time to release a brand new section to this website. The Videogame Covers or Box Art database is an extensive collection of scans of original game boxes, covers, CD labels, tape labels and other art. In here you will find the cover you need for your downloaded rom. Already this database is quite extensive and covers some rare formats. This is the starting point and it will continue to grow. Thanks to all those that helped with this mini project.
Important Changes to ROM Database

Everyone Please Read
I keep getting asked if I can offer complete roms sets instead of single roms. ALthough I can not offer complete sets due to bandwidth restrictions I have made three important changes now to make downloading more enjoyable.
1. I have allowed the downloads to open in a new browser window. This will allow you to start your download without navigating away from where you were in the database and therefore loosing your place in the database. This should make downloading faster, as you will be able to have multiple downloads at the same time.
2. The Second thing I have done is to simplify the download screen by removing the majority of advertisements. The new screen is faster that the previous version.
3. I have removed the INVIEW adverts, these are the adverts that appear between pages when browsing. This will also remove frustration when browsing.
I hope these changes will help everyone enjoy the site even more.
Tandy Memorex VIS Roms Added

Our latest addition to the database is the very rare and odd Tandy Memorex VIS (Visual Information System)Roms section. This multimedia console was released in 1992 as Tandys answer to the home multimedia revolution and was similar to Philips CD-i. The system was sold in Radio Shack stores for $699 and did not do well. It made a huge loss for Tandy and coined the new acronym of Virtually Impossible to Sell.
Bandai Playdia Roms Added to Database

Our latest addition to the database is the Bandai Playdia Roms section. This console was released exclusivly in Japan in 1994 and has somewhat of a cult following. I have added the complete know rom list. Be aware that these roms are very large and take a while to download. A good reason to upgrade to unlimited speed for just $10 for life.
