Pringles Game
From Sega Retro
Should we cover free homebrew? That would probably be a nigtmare =P If so, should it also be listed among the commercial games? - Andlabs 14:03, 3 June 2011 (CDT)
- I'd only cover a homebrew game if it's something exceptional or very well-known. - Hivebrain 14:21, 3 June 2011 (CDT)
- As long as it's "notable" I'd go with it. This is a game about Pringles... that's pretty notable. It's the hacks and unfinished crap that don't need representing. But it's not wise to rule them out altogether since there's various home-made test ROMs which might come in handy for emulator developers or whatever.
- I do think more effort should go into cracking down on the tens of thousands of official games, rather than hunting out homebrew though. -Black Squirrel 14:23, 3 June 2011 (CDT)
- Are there really much? *drools* The only ones I know are this, Pier Solar and Ôergs Tech Demo, the rest are pirates. =/ Well, I'll look into getting some info on the official ones ^^ -DM 03 Jun 2011 21:32 CET/MEZ
- There's a difference between all three of those... This game was a free ROM developed by someone who does some amount of research. Pier Solar is a commercial game with money being thrown at it. The MDEM's First demo.. is just that =P Anyway my point is how we would classify homebrew... especially since the 8-bit Sega world probably has more! Therefore my question now is: should the main Mega Drive Games category contain these homebrew games or not? - Andlabs 14:40, 3 June 2011 (CDT)
- I wouldn't. Wouldn't be a massive problem in the Mega Drive's case, but when you get to the Dreamcast it would be a different story. And consistency is key -Black Squirrel 14:55, 3 June 2011 (CDT)

- I don't have a problem with this in theory, but in practice I agree both with Black Squirrel's point that we would need to be consistent and the larger point of us having about a million other things we need to take care of before we start to tackle homebrew. - Scarred Sun 23:01, 3 June 2011 (CDT)
