Thank you Pat!
In fact I left a blank space ,which is right now not visible ,on each page where in a second moment,when I settle down,I can put a short description of every game.As for the rating I don't think to be the best qualified person to do it. Embarassed

I'll also put hyperlinks on every game page so that you could pass from one game to the next in each manifufacturer without going in and out.It will be a very ergonomic improvment.
I'm also thinking about buying some web space and register a domain, and transfer the site there.

Yeah, nicely done... Nice photography too, what do you use for lighting? I have a little folding light-box, but I'd like to set up something different...

(Now I have to re-do all my pictures... Rolling Eyes

)

I like the idea of the hyperlinks too (where you the one that suggested that for my site?). I have so many things I want to do to my site... Not enough time in the day! Mr. Green

Thank you Rik!!
As a matter of fact I'm not satisfied with the pictures as I took them at work!I didn't pay any attention to the light , just checked they weren't under or overexposed.I used both the natural light and the tube light as I tried not to use the flash that's why there are many that are blurred because I didn't use the flash and I had to keep as much as posssible a stady hand.I'm no photographer so I let my $ 500.00 Fujy do the work for me.I did the pictures in a rush!!Over 2300 photos in 3 days!!!I was really eager to show my collection to you guys!I'll try to remake many of them now that the frenzy is a little bit down.
You know what I'm a little bit proud?About the pictures of the back of the boxes or the back of the games themselves.It 'is an aspect always underrated ,but in my opinion tell a lot about the games or the companies that made them.
The entire site took me 3 days to work so as soon as I began to know the possibilities of the program I'll make changes.I like to try and discover things !

Very nice site Alex! Very clear pictures and nicely presented.

I wish I had the kind of job that would let me take 2300 photos of anything over 3 days!

The only thing I've seen so far that could do with changing is that you have spelt 'Galoob' as 'Gallob' on all their games.

If I see anything else I'll let you know.

Great work. Keep it up Very Happy

Neil.

Yeah, Neil will spell-check your whole site for you... Mr. Green

I feel like I owe him money for the service...

I think I can take that as a compliment Wink

Thank you Neil!!That is a BIG error! Embarassed

It's just like a car saloon that sells V.M.W.s instead of B.M.W.s! Laughing

I allredy spotted several other spelling errors and I'll try to change the home page presentation :too childish.
All of this of course "at work" monday morning,I got everything in my computer over there.Yes I work 7,5 hours a day and in that period I have about 6,5 hours free!That's why I've build a superpumped gaming Pc where I can play almost all the time at Medieval Total War 2 which is a great RTS game(before that at Rome Total War and Medieval 1).When I'm tyred of playing I do whatever else I want,including shooting thousend of pictures and building the site!And I get even payed for this, not much but payed!!And finishing the work at 2 PM I got the rest of the day to dedicate time to my son Davide!And this is going on for the last 6 years! Embarassed

I know,and my wife knows ,I can go for much more , but as of right now there is nothing more relaxing than going to "work" whistling with the only problem that to find something to keep me occupied.
Thanks again!

Alex

PS-Neil.... have you checked the High Scores Section? Laughing

Cool, even better. Can you make the background image be a random image from a pool of images? It'd be kind of cool to see something different there every time you visit the page. Cool

Are you programming the whole thing, or is it a type of plug-and-play package? It's a neat design...

Rik

I'm embarassed Rik!!

Thank you for your comment.Actually I'm using a cool program called Website X5 by Incomedia.It's a wysiwyg (what you see is what you get)type of program that requires no knowledge of any programming language.Just drag and drop!!It has limitations but you can put online an entire website ,including an online shop in just 1 day!
As for the background image I can't make it random .It has to be still,I could make the other pictures turn like a slideshow but I chose to keep it simple ,few words and simple minimalistic design,just like your great site.The main stars are the games!!
Thank you so much!This is a new experience for me and I'm quite excited!

Alex
