The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
HERE ARE THE RESULTS OF THIS COMPETITION. I have read ALL the entries!
A lot of entries mentioned things which have generally been discussed before or are in the pipeline. They include:
User Profiles
Polls
Walkthroughs and Game Guides
Highest Scores
Who is currently posting
Splash Plastic (which is too expensive for us to do)
Online Reddies
Logos and Ringtones (see UKphonetones.com)
Genre search for games
Tell a Friend.
It just goes to show how busy we are that we are unable to get many of the above into place. But hey, expenditure is controlled by income (hint).
I liked Darkness' idea about tutorials, and Mantis made the suggestion to have a "Gamesmaster" of the forums based on competitions for high scores.
Cookie Monster wants people to be able to promote their website (we already offer this for Freeola customers) and he also suggests that we have an office pet which is monitored with a web cam (brilliant).
Monkey_with_Attitude suggests a "most played games of the week" counter on UKgames.com.
Freak of the Dark says our logo should "move or something".
Turbonutter reckons we should run Flash games and this is supported by Shaneo who says we should run SR Arena and give prizes to the best players. Turbonutter also tells us that we are lacking on PC game specification of the type you find on the back of the box and Swish extends this to a link under each title.
CDouch is a "man of a thousand ideas", mostly on the button too. He lists: Information on gaming from around the world, more mini sites like UKgt3, kids corner, celebrity visits and better organised release info including more information on unreleased games (to name but a few of his suggestions).
The rules (written by Kendozod) state "exciting and would attract a lot of visitors".
THE WINNERS ARE:
CDouch for MORE INFORMATION ON UNRELEASED GAMES.
Turbonutter for FLASH GAMES.
Many thanks for all of your participation and, for the time being, I promise not to confuse the issue by holding any other similar competition.
All the obove written by Tony (The Judge)
************
Below are the original rules written by Kendozod
New Site Features.
Tony has let me loose to post a new and exciting competition!
So here goes:
This competition is for all of you to think up new features for our websites. We already have cheats, clips, demos, discussions etc but are there other features you would like us to add?
The aim here is for the feature to be low admin maintenance and low in cost (obviously!) but be exciting and would attract lots of visitors.
They can be fun, educational, business, reference, silly, cool - anything as long as they NOT sexual or violent in nature.
This competition is open for 1 month and the best ideas that we USE will win a game as part of GAMEADAY. If no ideas are used then I will pick 1 winner that I deem the best.
CLOSING DATE: 8th July 2001
So get thinking and posting. Remember, your suggestions could make a difference!

Or a libary where you can click on the link and it sends you to a list that has
NINTENDO-
NES
SNES
N64
GAMECUBE
HANDHELDS
SONY-
PSX/PSone
PS2
SEGA-
MEGADRIVE
MASTER SYSTEM
DREAMCAST
MICROSOFT-
XBOX
and maybe something about Atari, Amiga or whatever but that one could be optional but it could be good if it was there!
These would have
info on the company if you clicked on e.g: NINTENDO, MICROSOFT.
info on the console(s) if you clicked on HANDHELDS, PS2.
If you do decide to use this idea I don't mind if you use my Comparing future STATS, for GAMECUBE and XBOX with your own bits included and I'm sure cookie monster won't mind u useing his 'The History of Nintendo' topic with your owns paragraph's added!

You could feature a Name the Game competition, where you have a screenshot from a game, retro or modern and for the really well known ones, you could make it blurry to make the competition harder. You put a picture up once a day and the person who gets the most answers right at the end of the week will win an extra GAD.
In the event of a tie, which could be common, depending on the ease of the screenshots, it's the first person to answer a question that a mod posts in one of the forums.
Alternatively, you could make the competition monthly and have a few winners. You get a point for each answer right, so the max. points someone can get is 30/31 (28 for every fourth Feb).
This would really test peoples' gaming knowledge.

I said that a few months ago when there was that other "site features" thingymabob. Sorry to put you down, but I wanted to make sure that my idea wasn't stolen! Great minds think alike!

I think we should have a site called SR Arena, where online games can be setup and the winner can win a gameaday. What do you think?

it would be really great if you had a site where people can promote their web sites, they could post the URL and if people visit it, then they can post what they think of it.
