Any good alternative to this wiki? Used to look it up because I thought it had all games worth playing of a platform even if there was tons of mediocre shit in it but can't trust it anymore after I failed to find some true classics on it.

I still use it for reference material but at this point I rather look up IGNs top 100 lists if I want to find a new game to play.

An alternative? No.

You could just update the wiki. Keep in mind that typically speaking, anybody that's played the classics that should be added to that list aren't using that wiki or don't go to that website anymore.

I think the "classics" aren't added because everyone assumed everyone else knew about thedm already.

But you can always add them yourself.

It's a wiki, just fucking add them - nobody's going to take them away. There's shit on there that has single digit scores on Metacritic but as long as you write up a little description anything's fine.

I don't really get the recent backlash towards it either, it's a useful tool to find some obscure games. Using it as some kind of test of your personal taste isn't useful.

Ad them you dickhead. It's a wiki.

Last time I checked it had fucking Daikatana listed as a recommendation for the PC.
>>
>>3661123
People start to forget how awful Daikatana is. Now it's kinda the game that got appreciation because it tried something new.

>>3661127
The GBC version port of Daikatana isn't that bad but still nothing worth recommending.

How the fuck is this a thing

The alternative?

You browse all of the articles on HG101, disregard the texts. Check the screenshots and decide what games look like your thing. Also check forums that talk about specific shit, if you want to get in on less known things. For example, go browse tokugawa or some other PC98 site if you want to know what might be cool PC98 games.

Further expand your searches based on companies you've noticed are interesting through relatively comprehensive databases like mobygames/gamefaqs. Find out all the shit the devs made, find screens, look at box arts, and further expand your increasingly growing backlog.

By this point, you don't need recommendations anymore, there's always something to play. You will never be done. You will never have a life again as the autism consumes you. Still, you aren't done. Now you start downloading full romsets and booting up each rom to see if the contents are worthwhile.

It's honestly just enough to play the well know games and the cult classics. There actually aren't that many hidden gems out there. Most hidden gems are actually still well known games among enthusiasts or just mediocre games that gained the status for no actual reason.

Isn't that what it's best for?

GBC port of Daikatana is amazing
