Concerning the speed-if games I doubt that they are a very interesting addition to this site. Contrary to other games I think most of them are never meant to be played by others but are as Jacob states just a Joke between a small group of friends.
Whether playing a certain game is a waste of time as Jacob states is a very personal opinion. Maybe playing any game is a waste of time as I can easily make out a list of more useful activities, but it certainly can be fun playing a game Concerning old basic games although they sometimes lack interesting puzzles (a lot of modern games also lack this in my humble opinion but that’s another topic), I think the difference is they were written to be played by others as a game rather than just being created around some inside joke.
I think it is a good idea to use only one genre for the speed-if games. The same counts in my opinion for the IF comp games. As the year already is mentioned by each game record it is not needed to make a different genre for each year because you could have just one if comp genre and when you click on it you can see which game belongs to which year already, but that’s my opinion.
About the random games displayed on the homepage I wonder if it isn’t possible to exclude a certain genre from the games displayed. I used to do the same as Sudders often I saw an interesting game and started playing it. As most of the speed-if games are not very playable I agree with him about this.
Concerning the lost titles I don’t think it is bad they turn up between the random games, because they can stimulate people to search for a copy (at least that is what I did on several occasions).
