Currently implemented via RFC2822-style headers within +the 'notes' field. More research is needed to determine if the notes field or a +table is a better way to achieve this. If an addition to the database format is +deemed necessary, a restructuring may be in order. + +--- + +One of the things curious about managing a game collection that doubles as a +backlog is, you get games on systems that were originally on other systems. How +do you classify those games? The original game is the actual content you're +playing, but you bought it for the newer system! If you track ownership +correctly, you'll put it under the new system. If you care about tracking the +original release, you're a little stuck. + +A perfect example is Virtual Console games on the Wii, WiiU, and 3DS. These +games should have their ownership tracked under Wii, WiiU, or 3DS, but the +original releases are on NES, SNES, etc. Ideally, it should be tracked as a +duplicate of the respective game on NES and SNES if you've owned or beaten them. +That hints toward needing games to have pointers of some sort, to add some +meaning to what's *truly* owned, and what's *been played through*. + +This points to the idea of release types. More experimentation is needed. + +--- |
