Gamebase Database V4.0 Online!
Keen eyed visitors of the site may have noticed that 2 days ago our online database has been updated to version 4.0!
V4 contains 18800 entries, 1350 more than our V3 which went online on May 2005, and of course many of the previous game entries have been updated with better versions. You will also note that all game screenshots of GB V4 have been converted to PNG format instead of the previous GIFs.
Note however, that the new database is not offered for download yet as we are having some problems with the new installer.
Keep watching this space for an announcement as soon as the downloadable version is complete, hopefully sometime next month...
