What isn MobyGames?

MobyGames has a very focused direction–to record computer game information for posterity, historical research, and user-contributed ratings. We are not interested in re-inventing the wheel, nor are we interested in competing with professional gaming magazines. As such, you will not find the following on MobyGames: • The games themselves (offering commercial games for free is illegal, so we don’t do it) • Game demos (we don’t have the space, and it’s best to get the demo from the game company anyway in case there are new patches, etc.) • Patches or bug-fixes (no space and/or time to maintain this; the game companies themselves are the best places to get patches anyway) • Up-to-the-minute gaming news (there are tons of other web sites dedicated to gaming news) By keeping our direction focused, we can concentrate on giving you the best possible service.
