MobyGames Stats - 2021 edition
As per tradition, I present to you the database visualization! Made possible by the MobyGames API.
Previous editions:
8 Ounces Clinoptilolite Zeolite Powder Organic Fertilizer Silica - KUWAIT (P1205B) LITERACY YEAR SG 653-4 MNH - January 2019 - January 2018 - June 2017 - EUC Harley Davidson Black Leather Engineer/Motorcycle/Work Boots - January 2016 - American Heart Association Infant CPR Anytime Training Kit by La - January 2014 - January 2013 - January 2012 - January 2011 - January 2010 - January 2009

An explanation: each coloured shape in the graph represents a platform. The horizontal axis is time. The vertical axis represents the number of games released and is stacked. So the height of a shape on a given point in time indicates the number of games released for that platform that year. The total height of the graph on a given point in time shows the total releases that year. The graph is meant to represent game releases and thus excludes DLC, Special Edition and Compilation items. It does include each game for each platform it was released on.
As usual we see a drop-off at the end, simply because we haven't been able to keep up with all the new game releases.
Feel free to point out interesting info in the graph and your contributions in the thread!
I have also updated the bar chart race I made last year with the new data. (if you recently opened the old one you might have to hold ALT while you refresh your browser page so you don't get served a cached version. The chart animation should end in 2021)
[All data taken from MobyGames. Of course, the graph is only as complete as our database is. Come help us if you can!]

What was the favorite game you played in 2021?
Another year, another traditional thread. At the end of 2021, let us reminisce on all the games we've played over the past 365 days and share our impressions.
As always, the games themselves need not have come out in 2021 necessarily, all that matters is that you played them and they left a mark on you.

Happy new year and new decade! It's time to ask once again: what are your personal goals for 2021, MobyGames or gaming in general related? I guess nobody expected last year to be as crazy as it was, so here's our resolutions from last year. What about this year? Let us know in the comments below.

V.Flash Goal Complete, Next Up: Browser
Special thanks to Kayburt for making quick work of the V.Flash goal! We now all of its games listed, though still in need of credits, covers and screenshots to fill them out.
Next up, a big goal to reach 5,000 browser games. With an emphasis on games made in flash, as Adobe is deprecating that on December 31st. After that it'll be more difficult to document flash games as 3rd party plugins will need to be installed, and flash portals are more likely to shut down.
Recommended sources: Kongregate, Armor Games, Not Doppler. Newgrounds is also good, though they have their own plugin and less likely to disappear.
Thanks in advance to all contributors, and let's see how quickly we can get to 5k!

Arcade MobyGoal Complete!
Thanks to everyone who helped reach our goal of documenting 2,800 Arcade games! That was a big one. Whew.
And with that we're kicking off a new goal. A much smaller one, for a platform called V.Flash - an educational video game console that only had 10 games released. So the goal is to get the platform to 100% completion.

New Metric: Number of People Credited
A new metric has been added to credit listings so you can get an exact count of how many people were credited on any particular release!
There are some fun and interesting ways to use this. For example, you can see how credits have grown between sequels:
Grand Theft Auto = 86 developers
Grand Theft Auto II = 158 developers
Grand Theft Auto III = 185 developers
Grand Theft Auto IV = 1,337 developers
Grand Theft Auto V = 3,692 developers
Note: In cases where credits include thanks, the numbers are shown separately. This is a useful distinction, especially for games that have backers which can easily exceed the number of developers. e.g., FTL: Faster Than Light has 1,053 credits, 1,046 of which are backers/thanks.

New Year Updates
Some updates to kick off 2020!
First, special thanks to MobyGames contributor hoeksmas, who added hundreds of lesser known Apple II games and screenshots to the database! Helping make MobyGames the most accurate and complete collection of games published for the Apple II.
Now onto site updates:

Now onto site updates:
- Optimized API queries (approx. 15x faster!)
- Behind the scenes infrastructure work for the API (moving to a new system soon that's easier to scale and develop)
- Improved page responsiveness for smaller screens (mobile)
- SEO tweaks to hopefully help improve our results on Google (if you're an SEO wizard and have any suggestions, please contact me)
- Changed credits display on combined game pages to show credits for the first release (was showing info from the first platform, alphabetically)
- Removed critic/user score overview section from game pages (discussion)
- Fixed combined game pages that were displaying the first alphabetical platform and release date in the page title
- Fixed issue with forms getting improperly cached

Notable changes since last year:
- Where last year I had to switch to LibreOffice to make the graph due to limitations in Excel, I hit some more since. I decided to write my own code to draw the graphs and nicely colour everything. Makes it look better too with some nicer anti-aliasing.

Another year, another 52 weeks' (well, almost) worth of gaming opportunities. Like in previous years, let us reminisce at our gaming experiences of 2019 and share which games we liked playing the most during this year.
Note that this does not necessarily include new games (since the most of us are here for older titles, wink wink). Whether a game was released in 1989 or 2019, if it impressed you, it is worthy of discussion!

Featured Game
Dune 2000
Every time one returns to Dune 2000, the remake of the famed Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty, one is always immersed in the harsh and nearly barren world in which it takes place. Its soundscape and visual style properly convey the dangers that lurk on Arrakis, both in yet-to-be-discovered areas and well-known hillside bases and Spice patches under which sandworms await. Despite ending up in the shadow of the Command & Conquer franchise that its predecessor helped create, Dune 2000 is a very enjoyable RTS and one of the best uses of an external license of its time.by Plokite_Wolf
