Motivation[edit]

ScreenScraper (Q78085405) is a media database that can be used as backend for several popular retrogaming platforms (Recalbox (Q55739527), Retropie, Launchbox). It records an impressive 129,087 video game (Q7889), from an also impressive 213 platforms − while not quite the 270+ of Mobygames, that’s quite more than the typical ~100 (GameFAQ, IGDB, GiantBomb) − including some quite confidential systems (like the Aamber Pegasus (Q4661443), for which we do not have any identifiers at the moment).

Will make a Mix’n’match catalogue for it. Jean-Fred (talk) 20:50, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
