@danielbruce: Wow you responded to a post I wrote 15 years ago!

I'm actually not sure how removing an image works now.

@marino Nice. And yeah there's definitely a difference between a stand alone DVD game and a board game that came with a DVD because that's where they put the questions/movies clips or some other component.

Would it be possible for DVD to be added as a platform? Not sure if this has been discussed before.

There were quite a few DVD games that were made.

Rename NASCAR 21 to "NASCAR 21: Ignition"

This his been discussed many times over the years. The conservations lean towards not separating the pages. Here's one of the threads where it was discussed (starting at post #6). I remember this thread and thought it was somewhat recent, but it's actually from 2015: https://www.giantbomb.com/forums/delete-combine-requests-34/the-wiki-discussion-thread-1766034/?page=1

Please rename Marvel Heroes Hyperscan to Marvel Heroes

Thank you

@regularassmilk: I went ahead and created a new page and moved over the correct games - Fresh Games

Madden 20 should be "Madden NFL 20". Thank you.

@eccentrix: I'm don't have any additional info about this title. I added it at the time because it was rated by the ESRB. Apparently its listed as "interactive DVD". Who knows what that means, maybe this is a "choose your own adventure" of something like that. Or maybe it has absolutely zero interactivity.

There are plenty of titles that have been rated by the ESRB that are definitely not games. In that Wikipedia article, it says that a gambling website submitted themselves to be rated by the ESRB simply to prove that they're "AO" content. Simply as a guess, the publisher of this particular title may have said "hey this has video game-like aspects, lets submit it to the ESRB."

Others will probably disagree, but I've always felt that if something is rated by the ESRB, it should be in a video game wiki. There are other video game databases that won't allow those "Learn Math"/ "Learn to Cook" DS titles because they're not actually games. Even if they sold millions of copies and were published by a video game publisher.

In this situation, I certainly do not think all PC software should be in this game database. But the fact that it was submitted to the ESRB gives it a connection to video games in a sense. And who knows, maybe this title really is as interactive as a FMV/adventure game. (It probably isn't. A you mentioned, the reviews suggest that there's likely not much interactively.)

All of this was my opinion of course. There have been many discussions over the years about what should and shouldn't be in this wiki for various things. I've definitely been on both sides of the debates.
