Categorization/Feature Icons (or: Maybe next we can shove the whole article into this template)
Random idea: The Cutting Room Floor's Bob has flags for icons that describe what the game has hidden. Maybe we can do something similar, but for games with certain features; for example, an icon for Master System games with FM support, an icon for Mega Drive games with Mega Modem support, an icon for Dreamcast games with SegaNet support? These icons can also trigger category additions (Master System Games with FM Sound, Meganet Games?) - Andlabs 23:41, 22 January 2011 (CST)
- I support this, provided there's some nicer icons than on tCRF and things are a bit neater. Would be nice to have some master lists of these things too -Black Squirrel 08:53, 24 January 2011 (CST)
Hm, I don't really know about icon selection, but here's what I was thinking of as far as text-based icons though:
TEXT DESCRIPTION MARK III/MASTER SYSTEM: 3D 3D Glasses FM YM2413 MC Card media (MyCard) N2 Game has compatibility issues/does not work with Master System 2s (Ys) and Mega Drives (one of the card ones; I forget the name) [I do believe there are some games that don't work on original Master Systems; I have to check this] MEGA DRIVE: 6 6-Button Controller MM Mega Modem (assuming Sega Meganet doesn't exist, which I'm trying to debunk now) SM Sega Meganet (assuming it does) MA Mega Anser ST Sega Tap 4W EA 4-Way Play (incompatible protocols) SM Sega Menacer KJ Konami Justifier (incompatible protocols) GT Game Toshokan SC Sega Channel MEGA CD: BK Backup RAM cart required/reccommended SATURN: MT Multitap support NL Sega NetLink BC Backup cartridge support FD Floppy disk drive support DREAMCAST: SN SegaNet support VM Plays with VMU VG Has games for downloading to a VMU
