Atari Question

I played and still play Atari games, but I noticed when adding games the site only seems to support the Atari 2600 and Jaguar Systems, you also have the Linx but I never owned or played with the Linx system. My question is do I just add Atari 5200 and Atari 7800 games under Atari 2600 or will those systems be added later or is there another way? I also have not looked yet but I don't think I saw the Phillips CD-i system Amiga CD32, Turbo Duo. However I assume that all Amiga 1200, CD32 etc are classified as just Amiga. And although the Turbo Duo isn't listed it is another of the Turbo Grafx Systems. But the Phillips CD-i I also don't know where to put it. Xavix also has a few games all sports but again I don't know where it should go. Just some questions, thoughts, and stuff.

If a system is not supported on the site yet it's just a matter of doing what you did and making a thread / post about it on the forums here. When the admin sees it I'm sure he'll add the systems to the list of options.

A lot of platforms are absent because I wanted to keep the list as short as possible. No need to have every platform if some of them will never be used. I have added the following, let me know if you need any more.

Added:
Atari 5200
Atari 7800
Phillips CD-i

The CD-i has games? Sorry I couldn't help it. JK

Thanks

Did you own a CD-i? I have never known anyone that actually did. I am curious what was your opinion of some of the games on it and the console as a whole?

Me? No. I have a friend I got started on this site and their games played and completed rival my own, I've known them for years, when helping them put together their list I ran across several CD-i games and then realized I couldn't help them input them, I'll be sure to ask, I know it had some zelda games I'd never heard of as well as Mario Hotel which I know nothing about, and from the way it looks the games came on what looks like Audio Cassettes. I sort of wish I didn't miss out on that system. They lived in Australia for quite awhile, perhaps the system was more popular there. I have not seen the system for it so I suppose theirs broke or got lost. The Zelda games were Link: The Faces of Evil, and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon.

My mistake the CD-i games are on CDs. I am not sure which system I am thinking of that had the cassette tapes. She just told me it was the ZX Spectrum which was a rival to the Amstrad, Oric-1, Atmos, Commodore, BBC Microcomputer, and the Atmos. Most were British systems that never made their way to America or if they did were fairly rare. She shared a wikipedia link with me. I wonder what else I missed out on in my youth?

Mario Hotel was a very simple puzzle game that involves shutting doors and riding elevators.

The CD-i is hard to find because it looks exactly like an old DVD player. It's like camouflage, really. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a truckload of them at some thrift store labeled as such.

Audio cassettes were some of the first mass media games. I remember hearing about the ZX Spectrum, but I only ever encountered the 8-bit Atari and Apple cassettes during that time period.

@Admin: If you're looking to fill out the platforms, you could do worse than copy MobyGames' list. I don't think they include any of the Laserdisc platforms, but really, who has those anyway?
