A plea from the developer: If you find any of the Atari Collectors Guides usefull, please take the time to rate the App on the Apple Store, and perhaps even click on a few ads each time you use it. The apps have taken a very long time to make, collating all the information and artwork etc, and it would really be nice to get something back, expecially as I have just spent weeks updating them for iOS6!!
Thanks,
Karl
Nintendo SNES Collectors Guide
The ultimate guide to possibly the greatest console of them all, the Super Nintendo!
Features a game list of 750 commercial releases, ranging from outright classics to horrors that you hoped to never see again, essential for collectors, gamers, or people who just want to reminisce...
Features of the app are:
Single screen interface - no scrolling backwards and forwards to get the info you want.
Full game list with preview image of each title.
Screenshot of each game.
Box image - this is zoomable so you can check out your favourite artwork more closely.
youTube link - direct link to video footage of 99% of the games (requires internet connection) so you can check out just how cool it really was, or find you were remembering a completely different game! The video will play in a small box on the screen as a 'preview', but if you want full screen then with a tap it opens up to full size, and when you have finished watching you go straight back into the app where you left off!
Details of the game itself - Publisher, year of manufacture, and also that all important rarity and value data, for both 'boxed' and 'loose' cartridges'.
Keep your own notes - collectors and gamers NEED to be able to record their collection (boxed, unboxed, instructions needed etc) and high-score for each game - simply type it in and its there for the next time you need it.
eBay link - tired of searching for prices - choose a game and press the button, the app automatically searches eBay fo the very latest prices and availability.
As a collector myself, I have tried to think of all the info I need, and have built the app around this - any features you can think of, let me know!
