The VG Resource

This is something that was brought up a fair amount of times. If someone can help us with that by going through the entire PC / Computer section on The Spriters Resource, The Textures Resource and The Sounds Resource (I don't imagine Models has any besides DOOM and DOOM II) and listing which of those are DOS games, then we can consider moving those to their own console.

Most of the games have been moved over (plus a couple more that were missed):
https://www.spriters-resource.com/ms_dos/

I didn't move the following games, though:

Frogger - It's the 1997 version on the site, not the original MS-DOS version.
The Incredible Machine - I ripped those from the Windows 3.1 version of The Even More Incredible Machine, which has higher-colour graphics compared to the DOS original.
The Incredible Machine 2 - I ripped those from TIM Version 3.0 which actually has different graphics than TIM2 so I mislabelled it all those years ago. Whoops!
Neverwinter Nights - It's the 2002 version on the site, not the 1991 MS-DOS original.

Cool. I wasn't sure about a bunch of games since they weren't listed on the Wikipedia list.

Since those now have their own section it might be a good idea to rename the PC/Computer section to PC/Windows.

That name might make more sense logically but I definitely don't want to rename one of the most popular sections on the site as that would likely cause confusion.

Not to mention we have a number of Macintosh games in there, so calling it "Windows" specifically would be a bit misleading.

Oh, wow. For some reason, I thought we had a Mac section but apparently not! In that case, that's a bonus reason to keep the name as-is.

A new icon suggestion for the Mega Man Maker category. I feel like having a screenshot of the editor is far more fitting for a level editor focused game compared to a gameplay screenshot of a random level that doesn't come with the base game. As an added bonus this would also make it consistent with both Super Mario Maker games which feature editor screenshots as their thumbnails.

Thoughts on splitting the MSX and MSX2 into seperate categories? I don't really feel it makes sense to group them together considering the MSX2 is a massive upgrade in terms of specs, basically comparable to the jump between NES and SNES, and it's also inconsistent with other Japanese computer series like the NEC PC and Sharp X series that are seperated by system revision.

On that note, I also feel it'd be a good idea to rename the Neo Geo Pocket category to "Neo Geo Pocket/NGPC" to match how the Game Boy/GBC and WonderSwan/WSC categories include their color revisions in the name.

When adding a sheet to a new section, could you allow the submitter to decide the placement of that section on the game's page (instead of just putting it at the end)?

No, that would likely cause more problems than it would solve in the long run. You're welcome to submit a report or send a PM once it's approved to have it reordered though.

I just checked and his submissions are for a game not yet approved so it's just a matter of approving some sheets before others.

May I propose a major site idea? Video game UI/HUD resources. We almost have every game resource aspects on here, so why not have UI/HUD arts?

Already covered by TSR.

Do you mean the Sprites section?
